Official PSU - Rutgers game thread

[Alphalion75]

At least we have found out that Levis is not a starting QB. He might make a good FB. Passing ability is almost nil.

Fullback!!! Now there is a thought.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Franklin really doesn’t look engaged.

Perhaps (hopefully?) he's quietly accepted another position and hasn't yet informed Sandra.

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Sideline reporter on the radio broadcast asks Franklin as he's going off the field, what does PSU need to do for the second half. Franklin's response: "Well, we need to get back to doing what we are supposed to be doing". This man has a career ahead of him as a slick politician....

Halftime and they are up 7-3 on Rutgers. Team and coaches look totally uninterested.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

7-3, PSU, at the half

 

[4rosco]

I don’t care if they know their head coach is leaving or not, where is the personal pride in these players?

Maybe they are all entering the portal and going with him

Would be an interesting TE. He can run.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

I don’t care who your QB is - when Rutgers has twice as much offense as you in the 1st half, the writing should be on the wall for Mr. Rahne.

 

[YeOldeCup]

Rutgers has defeated UMass and Liberty, but this is tied for their second best performance in their losses at the half -- tied at Illinois, down by 4 at home to BC. Pretty lousy company the team is in.

 

[TheBumble]

I'm gonna say it was a bad call for Franklin to let all the guys wake up so early to go hunting this morning. They're lacking energy.

 

[olelion]

Right now, right here in this game they look like a typical K-State team

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

According to the FSU fan site Their job is Franklins if he wants it. Apparently they want to announce a hire early next week.

It is not improbable that the team knows something.

 

[Nittany_93]

Hard to figure. Is it that PSU plays to the level of their opponent? Is it an OSU hangover? Both?

 

[dbsteel]

That is really, really pathetic. But this QB isn't good.

 

[djr4rebs]

At least we have found out that Levis is not a starting QB. He might make a good FB. Passing ability is almost nil.

New Orleans has a package for their backup QB Hill similar to what we ran last year with Tommy. It is usually successful because they either get the ball to him directly or going forward. Payton is a very good play caller as well...

 

[Safety Blitz]

Maybe the legendary Don Brown can come to PSU as the OC next year. His unit was responsible for lots of scoring today.

 

[BGJeff]

Franklin looks totally disengaged. I don't believe he's going anywhere. I wonder if he's under the weather. He has that kind of a look. Like he'd rather be anywhere else.

For those worried about Jimmy F going to FSU or SC .... rest at ease.

What's with the hugs between Brown and Sieder too?

Something's up people. I just know it. Trust your instincts. This feels like 2013 all over again.

 

[psuno1]

FFF....Fvcklin' Franklin Football

They will get better next week.

 

[Sproul]

The fans are embarrassing too....stadium is half full. Pityful.

says the guy watching from home....

 

[fastlax16]

Hard to figure. Is it that PSU plays to the level of their opponent? Is it an OSU hangover? Both?

both, plus a bunch of starters out. Plus a low energy stadium.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Something's up people. I just know it. Trust your instincts. This feels like 2013 all over again.

Something is very weird.

[Storm at Sea]

Something is very weird.

No doubt Franklin is gone guys.

 

[SLion]

Journey looked quite emotional. Team looks flat..something smells.

[tlbakernc]

Ok...did I miss something? Are there any substance to the Franklin to FSU rumors?

Beginning to wonder if the rumors are true. Looks like the team has quite on him. There was a rumor floating around Franklin would accept the FSU job next week.

 

[AWS1022]

i think they mentioned brown lost his grandmother?

Yes they did, but that isn’t as good a story.

 

[Rip_E_2_Joe_PA]

About 40 asses need kicked in the locker room ...

players and coaches alike.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Franklin looks totally disengaged. I don't believe he's going anywhere. I wonder if he's under the weather. He has that kind of a look. Like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Even if so, the lack of energy, enthusiasm, effort on the part of (what seems like) the rest of the team is highly disappointing.

I thought we weren't allowed to post obscene material on this site???

 

[uhlerlion]

What is this offense good at?

Explosive plays apparently

 

[psuro]

so there is a rumor in a message board that Franklin is leaving for FSU and the team is flat.

Rutgers knows it’s coach don’t be there on Monday abc they are playing like this is the NC game?

Ok.

 

[Storm at Sea]

Yes they did, but that isn’t as good a story.

Are you helping Franklin move this week?

 

[fastlax16]

Explosive plays apparently

explosive plays isn’t a philosophy or an identity.

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Explosive plays apparently

Causing uncontrollable swearing and gnashing of teeth?

HALFTIME. ADJUSTMENTS.
