Official PSU - Kent State game thread

[Marshall2323]

It's important to criticize Franklin when PSU wins. The BWICAC understands that game reps are important for the big moments in the season when PSU loses.

I also saw that Franklin has a young male assistant hold his reading glasses. During the 4th quarter he beckoned the young lad and requested his spectacles so that he could "see".

Apparently there are no glasses that will help Frankin see the game as clearly as some do here.

7 more years!

Go state beat Kent!

 

[Wow]

That sound you hear is thousands of on-line betters clicking their bets to the under for the game at their bookie's site....

Stupid.

 

[Wow]

Also Florida, please for the love of God, hire Franklin.

Don't be stupid

9/10/1983: 14-3, Cincinnati over PSU, at Beaver Stadium

The 1983 season was a frustrating one. It's started in the Kickoff Classic, where Nebraska beat PSU 44-6. Cincy was the next game. Then PSU hosted Iowa, and lost to them 42-34. So PSU started off the season 0-3. They then defeated Temple, Rutgers, Alabama (ranked #3), Syracuse, and West Virginia (ranked #4). They then went up to Boston College, and lost 27-17. PSU then defeated Brown, and then Notre Dame. And then the ultimate frustration game, 24-24 tie @ Pitt. PSU ended the season in the Aloha Bowl, where they defeated Washington, 13-10.

Thank you much for the history Thomas,
Thomas

You used to come up with some comical shìt man. Now it's lame as fluck.

Great pics of this and those that follow.
Thank you.

I know we’ve all been celebrating a big win with lattes all around. However, before we award Allar the Heisman and Franklin a NATTY. , please take this opportunity to remember that kent state is dog crap.

SUNDAY COLUMN: Nittany Lions stars 'Great' on day when 'Good Enough' would have more than sufficed.

Sunday Column: Studs Sharp as Lions Hand Hapless Opponent Expected Blowout

Dispatches from Beaver Stadium following the Kent State game, aka the Liam Clifford Breakout Party … First off all, it should be noted once again that the Nittany Lions are both at fault and not at fault for the level of opponent. College football schedules, for reasons known only to Mark Emmert...

So, maybe this has been covered earlier in the discussion yesterday. Sorry if I missed it, but I noticed Vega playing C. Is this just Trautwein playing around with options vs an inferior opponent or is this a more permanent move?

 

[Midnighter]

Hope we get Reynolds on the field more - he’s a freak.

 

[BobPSU92]

How far does PSU fall in the polls after this impressive win?

Everyone is aware of that, however we have played a lot of dog crap teams over the years and how many of them did we gain 718 yards of offense against? Zero….so there’s that.

Our bigger problem is usc s loss

True, but I’m trying to control my emotions and stay negative.

Final Score

Penn State 56
Last week Tennesse 71

First loss of the season for the Nittany Lions.

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

PSU breaks their record for the most yards in a game with Martin's run.

They have 717 total yards. The former record was 711 yards.

409 yds passing on the record setting day. Fitting.

98 years ago against Susquehanna, all 711 yards would have been by running.

 

[manatree]

98 years ago against Susquehanna, all 711 yards would have been by running.

I think that game might still hold the record for the most points scored. 82-0.

NOPE. Beat Lebanon Valley 109-7 in 1920.

 

[manatree]

Someone needs to tell FOX that there are no highlights at Penn State.

Our boys got the runs a lot in those days.

True, but I’m trying to control my emotions and stay negative.

With good reason. PSU beat Cincinatti 81-0 in 1991 but came out flat and lost the following week.
