You don't think tomorrow benefits from an 11-2 season winning an Orange Bowl when it comes to things like recruiting, program momentum, etc? I don't feel the extra reps in games for Drew trumps all of that...he'll get those reps in mop-up time and in our early games next season.

JFC. Air-mails two consecutive bombs to no one. 
At this point, I’d be happy to see ANYONE else come in an take snaps. That Chad Powers guy still around…?

I think 10 wins is important for recruiting and the bowl. That said, I don’t know that playing Allar now hurts much.
Not nearly as much as preparing a new QB to lead the team for the next two seasons.
Can anybody tackle Tuttle on 3rd down scrambles?
I wonder what his completion percentage is on throws over 20 yards. Probably 25%
2 inaccurate passes in a row . . . missed the receivers like 5 or 7 yards
On a slide, the ball is to be spotted where the sliding motion began. It was close to being before the line to gain.
I’m no football coach, but shouldn’t someone be spying the QB?
It is AMAZING that you can watch this mediocrity and continue to insist that Allar/Veillieux are even worse.
What are you talking about? He should be the starter next year. If he doesn’t get snaps this year, his mop-up snaps come in the BW game. Remember this when some of his only meaningful snaps come against West Virginia next year in the opener.
It's that f'in Franklin emphasis on explosive plays. There was no need to throw either of those balls with the wind at our backs.
I still think we’re only playing with 10 fellows on defense somebody should count them
If you can’t beat Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers and a bad MSU team with AllR or Vellieux, then there are bigger problems to worry about

Uncle Rico is ready.
Getting blue chip recruits playing time is probably also good for recruiting. Not an easy balancing act for Franklin, but probably an necessary one.
Not at the expense of 2023. A NYD bowl is meaningless compared to the main goal of winning the B1G and playing in the CFP.
Recruiting isn’t the issue. It’s the player development. Start fixing that with Allar.
How Franklin can defend keeping Clifford in at this first half performance is beyond me. It's very clear JF is loyal to a fault with with players. PSU won't win the big games or national championship with JF. He can't make the hard decision.
Yup and 7 points to show for it. No worries though Clifford will throw another pick to change that..
They’re just… not going to let these other guys play. They are going to hang themselves with Clifford and then go into the press conference and lie about how he gives us the best chance to win.
I mean, seriously— what do you need to see from him before you finally give someone else a chance? He overthrows passes by 5 yards. Throws into double coverage and gets picked. Can’t consistently move the offense. Constantly needs receivers to make insane catches to bail him out.
I can’t believe some of you buy into this crap about how “he’s the best we’ve got!” Imagine being Drew Allar and constantly hearing that Clifford is better than you while he continues to go out there and fail.
Great play by Carter, btw.

So if a NY6 bowl is meaningless then I guess it really does not matter if record is 10-2 or 6-6 since the main goal is already gone?
I can go either way; we have problems a new QB isn’t going to fix.
Not possible with the assembled staff. Franklin surrounds himself with friends.
Indy’s punter reminds me of guy at the gym with no muscles who thinks he’s the guy at the gym with muscles.
