Official PSU - MSU Game Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Watching OSU and UM today, PSU needs to get a lot better to compete with them.
Porter would have had a PI on that play and first and goal at the 1
Might as well get used to it. The program is going nowhere under this regime.
If I get one freaking email asking for money for these clowns I’m going to lose it. Take it out of their paychecks u til they prove they can actually earn it.
Fundamentals. Discipline. Tenacity. Focus..... may have missed a few but PSU has been lacking in these areas IMHO.
And before the game Franklin even talked about trying to take advantage of that. But when the chips were down, the stuck to the ground game. A couple successful runs then they get tunnel vision.
Looks like the pinstripe. Franklin has come full circle on the bowl circuit. IMO the pinstripe is not worth $85 mil. If I’m Dotson and Brisker I’m skipping the bowl game.
The thing is he was running into a wall and had nowhere to go. You just have to hold onto the ball and go down.
HORRID WOULD BE A COMPLIMENT!
They are a bunch of GIANT, GIANT, GIANT, GIANT, GIANT PUSSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mind losing, it happens. But PSU seems to find ways to lose, and more importantly seems to have regressed through the season. Does anyone believe this team is better than when they played Wisconsin or Auburn?
If there's been improvement in the oline or running game its hard to see.

They probably will, but with that logic they should have not played after Illinoi.
Hey James, we lost the turnover battle and the explosive play battle.
Five straight runs with the game on the line against the worst PD in the country.
And not one jet sweep….or quick toss…..or two backs in the backfield.
Junior high school teams have more creative game plans and play calling than this dumbass staff.

Defensive and offensive lines were awful today. Play calling predictable and included at least 10 throw away downs. Offense manages 14 points against awful pass defense. Defense wasn't ready from the jump, awful special teams. Just a really well all round loss, coaches, players, everyone.
Hmmm. They once were hallmarks of PSU football.
that is somewhat puzzling. MSU seemed to change their coverage, which may have accounted for some of the calls. Plus PSU did have success running, as Lee has several long carries in the 2nd half. It's just that in a few critical plays, (the 4th down where the DT blew up Miranda, and the 3rd & 1 where Lee fumbled), opting for runs over passes does seem questionable, especially after the fact where we know the results of the run attempts.
On the bright side, nobody outside the fan bases of this game will notice how much we sucked. All attention will be given to OSU/UM and Auburn/Alabama. The playoff debate will be good this week.
Where’s Marshall23 and Bvillebaron to get up in your grill?

I like CJF, support him, and pull for the team like hell when I watch the games. Unfortunately, during CJF's tenure, notwithstanding 2016, PSU has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory so many times that I've come to expect it. Another very winnable game that will be a disappointing loss. PSU will finish the season 0-3 vs. tOSU, UM, and MSU. Those teams split with one another. PSU is the odd team out of that group and a middle of the pack Big Ten team. That's the reality.
Part of Penn State's tackling problem is that they always seem to be trying to strip the ball. But, MSU hit our ball carrier right in the gut - much better way to cause a fumble. Just bad fundamentals.
That's my problem, too. Why do we seem to regress every year instead of getting better?
Pitiful play calling in second half. Just pitiful. I understand the conditions, but we can’t run and we choose to run and get stuffed and lose the ball. Worst offense I’ve seen in many years. Boo!
