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

[PurposePitch]

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

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

 

[LandoComando]

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

Dom for RB? Lol

LOL--Warren might be the only player on the team with more broken tackles after that return

 

[GregInPitt]

Wow that was a nice INT by Deluka. He got to the spot and turned around and it looked like the ball was 5 yards from him in the air. And a great run back as well!

 

[j-buff]

We need to end this drive with a TD

Dom for RB? Lol

I'd be disappointed if Minnesota's offense tackled better than our defense.

 

[LandoComando]

Why are we playing Beau so much?

Because AK loves his gimmicks and Drew isn't ideal to run them
If we played better teams it would cost us games

Dom for RB? Lol

I was just thinking this

 

[lazydave841]

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

I was waiting for the turd monster or bad hands to foul it up.

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

Mills is who went out. #14

 

[fastlax16]

Drew has to throw that away.

 

[LandoComando]

Okay I didn't like that sack by Allar

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Allar is a statue today

 

[j-buff]

What the hell is Drew thinking

 

[GregInPitt]

Both sacks are on Allar. Plenty of time to throw it over Warren's head OOB.

 

[fastlax16]

Allar is a statue today

Coldest game of the year?

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

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

I did not say that. Most here probably feel as I do. Poor starts are not going to fly against better competition. We've played one team in the Top-25, and lost, at home.

 

[YeOldeCup]

"Drew in headlights" on that sack. Froze instead of moving.

 

[PurposePitch]

Drew has to throw that away.

He had a guy down the middle of the field, too. Didn't even need to throw it away.

 

[SUPERTODD]

That’s on Allar. Have some freaking clue what is happening in front of you.

 

[pennstatefan111]

Drew sucks tonight. He needs to sit a series

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Coldest game of the year?

Doesn’t mean he should be a statue

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State is unable to capitalize on it with a touchdown but the Nittany Lions tie the game on a 45-yard field goal from Ryan Barker.

Minnesota 10
No. 4 Penn State 10

Q2 | 7:50

 

[fastlax16]

He had a guy down the middle of the field, too. Didn't even need to throw it away.

He needed to do anything other than what he ended up doing.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

we are a 2nd half game. A tie at the half would be good. No one makes better half time adjustments

 

[scrivener]

Allar rushed that 3rd down throw after the sack. He had Wallace open

 

[Bardo]

You don't know anything about the game if you want to bench Allar
It's maybe the dumbest idea ever but maybe you're just that dumb--maybe Kaspy created a new All

What the hell is Drew thinking

Allar is clueless. He is like a deer in headlights.

 

[LandoComando]

Drew sucks tonight. He needs to sit a series

Drew is fine--you can't rotate QBs in this type of weather
Drew needs to be on the field for every snap--we're killing the offense with the dumb "let's play Beau" nonsense
And by on the field--not lined up as a WR

 

[PurposePitch]

I was waiting for the turd monster or bad hands to foul it up.

How often do you see the turd monster?

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

we are a 2nd half game. A tie at the half would be good. No one makes better half time adjustments

No it wouldn’t

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

That's absolutely Allar's fault - you can't sit there and do nothing but spin in a circle. Pro's are going to hate that film - really poor decision making there.... no decision IS A DECISION, a really poor one... one of the worst of the various decisions he could have made there.

 

[LandoComando]

Arizona State killing BYU
Colorado losing to Kansas by 10
Texas-Kentucky 7-7

 

[fastlax16]

Doesn’t mean he should be a statue

I'd be curious to see Drews numbers on the play following a Beau play.

 

[slykens]

Looks like we’re back to sleepwalking through the first half.

Defense couldn’t tackle a dummy and offense is dull.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

wtf is wrong with our run D? Minnesota is one of the worst running teams in the country.

 

[fastlax16]

jesus christ that was a massive hold

 

[GregInPitt]

we are a 2nd half game. A tie at the half would be good. No one makes better half time adjustments

I don't believe it would be good. It would keep PSU in the game. But one of these times that PSU plays soft in the first half against a less talented team will likely result in a loss. Can't risk a turnover in the 4th quarter leading to a close loss.

 

[lazydave841]

Okay I didn't like that sack by Allar

Rucci helped Sal on a double team when he should have seen the blitzer. Allar needed to get it away though.

 

[j-buff]

Minnesota is ranked 121 in rushing this is a joke

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Worth noting that Minnesota is 5-0 this season when rushing for 100 yards. They're at 77 yards after Darius Taylor's latest run.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Big time hold that sprung that play at the hole - no flag.

 

[PurposePitch]

Minny RB is impressive ... he gets to top speed quickly.
