Question here: Is that the 1st fake punt to work during CJF's coaching career at PSU? I'm thinking it is.
The Big XII might not get any teams in
Yeah, Tulane is where things get tricky--I never thought Army would pull it off but had some hope that Tulane couldArmy not holding up their end of the bargain. Still possible they or Tulane would be higher.
This game was a perfect reflection of the year.
There is a group of reasonably competitive middle-of-the-pack teams in the conference. Minnesota is one of them. PSU is slightly better than these teams. It is a solid Conference #3.
A Conference #3 would not be good enough to get voted into the previous Top 4 playoff system. I would expect that this will be confirmed on the field this year. Reaching the Final 4 is unlikely. It is much more likely that this year will be like most other Franklin years. Respectable, but not good enough to win a Big Game against a complete team that has had time to prepare.
Fleck still eating Franklin's lunch Gregie? That didn't age well!Wish Warren would have scored to make someone without a clue think this was an easier win.....
I think the first playoff game at home will be tougher than the potential 2nd round gameWe'll see when we host a playoff game. Win that one and everything after that is gravy.
If things keep going like they are tonight it might be Indiana--I'd be thrilled with that.I think the first playoff game at home will be tougher than the potential 2nd round game
May get Boise St. I’d take that one.I think the first playoff game at home will be tougher than the potential 2nd round game
Perhaps understandably there was no discussion about the blocked punt that involved the same 2 players. I think that it was more of a punter issue but....Unsung hero Dominic Rulli makes the right call on fake punt in Penn State’s 26-25 win at Minnesota

Best half of in game coaching from CJF IMHO..... And Minni had 1 player out with a bye week to prep. Franklin talking Allar down and showed great courage and confidence in his play calling down the stretch.
I agree. His body language spoke poise and focus. No flailing around frantically. I hope it carries forward.Best half of in game coaching from CJF IMHO.
That comment had nothing to do with "age". It was a point in time comment in the 1st quarter, and yes at that time Fleck was taking Franklin's lunch money.Fleck still eating Franklin's lunch Gregie? That didn't age well!
