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

[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.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

The blocking is soooooo bad. Allar is still actively running the ball doing all the work and there’s white shirts standing around looking for someone to block as if there’s not 4 defenders all over Allar.

 

[scrivener]

This is what happens when your running game sucks nads

 

[LMTLION]

I smell an awful loss.

 

[m.knox]

Sacked..... lol....

 

[DELion]

Why is Allar running on 3rd and 11 - SMH?

 

[scrivener]

And, per the fan boys, nobody in the country could do a better job.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Now we have #43 in the game. I can’t

 

[fastlax16]

Defense is going to need to ball out from here on out.

 

[BudatPSU]

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

Who might think of that in this brain trust?

 

[LandoComando]

I smell an awful loss.

We're fine
There's lots of valid complaints without claiming we're going to lose

 

[Marylovesthelions]

every play within 10 yards of LOS really helps the defense

 

[Bardo]

Why is Allar running on 3rd and 11 - SMH?

Please sit Allar down. He’s getting worse.

 

[mnuccio2]

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

BIG GAME James

 

[YeOldeCup]

Mystifying playcalling and Allar playing with no confidence.

 

[LandoComando]

Now we have #43 in the game. I can’t

He can actually tackle if he gets to the guy

 

[okinburg1]

Defense is going to need to ball out from here on out.

Too bad they can't tackle

 

[fastlax16]

3rd and long, our arch enemy.

 

[LandoComando]

Please sit Allar down. He’s getting worse.

We have a winner for the dumbest comment of the year

 

[PurposePitch]

I couldn't see the routes, but we typically seem to run long-developing routes ... often times with things like rubs happening well down field ... not much in the way of quick slants, ins or outs.

We talk about the bad WRs, but I think at least some of it is on our playbook.

 

[m.knox]

MN converts 3rd and 10........ Saw that coming.

PSU makes their QB look like Aaron Rodgers...

 

[okinburg1]

14-0 coming soon to a scoreboard near you. Going out to do yard work. Thanks PSU

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

End of the first quarter...

Minnesota 7
Penn State 0

Gophers are driving.

 

[Onionbelly]

Wow, the team has come out playing like garbage. I hate to be that guy but so tired of JF.

 

[LandoComando]

Mystifying playcalling and Allar playing with no confidence.

No confidence? What the hell are you talking?
We need a new fan base--Allar made one bad decision--his confidence is fine
The playcalling is complete garbage

 

[christoph]

See what a passing game can do

 

[zmfan]

Had an easy road to the playoffs, but Franklin pulls another big blunder.

 

[Nostraduzzi]

We're fine
There's lots of valid complaints without claiming we're going to lose

Playoffs??? LOL!! Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

 

[NoBareFeet]

Finesse teams don't win championships.

 

[j-buff]

We are going to loose just not ready. We are being out coached again. How could this team look this bad. Franklin crapping the bed again

 

[psrurock]

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

5 ran wide.open on that play..Tried to.force it into Warren

 

[junior1]

Too much bull$hit from this offense. I'm done. Hope they lose.

they're heading in that direction

 

[Bardo]

We have a winner for the dumbest comment of the year

Lando, you’re an asshat. I forgot more about football than you’ll ever know. You’re a walking goof.

 

[Crusher1950]

You know I watched a game the other nite that reminds me what happened to them they stood and did nothing the whole first half and lost keep it up guys and you will be in the boat

 

[LandoComando]

There's no defending the playcalling
AK still thinks he has to "trick people" like he did at Kansas
When you have superior talent that can be a part of the gameplan but can't be THE gameplan
Hopefully he gets a HC job after this season

 

[PennState_one]

I bet you this is how OSU fans felt for a little while today as well.

 

[pennstatefan111]

The first quarter was an absolute joke. Embarrassing and pathetic. The OC has learned nothing from the OSU game

 

[fastlax16]

Plenty of time to still win but jesus christ this is bringing back memories from the seasons lead up to covid so far.

 

[SUPERTODD]

Wow, the team has come out playing like garbage. I hate to be that guy but so tired of JF.

It is almost like you see the loss coming based on the degree of stupid look on his face early in the game. Showed him when Minnesota scored and he looked like Joe Biden trying to figure out where he is.

We have Franklin…nothing is easy
