I thought all we needed to know every week was fire Franklin!

I thought all we needed to know every week was fire Franklin!

Didn’t take long for this thread to be ruined. First damned post.

 

[b&w1987]

Saban is set to make $10.95 million in 2022, up from $9.75 million in 2021 — when his Alabama Crimson Tide finished as the College Football Playoff runner-up.

• Clemson’s Dabo Swinney is the second-highest-paid coach at $10.54 million.
• Kirby Smart — who led Georgia to a national title in 2021 – will pocket $10.25 million.
• LSU’s Brian Kelly rounds out the top four at $9.81 million after leaving Notre Dame in 2021.

Outside of the top four are Big Ten coaches, led by Mel Tucker at Michigan State who will make $9.56 million this year as the conference’s coaches average $9.5 million for 2022.

Looks like Franklin is underpaid and needs a raise.

It has quickly become quite an overcast day here at Beaver Stadium. Both teams are stretching on the field.

Curtis Jacobs was jogging on the field earlier today before the team's arrival. We'll see if he comes out in uniform for warmups.

Oops, read without glasses, thought it said searching for field.

OL starter updates when you see them. Please.

Thank you.

I now can only picture both teams roaming the fields surrounding the stadium looking for it.

 

[LeatherHelmets]

Heard that Jacobs and Porter are out today.

Blue and White would be Penn State, Black and White would be the cows and I cannot understand the Maryland colors so I cannot help you there.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Heard that Jacobs and Porter are out today.

We'll find out for sure on both players in the next 15 minutes.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

The rain has begun... looks like we'll have another wet one.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

We'll find out for sure on both players in the next 15 minutes.

To follow up on this Joey Porter Jr and Curtis Jacobs both did not warm up/ stretch. Defense has yet to come out for drills.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Joey Porter Jr. and Curtis Jacobs are both OUT for Penn State.

Happy Valley Insider - Two key defensive players not warming up for Penn State

Penn State appears to be without two key defensive players on Saturday.

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Joey Porter Jr - OUT
Curtis Jacobs - OUT
Olu Fashanu - OUT

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Drew Shelton will be getting the start for Olu Fashanu once again. Caedan Wallace is warming up as well, he's missed the last few games with injury.

 

[NCLION]

Why is Porter out?

 

[lazydave841]

Why is Porter out?

No clue. Starting to think that some First Round Flu is going around.

Key to the game? Can our Rbs hold into the ball in this rain? We couldn’t against NW

Ball security. Line penetration.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Chop Robinson is one of Penn State's team captains today. He's going up against his former program in the Terrapins.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's first defensive series is a great one, they will force a three-and-out. Zane Durant picks up a sack on third down. The first of his career.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Worth watching, Sean Clifford is 16-yards away from becoming Penn State's all-time passing leader.

 

[The Spin Meister]

Damn Fox. Can’t hear the announcers over the crowd noise. TURN UP THEIR MICROPHONES!

 

[GregInPitt]

Loved that first run by Singleton. He ran tough, broke 2 tackles and got 8+. Allen's style is hopefully rubbing off on him.

 

[Obliviax]

Hot chick ref alert!

 

[fastlax16]

Had a chance to snap that ball early and get a free play.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

There's a new leader at the top of Penn State's all-time passing leader. Clifford had 9,884 coming into the day. He's now at 9,902, breaking Trace McSorley's program record of 8,899.

Lionvision. Sync it to the broadcast. Bluetooth it to your soundbar (if you have it).

 

[lazydave841]

Beautiful opening sequence. 3 and out, including a pressure, a quick tackle and a sack. Washington squandered 5 yards on the punt, but then the offense comes down the short field efficiently. Singleton with some good runs. Clifford hit low (penalty in the NFL) but comes back to throw the TD.

Not to pee on his cornflakes but he's in year 6.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Man Cliff looked good on that drive! Hit Strange with two great passes.... kept the play alive with his feet on the the TD pass, then threw a pass to the perfect spot where only Strange could get his hands on it. He's so Jeckyl & Hyde - he looked "big league" on that drive... wish he could consistently play like that because he is damn good when he does.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's defensive line is swarming early, they pick up another sack. This time Adisa Isaac.

Hey, I'm just passing on the note.

 

[BudatPSU]

Take down, 2 points?

Coaches must have seen something on film with their o-line
