- Start date
They were very prepared for this game.
This was a good, physical win. The first we’be seen in a long while. I hope it’s a sign of more to come.
I’ll give Manny Diaz major props. His defenses are in your face and aggressive. What a difference that makes. Wow.

Let's get rid of the Land Grant Trophy game and play this game every year for the Jenny Dell Trophy
CJF and Cliff are better men than me. If she had interviewed me after the game, I would have been staring at her lungs, and slobbering the way Fonzie and @ILLINOISLION do for Singleton.
I’m going to have a couple drinks to celebrate. Perhaps some Blanton’s.
@Midnighter -- your servers are not pleased with you. During a game like today's win, they would have been racking up tips.
Complimentary PSU football on full display today. Well done!
My player of the game is …Brenton Strange.
His inside blocking was a thing of beauty.

Great overall team win.
- Best overall I've seen the OL play in awhile. Not perfect but good enough to support a strong running game today (thank you G-d-- about time!)
- Singleton is just fantastic. He and Allen may be one of the best RB combos in the country
- Clifford was very good, didn't make any mistakes.
- D pressure on the QB! Best throughout the game I've seen in a long time.
- Bixby got his yards but overall front 7 was pretty effective.
- Props to Strange. He has been really solid - good hands and blocking. TEU (tight end U)!
- Our punter didn't see the field much today. I can't remember more than one punt.
The bronze trophy needs to have huge hooters, even if surgically augmented.
Agreed. I think it's tough to play m2m and downhill then completely go soft and off ball. Our CBs aren't excellent open field tacklers (think Bama) and we don't have a NFL ready Mike (which leaves the middle open more than we like), but we saw some good things out of the defense today.
So that was technically the last B10 team to go to JHS.
From whiffs a year ago to pancakes this year.
I have to say I have to congratulate CJF on this win. I have been critical of his coaching in the past couple of years, but he had his team ready to play in a difficult road environment. No real critically bad coaching decisions. My hat’s off to him.
In a word...impressive. I was not expecting a blowout win like this. Penn State looked poised, capable, physical. Best I can remember them looking in a long time - manhandling a team on the road. Kudos to everyone (coaches and players) for getting it very very right.
And I think Franklin doesn't like to lose to SEC teams.

Washington went in motion on the play. If nobody went with him (nobody did) you know he’s going to be wide open.
The defender who had him went across the field, but stopped beside the farthest defender. The announcers seem to think he called for a switch that wasn't heard. If the play wasn't designed for Clifford to throw to Washington, Clifford saw a defender chasing him and went to his reads on the play side.
Vey-er. How did they pronouce it I was busy with the brisket?

Sadly got OBE and didn’t even get to see most of the game. Will be ready for sure next week - staff is on notice!
As I said a couple weeks ago, so glad Fonzie isn't Napping on Nick!!!
For road games, I'd agree. The 2017 beatdown of Michigan at Beaver Stadium was also nice.
