Lions just don't have the resources the Nuts have

[12375CAT]

to recruit with mostly including NIL. Now how do you expect the Lions to recruit with the Nuts with such an NIL thrice as large as you have? With most best players that $ talks. Lions overachieved vs the Nuts. If HCJF enjoyed the same available resources the Nuts already enjoy then he would beat the Nuts even @ the Shoe. Now please don't give me this laundry list of all these things Lions could have done different/better. Nuts fans can point out as many issues if they would have lost the game. Nut fans are as down on HCRD. I read their free board on 24/7. So who else can coach @ Beaver Stadium that can beat the Nuts of the world right now?

Yet, since 2022, OSU has lost 5 games and PSU has lost 6 games, so there isn’t a big discrepancy between total losses in the last three seasons. The problem is that 3 of PSU’s 6 losses have come to OSU.

That's simply not true
Paraphrasing what McAfree said on GameDay "A lot of these Lions are paid well too"
People are underestimating how much money Penn State and other programs are spending. Anything we don't have is Franklin's job to get it.
No excuses
And, sorry, rough loss for K-State--hopefully the get things righted the next couple games before Iowa State and the get another shot at BYU

Different talent level was not the reason for the loss.

Sure it was. We got manhandled at scrimmage on both sides.

There is plenty of truth in you post. Ignore @loadocommodo, he's just a fool who thinks his opinion came down from Mount Sinai on stone tablets. Both Howard and Judkins were instrumental in that game. Both came for the cash and the opportunity to win.

That said, PSU had its opportunities during the game and simply whiffed on them as if it were pre-ordained.

Partly but not completely true IMO. Most of our star players were part of the pre NIL #6 class in the nation. Those players are on par with OSU players.

IMO the difference is that OSU was able to fill more holes through the portal than PSU. Notably Howard, Judkins, and Downs (who spied Warren).

The problem is our #6 class is moving on and the OSU advantage is only going to grow.

Winnable game that the team (coaches included) blew on many fronts. Undisciplined show boating, poor calls on the goals line stands, and poor punting......not NIL or recruiting rankings or player recruiting rankings lost that game.

What about the pick 6 Will Howard threw with 5:40 to go in the FQ????? Imagine how much grief Nuts fans would have heaped on HCRD had you won the game!!!!!
