45 had his head turned 90 degrees by an offensive player grabbing his helmet ffs

 

[Tri-Power65]

Arkansas has figured it out. PSU...not so much

 

[lionpride90]

Wow. Yurcich cannot call a game. And the offense is playing tentatively. Like they are confused. Horrible. And the offense’s lack of any momentum has basically infected the defense.

 

[golfer1922]

Run defense is sad

 

[Psugo823]

That D still playing hard and fast?

Lol. 7-6.

 

[NCLION]

And we gave this guy an extension?

 

[golfer1922]

Not rocket science but , Wow!

 

[GSL]

All Franklin has done is tarnish the legacy of Penn State football.

Wow just a stunning collapse in the third quarter. This is thanks to our horrific offense. A putrid display after halftime.

 

[bdgan]

Keyvoughn Lee looking really good.

I don’t remember him being this fast.

He's a good power RB, just lacks breakaway speed. Hope Singleton brings that next year

I think Clifford is a pretty good QB - well above average. Has a very live arm and can make plays with his legs. He needs to use his head on throws like he missed at end of half - doesn't need a perfect throw when your receiver is that open.... put some air under it and let your receiver adjust to it. Threw that ball too flat and hard.... just needs to use his head there. He definitely needs to work on his consistency in terms of accuracy as well, but overall I somewhat disagree, he has the tools and seasoning to really put it together next year imho.

Happy feet

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

they're missing half the starting defense you morons

 

[manilion]

Big is over rated. If this team was in the ACC they would win 3 games at best. Franklin is not a good coach.

The defense keeps defending the fake handoff and leaving the QB

 

[psu00]

It's almost like we have new players in there

Well, it’s hard to tell because they tackle like the old players. .

People can start the arguments over 1 player or another screwing up because they have no experience but tackling is not in that category.

New or old players- it doesn’t matter. It’s the same poor technique that has been a trademark of Franklin teams for years.

 

[Paguy35]

They need to have someone spy the quarterback.

 

[Tri-Power65]

So goddamned sick of this shit under Franklin.

 

[golfer1922]

Brick wall

 

[BiochemPSU]

Maybe the plan is to get Sean killed so he can’t come back next year.

 

[golfer1922]

Too slow at Qb. That’s never been said before

 

[RGWhirly]

I like Clifford, but for the love of..,.give CV a shot.

 

[wilbury]

We must be watching different games

 

[bdgan]

How many times can PSU players line up wrong and struggle to get a play off?

 

[Paguy35]

That hit on Clifford was no where comparable to Clowneys hit, these announcers are soooo bad...

 

[wilbury]

Clifford drops another pass

 

[Tri-Power65]

We must be watching different games

What the **** game are you watching?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Gotta love the slow option plays to the short side of the field.

 

[SLion]

they're missing half the starting defense you morons

What is O excuse? Missing top WR? So is Ark..

 

[mcruny42]

The D struggles are to be expected with essentially 6 starters out. The fact the O continues to struggle is the frustrating part IMO

 

[bdgan]

And we gave this guy an extension?

Only $85 million though

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

the offense isn't playing a team of backup defenders

 

[Paguy35]

Yea the offense only putting 10 points on the board is frustrating. You are missing half your defensive starters and the emphasis had to be on keeping the defense off of the field.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

And we take shots against their all SEC corner. Coaches are beyond stupid

The middle of the field is where our receivers are running wide open so we’re running fly patterns a yard from the sideline…..dumb dumb dumb.

 

[NCLION]

I feel Franklin gets worse each year.

We have four plays:
deep pass down sideline
run up middle
bubble screen of death
Clifford RPO

 

[ryoder1]

Would be great score here but at this point I question if we can hold them to under 40.

 

[SLion]

the offense isn't playing a team of backup defenders

Not trying to be difficult but D played a hell of first half and missed tons of opportunities. Tide turns and now O is nowhere to be found. As case all year, we can't be putting all on D to hold and win

 

[psu00]

All Franklin has done is tarnish the legacy of Penn State football.

I get the frustration, but that’s a step too far.

Off the field he’s been very good both as a representative of the university and as a recruiter.

It’s on the field where he falls flat, especially recently. He’s a really good recruiter but is lacking as a game day coach IMO.

 

[BiochemPSU]

I understand trying to throw deep outside, but you have no play action with successful outside runs to set that up. Run an option isn’t the answer.

 

[manilion]

they're missing half the starting defense you morons

The defense keeps defending the fake handoff and leaving the QB

What is O excuse? Missing top WR? So is Ark..

Playing against a QB that tries wise than Cifford and we still can’t slow down the run. This Arkansas team is one dimensional and we made no adjustments to stop the run. Pathetic game planning and execution.

 

[NCLION]

Can you pass in middle of field?
asking for a friend

 

[Psugo823]

eff these refs in the ass

Yep. It's all their fault. Lol.
