PSU's remaining schedule now gets really interesting.

Seems like Indiana is always a trap game. Maryland will be out for blood—- wonder if they’ll shake hands… classless tools.

It’s going to tough to stay interested in those games with Cliff at QB. Will probably watch better games and check the scores periodically. If Allar starts, I’m in for all four.

Honestly, Franklin has lost his teams the last few seasons after big losses…he has to prove that he can avoid another meltdown and get this team to 10-2 as they should be (based on talent).
Read Tig Brown's post game comment, "this game hurts alot more than the previous loss". Hopefully they mentally recover and finish 4-0. That is going to be up to the coaching staff and captains once again.

We should be able to beat all four of these teams. That will add 4 more wins to Clifford’s career totals!

11/5: @ Indiana
11/12: Maryland
11/17: @ Rutgers
11/24: Michigan State

If prior years are a guide, I can easily see 1-3 or 2-2 at best.
None of these teams are as good as Minnesota and we pounded Minnesota.

It blows my mind that an average-to-below QB like Clifford is going to leave holding many school career passing records. That’s based on being a 4-year starter, but it will still be his name up there.

He’s going to start all 4 games and cement those career leader stats! No one will ever be able (or willing) to stay long enough to to do better! Unless we have a Black Plague like medical exemption that goes plus 5 years!

I’m giving up and just going to ride the Clifford Train!

Then start following another team. This board needs fewer quitters. Please be the first.
No one here plays. Don’t confuse support with reality.

What have you seen that convinced you we will win out? Should they? Yes. Could they? Yes. But based upon past experience, will they? Doubtful. Good for at least one more loss. Any of remaining 4 could beat PSU. With 2 at home, we should get at least one win for sure.

I believe 10-2 is certainly possible, but if I throw in the $75 million wild card factor, the last 4 games might be a 2-2 record for a typical late season, coming off an emotional loss situation.

MSU is Thanksgiving weekend - the students are on break so it's not going to be a great home field advantage. It'll be a tough game for PSU (as it normally is with MSU).

OMG. Find some faith, man. This team is pretty darn good and will win out And have a nice bowl game. What they lacked yesterday was what Ohio State had: better and bigger linemen on both sides of the ball. When the fourth quarter arrived, OSU’s d-line took over. We need bigger stronger guys who can shed blocks and get to the opposing QB. One sack from a cornerback isn’t going to do it. I’ll bet you one apologetic post if we don’t finish 10-2.

MSU may be missing players after last nights brawl. The videos are pretty ugly. Maryland gives me more concern than the others they seem to be on a upward track

You are on.

A bet I am happy to lose!

Yes, I have lost faith. This team is mediocre primarily because the coach seems to accept it or have 1000 excuses.

And the results speak for themselves - pure mediocrity.

For Christ’s sake, Michigan State sucks.

But will we beat them? TBD.

4-0 & 10-2

Let's not let 2 losses to 2 Top 5 teams fool us into thinking we're not superior programs to the remaining 4 teams. We will win out and go to a NY6 game against a quality SEC opponent.

I wouldn't say the team is mediocre. The results are disappointing for the money spent on it. Under Franklin, it will seldom, if ever, challenge for championships. Assuming PSU wins out, what we're seeing is the ceiling.

Really, this is the only impressive win of the season, but even they were playing with their back-up QB. Auburn at the time gave us much hope, but they are in a very down year by their standard.

OK, the bet is on. I don't know why you have lost faith. The coach and coaches do not accept mediocrity. The players are developing and I think you can honestly say that were it not for the incredible receiver Harrison and the unbelievable playoff #44, we would have won that game. So, it's not like it was a blowout; it was our luck of a few key disruptive people. Parker Washington played a great game but we still need that burner who can cash in on long balls. On the defensive line, you know we need to make people bigger somehow and still keep them athletic. That is what OSU has that we don't. Singleton's speed needs to be brought to the forefront. He' a burner and they're trying little flare passes, but what has happened to those long runs. I know he can't do that all the time, but I am very tired of seeing him plow into the line and get 2-4 yards, sometimes a few more. Allen is the better back right now. If Singleton could run like Allen, holy **** would we have a tandem.
So, this is not pure mediocrity as you state. It's a few pieces missing here and there. Why we can't get the same type of kids OSU gets is a mystery unless the OSU kids are taken with poorer grades and the lure of NIL money, which I abhor but am going to have to get used to.
Hang in there, MacNit, but find a way to get your faith back. Maybe you losing the bet to me will help.:)

So, just curious as to why your "handle" is psupride and a year attached if that's all the pride you can muster? We'll win the last four games; may as well enjoy them. Clifford will start and I hope Allar plays, but he ain't gonna start.
