Official '24 PSU - Maryland game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I believe his last statement answered that. Point differential in the age of 12 team playoffs and trying to get the highest seed possible.
With the transfer portal, I think you have to let the 2nd teamers play, not just run out the clock.
Good point. I’ve heard this before but was too dense to think about it today.
speaking of the transfer portal, I find it kind of funny that there are a bunch of Ohio St mercenary players who were just brought in mere months ago and still feel the need to violently defend the tOSU logo on "their" field
The announcers knew that Maryland didn't have much of a chance. The longer Maryland stayed in the game, the easier their job will be. I don't blame them for talking it up at that point.
Differenece was MD. Franklin has a deep grudge against MD for not honoring their commitment to make him head coach when Friedgen retired. Not sure what the deal is with Locksley unless he was somehow connected with that move (they were both MD assistants at that time).
Very odd. Wonder if they thought the lateral in the first half was actually a forward pass.
I don’t think they got along very well then and I have heard that Locksley badmouths Franklin on the recruiting trail. Obviously, Franklin has caught wind of that.
I think James is losing his patience as he gets older. Remember when he yelled at some kid who was trash talking him after the OSU loss? In this case he's hearing it from Locksley and he's not about to let it go.

Maryland coach Mike Locksley took issue with Penn State throwing a touchdown pass on the final play of Saturday's 44-7 PSU win and let his counterpart James Franklin know about it.

So did I. He can be a nice guy, but sometimes you have to get tough- nice to see that side of him.
IDK, kind of maybe? But honestly doubt those 4 seconds are going to be the tipping point of should I stay or should I go. (apologies to The Clash).
I think its more for the idiot media that only look at scores (looking at you Booger) and those that made "style Points a thing) Looking at well all of them.
Also and this may be the biggest part. Franklin doesn't like Locksley and Locksley's mouth was writing checks he couldn't cash.
Locks has a history and being the season its a long and ponderous one.
Thats probably some of it but I think there's more to it. Locks has a habit of, when he's not stuffing his mouth, shooting it off and making snide comments about Franklin and PSU and then being stupid enough to think there wouldn't be blow back.
