It’s always a good tim3 for neil

Love the crowd continuing to sing into the play. Another failure.

 

[SLion]

Spitting is Franklin's nervous tick..

[PSUcup1]

Dear lord. Throw it away. Don’t take a sack

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

Keep the clock running. Try to win it in OT, I guess.

 

[GregInPitt]

Why would Clifford think scramble when he has another look down the field or could throw it away................

Can't just throw downs away.

 

[wolve1972]

Jesus, throw the ball

 

[AtlantaLion]

Speed up the tempo boys...

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Franklin's half baked time management is rearing its ugly head again.

 

[PSUcup1]

Cain is just not good right now

 

[ftlpsu]

Yeah JF isn’t a close game HC…he is a rah rah guy definitely not a chess player on the field.

 

[AvgUser]

Why call any play that would involve Clifford even faking a run let alone run toward a hole and take a dive for a loss?

 

[fastlax16]

If I’m Bert I’m calling to

 

[paws1957]

Here we are going to see the great clock management of our coaching staff

 

[SUPERTODD]

Lord. Dear in the Headlights James is back.

 

[bdgan]

What did they expect to gain running Cain between the tackles on 2nd and 12?

 

[PennState_one]

Get out of here with any point win and work on next week please

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Looks like we were almost playing for the tie, which is a big mistake.

The team with the better run game has the advantage in OT.

This is looking like a loss.

 

[PAgeologist]

Cain is just not good right now

Yep. Freshman Cain runs through both of those guys with a full head of steam. Neither of them had him squared up.

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

Illinois has already had a handful of 20+ yard runs. Get a few here and they're in field goal territory.

 

[fastlax16]

Ugh

 

[psu00]

I mean, we've seen this before, and presumably so have they. 2018 and 2017 MSU were this bad.

It seems every year there’s 1 loss to a team they should never lose to.

 

[PennState_one]

Illinois will make the playoffs!!!

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

Damn, if Luketa didn't bite there he could have gotten a safety.

 

[PSUcup1]

How dumb was that call by Illinois

 

[SUPERTODD]

Who is 78 for us? What a classless dick.

 

[aquapong]

What the hell are they doing wasting 3 minutes like they were just playing for OT?

 

[AtlantaLion]

Illinois will make the playoffs!!!

Thank you, I needed the laugh.

 

[zubrus1]

Glad we wasted that timeout…

 

[GregInPitt]

Luketa is past the center top his right when the QB scrambles to his side, the QB's right. DL is not disciplined.

 

[NCLION]

That last offensive series lost the game
and effectively ends Franklins rep as a desirable coach

 

[#1 Nittany in VA]

Piss poor coaching, 2nd and 4, stack the box

 

[scrivener]

We need a team with Bielema's style and our roster. PSU has the mentality of soft wannabes annually

 

[BW Lion]

PSU is making this eventual loss more painful than necessary.

 

[paws1957]

Here come a field goal try soon

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

Beware the DPI. That's about the only way Sitkowski could beat us on this play.

 

[fastlax16]

Christ

 

[CoolBean]

Holy shit, Penn State Defense sucks

 

[GregInPitt]

IF we get to OT, I don't see how this can end well......

 

[NCLION]

Can we forfeit during OT coin toss
spare us pain of loss
