Football James Franklin's gusty decisions help seal 26-25 victory for Penn State

Question here: Is that the 1st fake punt to work during CJF's coaching career at PSU? I'm thinking it is.
 
Army not holding up their end of the bargain. Still possible they or Tulane would be higher.
Yeah, Tulane is where things get tricky--I never thought Army would pull it off but had some hope that Tulane could
Wyoming is making Boise State work--if they lose (doubt they will) the Big XII is definitely in
 
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.

We're 10-1 and #4 in the nation. Suck it.

Go run around chasing some aliens with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster whilst screaming "hyperinflation!" repeatedly at the top of your lungs.

Details on the fake punt call.
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....

As a side note, next week will be the 1st time that the players honored on Sr. day may have an opportunity to come back and play a post Sr. Day game at Beaver Stadium.

Too many if-then-else loops that still need to play out and be provided to the selection committee so that they can meditate on it and make their only meaningful decision.
 

OUT:

  • KJ Winston, S
  • Kaden Saunders, WR
  • Elliot Washington, CB
  • Cam Wallace, RB
  • Kolin Dinkins, S
  • Keon Wylie, LB
  • Zuriah Fisher, DE
  • Andrew Rappleyea, TE

QUESTIONABLE:​

  • Julian Fleming, WR

.... 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.

Fleck still eating Franklin's lunch Gregie? That didn't age well!
lolololol!!!!
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.
