On that 4th down play. Michigan would have run between the tackles and probably made it. We don’t even bother because the O line is that bad. And that I just can’t wrap my head around.
Football GAME THREAD: No. 6 Michigan at Penn State
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Haven't seen it. But Lovett blew it today. And Lee blew a key block that may cost us next week if SC is injured.
2 downs to get 2 yards. Run the damn ball.
Hard to have a running game when you don't even try to use it. Lee can get you 2 yards in 2 downs.
PS Please take the points when you can.

Lovett was god awful today. I don’t understand his playing time
Yep. He ain't going anywhere. We are stuck with him and the continual losing of key games. I think with his best effort we are 10-2 any given season. Not sure we will beat O$U over the next 40 years.
He had one good run - the one where they lined up 4 on one side and he ran around the opposite edge - but otherwise sucked a$$
This program is not in a good place. People can point to the recruiting class for some sign of a bright future…because that’s all PSU has right now…pure hope. But Clifford, Cain, Ford, etc. were all top recruits, and they turned out mediocre. Who’s to say the same won’t happen with Allar and Singleton?
I’m ok with passing there but why in the world do you go empty backfield on 3rd and 2. I mean at least give the illusion you may run the ball
Every Michigan defender was at the line of scrimmage. Two receivers were double covered and two were in press man coverage.
No one was open. It looked like a really low percentage, tough-to-judge, pure timing throw. The QB is winding up to throw while the receiver is still in contact with the DB. He has no idea how much contact is there.
With so many creative plays in the book, that call, with the game on the line, leaves me baffled.
I'd rather follow the airplane trackers and Sekrah to find our new coach than subject myself to another couple of years of this crappy football. There are many coaches who cost a lot less who can deliver 6-4 consistently with the PSU brand.
This year and last year have helped my TV cable-cutting decision. The BTN will not be necessary.
Not true anymore Dave. Don't need balls to be a man! Just make the claim!!! 😉🙄
Lee had 20 Carrie's for 88 yds. Two chances to get 2 yds but we went empty backfield.
Plus they lost to USC with those guys in the Rose Bowl, that I still can't believe they lost.
Damned if it didn't end that way again.
People seem shocked? I don’t get it. I gave up on Franklin way back in 2014 when he refused to fire John Donovan. We have one more loss in us this season followed by a trip to Las Vegas, assuming we knock off Rutgers.
Tell me you don’t trust your running game without telling me you don’t trust your running game
Darnold still profiting off that game.
This is my EXACT thought. There is zero accountability on his team. Give up 7 sacks? No worries cuz you’re a good kid. Just fold your arms and say “golly gee” a$$h0L3 Franklin.
That was the last game I attended. Disappointing.
It turns out to have been an early sign of what was going to happen to us again and again and again.
To be sure, there have been some bright spots in the interim. But, it so often seems like we lose as a favor to the opposing team.
lol. If you called a pick play every time the defense ran into one another, defenses would do that on every pass play. You have to know where the other players are on the field, not just the player you are attempting to cover.
Probably the worst PSU loss I have witnessed in person. A case study on how you fold like a cheap tent and blow a game. Let's put no pressure on the QB and play soft coverage so we can make Darnold look like Joe Montana and U$C can comeback and win.
