Game Thread: PSU - Temple

He tried to go down in bounds. Unfortunate that the defender was underneath him.
Agonizing game to watch. Far too many fundamental mistakes, by both players and the coaching staff. As some have already indicated, it will be more painful against the strong B10 teams.
PSU has 8 turnovers, 6 fumbles, through 3 weeks - not taking care of the ball and silly turnovers are the only reason Temple is remotely in this game (PSU had 3 TOs today versus none for Temple). PSU better get the TO issues cleaned up going into the Conference Schedule - stupid TOs killed them last week and it's the only reason Temple is even remotely in the game this week.
Interesting. Don't think I've ever seen three games play out so close to the betting line.
Barty Crouch, Jr. from Harry Potter . . . Creepy.Rhule needs to give his tongue a xanax. Like a lizard.
What was that about how a personnel change would hurt us at linebacker? 47 looks like the real deal.
Which is why I rarely bet on psu, especially under Franklin. He got out-coached today......it wasnt even close.

#47 Brandon Smith played a very good game. Looks like the solid tackler we have been missing.
Yeah, we may have found a new box LB. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about or seen John Thomas, the RB who switched to LB before the season. Hopefully, the depth developed today, plus getting back one or two of the walking wounded, will improve our LB play. On a negative note, the OL still is lousy at run blocking.
A fumble inside our 10 that kept PSU from scoring, two turnovers inside our 10 that led to 14 Temple points is coaching? Really!
Some people on this board do not know how to enjoy a win. Better to be PSU today than FSU or Iowa.
The "coaching" part relates to the Aussie-style kicker. He was instructed to purposely kick it at our players. That's why teams employ soccer-style kickers
This isn't difficult.
I think going outside tends to lead to this problem. Run forward - clock is more important than yards
Really simple - don't kick toward sideline and boot through the EZ. Toe can do this every time. Return or OB should never happen.
Right..Rhule lost to a team that had half their starting defense injured and didn't have their best offensive player for the first half. Rhule didn't outcoach anyone. Franklin should get a damn award for winning that game with the depleted defense he had.
But didn't Franklin say objective is to kick to corner. Guess you didn't see last week's game when Toe hitting down the center. Must be poor strategizing on head coach.
Now we're trashing the coach for what could have happened. Great fan base.
Small things that matter. His team only turned the ball over 1 time and that was in the waning moments. Further, go back and watch how well Temple was prepared on special teams.
FSU lost to a very good Louisville team and Iowa lost to the top ranked and defending FCS champion. Despite those losses they will both remain in the T25. We nearly lost to another unranked team. I feel far more "relieved" than in a state of enjoyment.
We're certainly not in a place yet to worry about how good a win is. We have to take them how we get them.
Young team making the mistakes young players make. Overall, I think this team is improving. Offense is way ahead of last season and my guess is only a fraction of it is operational at this stage. Need an infusion of talent at OL and LB, perhaps some on the DL, too. Fans need to show some patience. Think back to where we thought this program would end up a few days after those effing sanctions were announced.
FSU didn't lose. The 'Noles got CRUSHED and saw their hopes of making the playoffs virtually destroyed.
