Yep, it's on Franklin that the #9 duel threat QB coming out of H.S. can't hit the broad side of a barn when he finally gets his chance. After 3 years of practice and this past year being developed as the obvious backup.
As far as I remember Roberson has been brought in at an appropriate time this year. Some guys just don’t have it when their number is called
Inbread scum. My wife won't ever agree to go to Iowa City ever again.
Without the transfer portal WL is still at PSU and they win the game today. Can't blame Franklin for the portal's existence...
No I’m not. Just an observation for those watching other games. I have no conclusion. It’s painful we couldn’t keep him and when we did we didn’t use his passing skills.
So now he’s supposed to see into the future, know that two years down the road his 2nd string QB would transfer and his starter would get hurt in a top five matchup so he better get his third and fourth string QB’s meaningful snaps. Good lord, you need to find another hobby. Everyone “sees it coming” after the fact.
Yes, it's on Franklin. Yet another example of Franklin not developing the players he recruits...even the marginal ones. Roberson has no business playing for a FCS team..
Perhaps it was not your intention, but you make a fine case for "Jimmys and the Joes"...Occam's Razor suggests that the difference in the game was Clifford vs QB2, not coaching, scheme, motivation, etc...it isn't complicated.
A competent coach not only assumes their starting QB gets injured, they develop worthy replacements in the #2, #3 and #4 slots. That clearly hasn't happened at PSU. It's all on Franklin. No Excuses.
And you have no idea what they’ve done in practice to get Roberson ready, but by all means, don’t let a lack of information sway your argument. I guess he should have gotten half the snaps in every game, then he’d be ready….of course, we would have been 2-3 coming into the game, but our backup would have been better prepared.
I don't dislike anyone for giving their opinion.
And how do they do that? It’s certainly not playing them in meaningful games because that never happens. I seem to recall Clemson losing when Trevor Lawrence got Covid….so I guess Dabo is a bad coach too.
Now I know you are a dope. There probably isn’t a team in the country including Alabama that has “worthy” fourth team
That's some weak trolling. You made me laugh because it was so bad.
lol ok...u are such an apologist for JF and the program. You don't have any more info than I do...what we all had tonight is our eyes watching that debacle. So clearly, as JF says "they need to look at what they are doing." Clearly a 3rd year QB wasn't anywhere near ready to run the offense. Heck, we needed Roberson to complete maybe 2 or 3 intermediate throws at points in the 2nd half and we win easily. What makes it worse is that they had a halftime to figure out some things and condense things or give him some easy reads...if he came in the 2nd half out of the blue...I wouldn't be as critical
OK thank you for the response...with the ongoing banter I was simply going to point out that references to Levis must be compared with Clifford, not Roberson, since the reason Levis transferred was to START, not to be a backup...that's all
ok whatever...they coughed the game away without Cliff...Iowa's offense is hot garbage and it didn't take much more to win this game even without Cliff. Like it or not.
We’re an average team without our three year starting QB….but you could say that about every team in the country minus a couple. That’s college football these days.
Ehh...yes we are and others would be too...but I think its less than we think thanks to the portal. We absolutely needed any warm body with more experience to add to that room and didnt. At the end of the day, not having an OL worth it's salt and inability to run vs ANYONE...isn't sustainable when Cliff has to pass all the time and keep it on runs himself. It's a high risk situation that isn't sustainable.
I know trolling. That's wasn't trolling.
Some leave worse programs knowing they could be a number 2 at a better place...it happens. I'm not trying to convince you of anything b/c that surely won't happen...but a mildly competent performance by Roberson and/or the OL gets the job done. Like all we needed was 'just ok' to beat an Iowa team on the road...instead they were horrendous. I just think at this stage of the program that truly can't happen.
LSU has completely fallen apart this year. Big Ed will be gone probably before the year is over.
Toss sweeps to who?? Our RB’s that run like they’re wearing cement shoes? Which reminds me, did Lovett play today? I don’t remember seeing him. Could’ve helped TR to get the ball to him out in space with a screen or flare concept.
Exactly...and the throws were there, within the context of him running the offense, despite the egregious self-inflicted penalties. QB2 simply was off-target with the passes...Jimmys and the Joes.
Yeah, so Clifford wasn't ready when McSorley left? Levis didn't step in for Clifford when needed? LOL Levis must have performed well enough as a backup that people lament his departure every week. I hate to be pesky purveyor of inconvenient truths and to use your own logic to completely undermine your point, but it is what it is... 🤷♂️
He just scored KY's third TD by bulling his way into the end zone. His running is also a part of the carving.
A one yard run is hardly carving. Wow, go root for Kentucky ya chump
I hate to burst your bubble of ignorance, but here are Clifford's stats during Trace McSorley's senior season at PSU. I rest my case and am asking for a speedy verdict by a jury of objective peers.
And if he and Clifford had both transferred to KY, Clifford would be starting there as well.
Yes, and in Clifford's first year as QB1 he was grossly unprepared due to only getting 7 pass attempts the year before? LOL at those who destroy their own points!
And Kerry Collins’ first year…3 completions on 6 attempts for 95 yards. Joe didn’t properly prepare him.
