I'm setting this up in advance.

Please use this thread to discuss all college football games except the PSU game which take place on Nov. 19.

Illinois had only seven plays the entire first quarter. Not a good game plan for your defense to stay fresh in the later stages of the game.

I watched every Ohio St game the past 3 years on Sunday morning while sipping on my coffee. Mostly in our house in State College after home games. No B1G team reminds me of them. They execute on a completely different level, talent is one thing. They seem to want perfection on every snap and work harder to achieve it. As graduate and season tickets holder of PS, I’m envious of the Buckeyes. #TrueFacts

Illinois pulled a Franklin on a fourth and 1 near the goal line by jumping offside. Settled for a FG and now trail the Skunkbears 7 - 3.

A man has to set goals in life, doesn't mean it might be a popular goal though.
And what goal might that be, that might be considered unpopular? Scads of posters here want Franklin gone, it’s not an unpopular take on this board, it might actually be the view of the majority. But “only Penn State players make dumb plays in critical situations, so let’s blame Franklin” is a totally moronic take. As the guy said, quit.

This day so far has "one of those vibes", with a number of surprising scores at halftime and some of the favorites looking ordinary. Mostly cold weather games, but still. Makes me a little more 'nervous' over our game than I otherwise would be.

No jinx!

Texas A & M running away from 1-9 UMass...13-3 in the 3rd quarter.

It won't happen, but can you imagine the total meltdown if Mass some how beat them? It would be completely epic! Here's hoping!!

On the replay after the field goal it showed the Michigan linebacker suddenly shouting a call where the d line shifted suddenly causing the false start. Good coaching or simulating the snap count? You be the judge how it would have been called if it were AGAINST Michigan.

The Duke-Pitt game is as bad an atmosphere as I've ever seen. I think part of it is the broadcast. But there is absolutely zero energy in that game. Just a terrible look.

Sparty is going to be a handful next week. They are looking very solid on both sides of the ball. It's going to be a full 4 qtrs with them. Their kickoff coverage team is keeping Indiana in it today.

Might the skunkbears be peeking at next week’s game?

Of course the B10 ain’t gonna let Illinois win this game. Look for the zebras to get involved.
Yeah, it isn't JUST the B1G, but protecting the conference's chances at a playoff spot is evidently much more important across college football than teams actually earning playoff spots. For example, I have never had anything negative against TCU, but they got a gift pass interference when the throw was 5 yards out of bounds in the first half on a third down in the red zone. Across the board, it is so annoying and fake... :rolleyes::confused::mad:

make Michigan earn it...make TCU earn it, etc.

Every game is different. But I've been underwhelmed by Sparty when I've seen them. If we play like we have been since the Michigan game, I'd be surprised if it's a 4 quarter game.

At least the million pigeons flying in front of the camera all day have a lot of energy.
