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

[fastlax16]

heyo! f'ing sling it.

 

[m.knox]

Evans for 6. Thank goodness.

 

[PurposePitch]

Tell you one thing if we make the playoffs and must play Georgia we will get drilled by 30

Yeah, the Georgia that had their hands full with UMass for much of the game earlier today.

STFU.

 

[LandoComando]

See--normal offense--play action pass results in 6
Stop the gimmicks

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Touchdown Penn State


Omari Evans was WIDE open and has to wait for the Drew Allar pass to land.

10-7 Minnesota

LETS GO!

 

[PennState_one]

Finally putting something on tape to make teams respect the deep ball potential. That helps alot.

 

[GregInPitt]

Allar doesn't seem to read anything on the read option. The time he kept it early in the game he has no running room. And then on first down he hands it off to the RB that ran into a big pile when there was no one to his left the direction he could have gone to.

But, nice of Evans to complete that catch!!!!!
(and of Minny to likely have over covered Warren......)

 

[Onionbelly]

We are so much better than MN. Time to get their head out and start dominating!

He shouldn't be running that--that's part of the problem

 

[psrurock]

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

Spread the ball around. Don't you think Minnesota read the scouting report!

 

[Crusher1950]

So why can’t they show this more often?

I actually told my son the same thing.

 

[LMTLION]

Our 5 star big arm qb was finally allowed to throw the ball down field. AK and Franklin, take note. This works more so than gimmick.

 

[maxoscar]

And back to Beau--f***** pathetic--prevents us from establishing any rhythm.

Bull shit...there you go again. Get lost moron.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Nice run by Singleton, but he rarely makes a defender miss. The Minny RB has already make a half of PSU's D each miss a tackle.

Does he ever?

 

[GregInPitt]

I actually told my son the same thing.

Teach them Young!!!

I sent my son to the Louisville/Pitt game to root against Pitt!!!
(in reality, I didn't have to send him.....)

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Probably not--same overreaction here saying we're going to lose
We're far from "going to lose" but, unlike with Ohio State, there's real concern--tackling and AK's playcalling

It's not over-reaction. It's frustration with a lack of progress. Great teams grow. This one isn't.

 

[Safety Blitz]

I was guilty of thinking:
Don’t drop it !

 

[lazydave841]

If Evans is in the game, he should be run a go or deep post every time. It's what he does best.

I wish Allar would put that a little more on a line, but TD nonetheless.

 

[PurposePitch]

Kotelnicki called down to Franklin and said: "Hey, do you think our whiny, spoiled tantrum-throwing baby fans have pouted enough? Watch this."

 

[fastlax16]

I was guilty of thinking:
Don’t drop it !

You were not alone. I think i was back and forth between don't drop it and dont trip over your own feet.

 

[LMTLION]

Awful holding there!

 

[fastlax16]

Kotelnicki called down to Franklin and said: "Hey, do you think our whiny, spoiled tantrum-throwing baby fans have pouted enough? Watch this."

Kotelnicki peruses the boards when the defense is on the field.

Saying we're going to lose is an overreaction
There's lots of valid things to bitch about

 

[GregInPitt]

Giving up 8 yards on 2nd and 10 is not a recipe for success.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Cmon run D

 

[LandoComando]

If Evans is in the game, he should be run a go or deep post every time. It's what he does best.

I wish Allar would put that a little more on a line, but TD nonetheless.

The only thing that prevents a TD there is an overthrow--he did the right thing

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Giving up 8 yards on 2nd and 10 is not a recipe for success.

Awful

 

[fastlax16]

OKAY!

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

I would have called time out there to get King back in the game. Down was too important. Fortunately Minnesota provides a gift.

 

[LandoComando]

0 & 43 should probably play more lol

 

[fastlax16]

0 & 43 should probably play more lol

I was convinced he was getting stripped when he kept refusing to go down.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Deluca's a play-maker, has a real nose for the ball.

 

[YYZ86]

Tell you one thing if we make the playoffs and must play Georgia we will get drilled by 30

I will take that bet. PSU plus 30.

 

[LMTLION]

I was convinced he was getting stripped when he kept refusing to go down.

Me too

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Why are we playing Beau so much?

 

[lazydave841]

De Luca broke more tackles on that INT return than our RBs have since Illinois.

Dom for RB? Lol

 

[LandoComando]

I was convinced he was getting stripped when he kept refusing to go down.

Same--I was just praying he'd fall

He has the GAs do it ... they need something to keep themselves occupied.
