Good to see that he's doing well...

This team is soft, mentally and physically. Put in the backups and see who really wants to play.
Levis
13 of 16 for 105 yards and 45 yards rushing.
Are those the most worthless stats you have ever seen?

Agreed. He needs to go. It is hard enough to watch this team. We shouldn’t be further embarrassed by racist posts by fans on this message board.

NW is leading Wisconsin at the half 14-7. I think I'll watch the second half of that one. Alvarez is probably mad that he may not get his annual west division walkover. "Delany promised me!!!"
When the coach is checked out, the players will soon follow. It would be nice if Franklin would show any kind of fire on the sidelines when the camera cuts to him. At this point, the only thing he's missing is the fiddle.
The only thing more pathetic than the execution ON the field is the play calling and the strategic decisions being made BESIDE the field.
Going from targeting eliteness to not being very good to not being good to not being average to being the only winless team in the Big 2(12) to being the “Kansas of the East”.

Don’t see thy happening today. These kids have no heart.
I think James needs to go quarantine with his family in Florida
If you don't block and you don't shed blocks, you lose. When it happens 5 weeks in a row, you stink. Actually there is not enough stink in stink so I don't know what to call it.

Tom talk me off ledge ... What is your thoughts on this coaching staff and players effort at this point?
I hope he at least feels a little guilt in taking $6m for this. He’s just straight up mailing it in at this point
As this turned out, weather is kind of crappy here so I decided to watch the first half instead of raking and hanging Christmas lights. This is just a flat out crappy team. Coaches, players, COVID, whatever. They just flat out stink. From every angle possible.
Wife is a Miami Hurricane. I have watched them for a number of years now. This PSU team looks just like those Hurricane teams post early 2000 domination. The problem there was no QB development, overrated talent, and key players who decided that they didn't want to play for the coach anymore, so they stuck as a team. This PSU team has all three signs. Only way to pull out of it is to hit on a legit QB or bring in a new coach who people want to play for.
But the RPO is all about CHUNK PLAYS, and we have ZERO. But we do abstain from QB under center to allow for easier 3rd and 4th down conversions.
1st Half points through 5 games.

Embarrassing. Call a CoVid outbreak.

They are calling them out. Brandon Noble this week called this team soft.
Matt Mullen is one whiskey shot away from going
Scorched earth about the lack of toughness.
What I don’t get is, when Jacobs and Dixon were in the defense looked markedly better and forced a couple of punts. As soon as Smith and Luketa come back Iowa marches right down the field. Where is the accountability in the form of playing time? Just how bad do you have to be to get benched?
You hate to pile on but jeez it’s really really hard to defend Franklin at this point. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see something is very wrong right now.
If you fail to see both of our lines getting out muscled on nearly every play, you aren't looking. Very weak. I don't care about Oweh's 40, nor Saquon's power clean. Our players are physically weaker in the trenches and our entire team speed is the worst it has been since '14.
Franklin out here throwing away 4th downs at midfield like he's at Vegas playing with somebody else's money. It's like he's 0 for 77 on what are essentially 50/50 calls.
No wonder our "young stud" LBs couldn't beat out Brown and Johnson last year. They just aren't that good. Jacobs is an upgrade from Smith (who might be better suited for MLB). Luketa and Brooks take poor angles.
Much like he did with Donovan, Franklin might have to fire Pry. Since they aren't winning the recruiting battles, Smith and Banks may be expendable too. Otherwise, Franklin (who nobody credits as an X and Os guy) is on the end of a bad review. It's hard to believe we are going to go from 11-2 to possibly 0-9, but here we are... about to go 0-5 with not a single game looking favorable here on out.
Levis had a moderately good 1st half, but we've got to turn him loose passing. Portal, wherefore art thou? Thine team is in dire need of a QB.
Very frustrating season. Let's keep watching.

Historically bad football team. I've been saying get Urban Meyer. Why would he want to come here to this grease fire? This is an awful football team.
No doubt. How is Beamon not playing more? Tarburton? Any safety on the roster?
Franklin is 17-8 since his stupid “elite” comments after the tOSU loss.
Lose today and he is 17-9.

One more thing - at least we have UNITY and the UNITY patches on the throw back uniforms and in the stands. Who says sports and politics don't match?
