Official PSU - Arkansas Outback Bowl game thread

[Nohow]

SC must be hurt.

 

[LookSharp]

He's got accuracy issues because of his OL.

I get some of the gripe against SC. Perhaps not the vitriol though.

How about furnishing a better OL for this guy? Otherwise, y'all are gonna be bitching out Drew Allar or Pribula down the road.

Can we b_tch about both or is it disallowed.

 

[Omar81]

You hope/believe this is a different game if we have all our players. That said, it's same ol', same ol':

- Constantly in 3rd and long.
- Give up big 3rd downs on D.
- Poor tackling.
- Under/overthrown balls from Cliff.
- Can't stop the run.
- Can't run.

Franklin hasn't really boned up any game/clock management calls though, so.....we're improving!

With regard to your last point, we had to burn at least one timeout due to play clock nearly expiring; a delay of game penLty because the play clock did expire; an illegal substitution penalty because Luketa failed to get off the field on time; a mishandled snap as the play clock was expiring; and multiple disorganized mess offensive plays as the play clock was expiring. Maybe not strict “clock management” issues, but close enough.

Cain just wiffed on blocking the blitzer and CV gets sacked

 

[Omar81]

Oh, and another wasted timeout as were “running out the clock” — on OURSELVES!

 

[Nohow]

Again, Lee should be in.

 

[JoeBot409]

Watching my team lose like your boy Kenny Keychain did the other night.

Explain the keychain part? What are you referencing?

Yeah, some issues but I was chalking most of that up to personnel having to adjust. Normally I would put the disastrous fake punt in the 'WTF?' category but I also believe these games are meaningless, so why not....?

 

[tailgator]

At least we had fun riding roller coasters.

 

[Omar81]

Quick, somebody sign Sandy to a lifetime contract. That’s how we reward mediocrity at Penn State.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Now let the b-tching about the backup commence.

 

[Corner Room Breakfast]

So far, we have not burned our 2 possible RS LBs either.

They will sit out the bowl game two years from now anyway, loyal team mates are a rarity at PSU.

Also, I'm thinking Franklin is our Kirk Ferentz. He's gonna collect a fat check and make a solid run every few years. Franklin recruits better, but results aren't much better.

Give him time

 

[Midnighter]

When you burn the boats make sure you're off of them first....

 

[Corner Room Breakfast]

SC has got to be injured.

Heat

 

[AtlantaLion]

At least we had fun riding roller coasters.

And feeding giraffes.

 

[HarrisburgDave]

Noah Cain is the best I have seen him all year

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

John Daly... SMH

 

[TheGlovStillRules]

Clifford couldn't lead water down hill!

So where is that idiot at who challenged all the Clifford nay-sayers at?

What rock you hiding under?

 

[psu31trap]

This Arkansas team almost beat Alabama. They beat Texas A&M and lost to a solid Mississippi team by a point. Not too many if any of their players opted out. It’s time to look ahead and focus on 2022.

 

[Nohow]

A low bar.

 

[arr2]

It's obvious, Franklin doesn't know football.

 

[PSUForever]

Don't follow golf is that Daly currently good.

No

 

[psuno1]

Going to be A LOOONG 10 Years.

 

[shak_psu66]

John Daly... SMH

Imagine thinking you’re a top 10 program and SC is your QB for 4 straight years.

 

[yboby]

Clifford will struggle again next season if the OL and blocking schemes do not improve.

 

[Pocono Lion]

There is no It factor with this team. Where are the leaders. No fire in the eyes. It’s like the coaching staff is just ok with getting 5-6 players into the NFL every year and damn everything else. Elite teams don’t rely on gimmicks, big plays only etc. Look at Georgia and Alabama...fundamentally sound. Penn State is not. We are at the present moment a second tier program.

Second tier is being generous.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

They will sit out the bowl game two years from now anyway, loyal team mates are a rarity at PSU.

I think we should have burned them already, but this was our first opt outs, no?

 

[Nits74]

Well, maybe that is the goal these days.

Ok, I’ll look ahead to 2022: Clifford will start, play poorly, Franklin will make more excuses…and we’ll go 7-5.

 

[AtlantaLion]

Sounds 'elite' to me.

 

[The real m.knox]

Noah Cain is the best I have seen him all year

Other than some poor pass blocking, he's been faster and more decisive than he has the entire year.

 

[tailgator]

Best tackle all day on our own player.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

appears Jaylen Reed got injured on the play. He knocked the QB OOB, but his own player hit him just after that. smh

 

[SurgeOne]

It's obvious, Franklin doesn't know football.

Why can we not stop the QB runs? Is that tactically hard to figure out?

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

And feeding giraffes.

I loved that

 

[psuno1]

Dumpster FIRE in 2022

 

[91Joe95]

Nobody even tries to wrap up. What kind of tackling are they teaching? This isn't a lack of practice time issue.

 

[tailgator]

Other than some poor pass blocking, he's been faster and more decisive than he has the entire year.

Other than the shooting, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln ?

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Coaches suck, coaching sucks, players uninspired. For fvcks sake, why did they even make the trip
