And not very smart, but of course the players and coaches never care as much as our super fans who give up after the first bad play.

Agree. They cared until the game ended. They were fighting on the final drive.
..and the one they converted was on a penalty on Ohio State.
I am just absolutely perplexed how someone can head on organization as massive as Penn State football and still make mistakes like that. I’ve said that sooo many times. I don’t pretend for a second I could do well, most of the things JF does, but yet I would never bone such a fundamentally simple decision.
Agree. McCord is in this third year. He couldn’t beat out Stroud and he struggled to start this year.
Yo, you’re not a football coach, you dont have to be in the profession to call out BS. Are you an actor? Do you have an opinion on JAWS 6? What you’re seeing is obvious to all, even the rick, retired construction
They didn't play until that last drive. I should have been suspicious when the BWI guys hyped Cephas when he transferred. Like he was going to be the next Dotson.
Thought it was revealing that pregame the sideline reporter noted that when McCord (from Philly) was being recruited by PSU and attended the PSU-OSU game he came away impressed with the OSU offensive system.
Joe recruited way worse his last decade too. Averaged about 32 nationally. So, way outperformed the talent he had.
That’s not what I’m saying. I think they should play a little more during the game. I thought they got open and made catches. Penn State was still trying to win.
Honestly bro, it really doesn’t matter in the least How we respondHow we respond to this may define us.
No doubt Allar played terrible today, although not all of it should be put at his feet. In spite of his performance Allar is still a stud. We lost to a top 5 team on the road while having our worst offensive output in over two years or longer. Our head coach has to be smarter in that situation.
Yeah it’s not good. He was truly bad but MY’s play calling didn’t help. Too many times he put him in 3rd and long. It’s his job to put the kid in position to succeed not fail.
Any chance an SEC team is dumb/desperate enough to throw a ton of cash at Franklin like LSU did with ‘accomplished nothing’ Kelly? A&M maybe?
Not correct Cephas was in at least for one play in the 3rd quarter and he and one of the TEs were within 5 yards of each other.
It maybe to early to say this but I believe that this team still has the talent to run the rest of our schedule. Our defense is one of the top 3 in all of college football and we have Michigan at home. It's time to get our running game involved and help our young 5 star quarterback out. I felt like that was going to be the plan all year and am very disappointed that it hasn't been.
Let’s hope. Sometimes there is no better lesson than a hard lesson. We shall see
Yep, the reverse flea-flicker that had zero chance of working.
Cephas didn’t play much. Neither did Saunders. Give them more of a chance?
Franklin is a combined 4-16 vs OSU/UM.
At what point is this no longer acceptable?

Is this your first year as a PSU fan under Franklin?
You think he's getting it done vs a Michigan team whose defense might be even better than OSU's and an offense that won't be afraid to ground and pound us like they did last year? I'd put over/under on dumb decisions in that game at 4 1/2 and that might be conservative.
GO STATE BEAT INDIANA is all that matters. You know this
Exactly, we still may not win that game but it tells your team your still in and keep fighting. It was a massive tactical error.
I didn’t even comment on whether those people were right or wrong. I just said it’s wrong to say Penn State fans were all just pleased as punch during his last decade.
I know I'm beating a dead horse but somebody in the media needs to put CJF on the spot and make him understand that when the chips are on the line you trust the guys that got you there (Defense) and not the guys who didn't (Offense). He needs to stop stealing our opportunities to win with his poor decisions in the important moments.
He needs to be publicly held accountable for once again going for it on 4th down instead of trusting our Defense and making OSU go the length of the field. It's a losing thought process that has happened before and it needs to stop.

With this cheating scandal going on, maybe you catch them distracted. Otherwise they’ll be out for blood against everyone.Is this your first year as a PSU fan under Franklin?
I’m saying that back ups wouldn’t change the outcome ….cause they’re backups
