It was that painful. I mean just watching it. The loss was anti-climactic. We were all numb.
Official PSU - Illinois game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
would the game have been worse with Roberson? You know he's coming out in the Shoe. OSU will pummel SC hard early and we will see QB2 with deer in headlights.
Hard not to place this game at the top of worst games in program history. Woeful offense vs. a defense not ranked in the top 100. Ranked #102 allowing 427.9 yards per fame. We got 1/2 of that. And 1/7 on OT plays.
How many times did they get Dotson, the best player on the team, involved during OT?
This forum made fun of Nebraska when they lost to Illinois, what say you
Paging Iowa fans ....it is deserved

It was weird....One could predict the outcome midway through Q3, but not the painful process.
In good conscience....if you're Sandy....do you not fire him now? It's not so much the loss, it's the unpreparedness coupled with the decision making.
There are times when Executives need to make difficult decisions....this is one of those times. Sandra could actually look competent if she pulls the trigger.
Next week could be a loss of epic proportions. Maybe 75-0. I see no point in playing a hurt SC. Season is over folks. May not be another win between bad coaching combined with injuries.
Not surprising when you are absolutely incapable of running the ball.
That’s pretty much next weeks game thread right there.
They'll march SC out until he can't walk. They have nothing else.
I've been hesitant to post this, but with each game I watch, it has become apparent that Franklin is as one dimensional as how his teams play. He is an awesome recruiter. But he just has difficulty putting a diverse, consistent product on the field. For one thing, he is having difficulty finding a good OL coach. It also seems his teams lack good, solid fundamentals.....poor blocking, poor tackling, mental mistakes, bad decisions etc etc. All these reflect coaching.
This was worse. 2000 team was not good at 5-7. Illinois won throwing for 30 yards iirc. And losing turnovers 3-0.
That was my takeaway. Lack of running attack on offense and incapable of stopping the run on defense
Only Franklin could lose a Homecoming game vs. a 2-5 team. He's special.
Correction, my friend. Penn State is a team full of good athletes. But they are not a good team. There is a difference.
Woeful offense vs. a defense not ranked in the top 100. Ranked #102 allowing 427.9 yards per fame. We got 1/2 of that. And 1/7 on OT plays. Playing at home, not bothered by crowd noise. That's how you lose.
Agree. 2 weeks to prepare Robison and have a mobile QB. Clifford looked like Roethlisberger back there.
Don't be so critical. We did succeed once. 1/7 is not bad vs a #102 ranked defense.
So they try it 3 or 4 times in OT when an INT means nothing when going for 2. Unbelievable
For everything Franklin preaches about 1-0 each week. They way they respond to the first loss resembles a team whose only goal is 13-0. The amount of wind that leaves their sails after loss one is staggering and at this point predictable. My Saturdays have opened up.
Ilinois 67 carries for 357 yards.
PSU 29 carries for 62 yards.
Talk about getting handled on the LOS.
Everybody gets upset once in awhile but has Penn St ever lost when the the other team threw for 38 yards?
Hand it off to 21 again! It'll work this time! Dotson has to be pissed!!!
That is pure domination. Bielema lit a fire under those guys with his comments.
