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

[lazydave841]

Every third down is a gimmick--run your damn offense

25% of the play calls are gimmicks. It's just who this team is.

 

[GregInPitt]

I'm not sure why they don't seem to trust Allar on those 3rd-and-short plays sometimes. They keep running the same type of plays already shown on tape, and the tendencies in that situation are obvious.

Yep, what happened to the full backfield, Allar under center and they push him forward a yard....?

 

[LandoComando]

Another missed tackle

 

[mnuccio2]

See now I'm pissed--play your offense--stop with Beau--stop with the gimmicks--RUN THE OFFENSE

lol big games james

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

feels like we never break tackles besides warren

For real. Nick Singleton, for all his talent, never ever breaks a tackle.

 

[fastlax16]

our formers players can break tackles

 

[LandoComando]

25% of the play calls are gimmicks. It's just who this team is.

It can't be--AK has to realize he's not at Kansas

 

[okinburg1]

Final thought - this D can't tackle to save their lives. Someone else mentioned CJF pooping his pants on the road - spot on.

 

[SR108]

For Peter sake tackle.

 

[PennState_one]

The tush push! Yes! I love that play.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Wallace--catch the damn ball when it hits your hands

That one was a little over thrown. Just nipped the finger tips. But a WR on a Top 10 team should make that catch. I did not see the effort.

 

[LandoComando]

That game winning TD by Illinois was absurd--did Rutgers want to lose?

 

[j-buff]

These slow starts are nerve racking.

 

[LandoComando]

And Wallace is our best--he has to make that. Oregon and Ohio State have 3 guys that make that catch look easy

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

mayo on hot dogs is a sin

Ew

 

[BudatPSU]

This is the number 4 team in the country?

 

[fastlax16]

I do miss the yurcich t formation

 

[LandoComando]

These slow starts are nerve racking.

I'm just pissed we repeat the same nonsense and refuse to learn from it. We're going to fine but this is just ridiculous.

 

[GregInPitt]

The tush push! Yes! I love that play.

Didn't they do that last year and the year before?

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

And Wallace is our best--he has to make that. Oregon and Ohio State have 3 guys that make that catch look easy

Allar threw it a tad hard but yeah gotta catch that

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

They tackled a PSU defender out in the flat there - no flag for that LMAO (doubt PSU takes it but you're still supposed to throw the flag regardless if you threw the Illegal Formation flag - which is a "luve ball" flag.).

 

[lazydave841]

One of the few times we've punted a team deep, got a 3 and out, and fielded the punt for positive yardage this year.

Midfield and the ball. Time to turn it on here.

 

[mnuccio2]

This is the number 4 team in the country?

Unreal it’s not shocking no one respects us

 

[PennState_one]

Didn't they do that last year and the year before?

They did it a couple times this year then stopped for some reason.

 

[lazydave841]

This is the number 4 team in the country?

You should see how inconsistent the other 129 teams are...

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Just when I was about to complain about them not using Drew to just line up under center to run the sneak on short yardage downs under a yard they finally come out and run it. I am not a fan of running out of shotgun on short yardage downs that take a while to develop in the backfield

Yea, I miss the T-formation from last year in short yardage, especially near the goal line. This year we even have better horses to run it, but the new OC did not adopt it.

 

[LandoComando]

Wallace actually made someone miss

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

There u go Trey, an actual cut

 

[PennState_one]

Maybe Wallace just doesn't have enough in the acceleration column within his ratings to break free?

 

[LandoComando]

No read option

 

[fastlax16]

Feels like this just may be one of those long days.

 

[GregInPitt]

Wouldn't a pump fake to Warren open up about every other PSU receiver on the field?

 

[LandoComando]

Okay that was a force by Allar trying to get the ball to Warren--bad

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Tf was that?

 

[LandoComando]

We just called a QB draw on 3rd and 11 with Allar
What the **** is happening

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Is AK high?

 

[fastlax16]

****ing awful and then you give them all that yardage.

 

[Onionbelly]

Horrible.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Holy **** AK

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State goes for it on fourth and four in Minnesota territory and Drew Allar takes a sack that will give Minnesota field position near midfield. Have to find a way to get that ball away.
