They're winning though, right? Isn't that all you care about regardless of the opponent?
Iowa's offense is garbage but the only thing that matters is winning, right? Their fans should be happy? Yes?
And their offense sucks--if they win though all is good, right? Only if they lose should anyone worry.
You do realize you’re not a coach, right? Whether you worry about something or not doesn’t mean sh!t. I’m quite certain Franklin and his staff are more worried about things than you are.
I'm sure they are but why does this board claim I need to be "happy" when we beat inferior programs. Bama isn't "happy" they won today--they're relieved. Just like I was last week. Today went as expected.
So the goal was to go in today, win the game easily and get our young guys valuable playing time. That’s exactly what happened so why wouldn’t any Penn State fan be happy? I don’t think anyone should have rushed the field after the win, but why not be happy about doing what they needed to do? It’s like arguing with a Pitt fan….hmm.
Why would we ever be happy with beating a MAC school? It's basically watching a scrimmage. It doesn't make sense. Are you happy when your NFL team (assuming you have one) wins a preseason game?
I think Iowa State was trying to lose it at the end. The fact that Iowa had a 48 yard FG to tie is ridiculous.
Not sure it really was the officials though. Just stupid by ISU, line up offsides then running on the field. Gave them 20 yards. Then give up the 10 yard out which is the last thing you can do. Just force them in the middle and time should run out if it is short of the first down.
I don't mind a cupcake or 2 on the schedule. No preseason in College, so this acts as one. No terribly easy games in the BIG either.
If you want to be happy about beating Ohio that's great but don't expect everyone to have the view. I wish people would stop going to games like Ohio to prevent them from continuing to be scheduled. Hoping realignment makes this a thing of the past.
Because I love winning…it’s like better than losing.
It's like an adult playing basketball against a toddler. Do you feel good when you win or do you take it easy on the kid so he does cry for the next hour? It's not a "real win"
You sounds like a miserable person. Pretty on brand for a lot of our fans I guess. We don't play many games in a season, a win is reason to be happy regardless of the opponent, especially when it goes exactly as it should like it did today. Nobody will be rioting in Beaver canyon tonight, but we can still enjoy a win.
Why is someone "a miserable person" for not being excited or happy about meaningless things? We beat Ohio. Not Ohio State.
I'm happy for an easy win, regardless of the opponent. Ohio in particular certainly doesnt move the needle for me. A solid win next week against AU will.
If you take zero pleasure in life except for significant things, I'd say that makes you a pretty miserable person. What percentage of life consists of relatively significant things, 10% at best? Despite your statement, beating Ohio is meaningful. Allar and many others got meaningful reps and experience today. Being 2-0 instead of 1-1 is meaningful.
