Official PSU - Illinois game thread

[SaquonCappelletti]

I think the super early line next week was something like Ohio State by 8 or 9 points. After this performance, I have a feeling we'll be underdogs well into double-digits.

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Best time for Bret B to abandon the run to throw passes. Forced a fourth down.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Announcer was exactly right, you can't make that call when you don't call the late hit on Clifford.

No clue. Most are in the portal because they want to start and won’t, they’ll go down a level if needed. Anyone who didn’t/couldn’t find a landing spot is probably worse than what’s in our qb room.

I find it hard to believe that someone would rather sit on their couch not on a team than put on pads and hold a clipboard.

You would think Franklin would take a chance on someone knowing what he had in TR and CV. 2 legs, 2 arms and a pulse gets you in the conversation for backup QB at this point.

 

[NCLION]

Dotson

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

I'm starting to think some of this crew has money on the game.

 

[paws1957]

27 yards in 4 drives

 

[NCLION]

Clifford is way off
can we do a short pass
a slant

They took the under!

 

[PSUcup1]

Seriously Lovett?? That was weak

You should enter the transfer portal and hold a clipboard next season.

 

[RGWhirly]

I’m not going to beat up on Clifford, but feel he is doing more harm than good right now.

He's ok. We are all just a bit frustrated sir.

 

[TheGLOV]

Where's Pat Devlin, just to hand off the ball, when you need him?

 

[fastlax16]

Only the second penalty on Illinois all afternoon

 

[PSUcup1]

Tell Theo to take a seat

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Ugh.... nothing is going right. Guys can't hold onto the passes even when they hit them in the chest.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

What's Franklin always staring at on the sideline. Every time they cut to him, he looks completely disinterested.

 

[PSUcup1]

Other than Dotson, the Team just doesn’t make plays when needed

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

No way dude, Yurcich is a perfect candidate for tee Franklin’s replacement just ask Marshall and the CJC(circle jerk crew)

Same th

You want Franklin to claim PSU put Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts into the league in the last 4 years?

They got a kid from us

Thinking about the LSU job

 

[bdgan]

No screens. Everything is a straight drop back.

He’s saying to himself. “WTF guys, can you catch the effing ball”

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

brutal, just friggin brutal

 

[indoorgolf]

And he's an ex-Pitt QB.

He went to UCONN not Pitt but he is from western Pa

 

[NCLION]

We need a defensive score or we ain’t winning

 

[TheGLOV]

Other than Dotson, the Team just doesn’t make plays when needed

And, to that end, the coaching staff just doesn't know how to prepare a game plan even with a week off!

 

[proud2bpsufan]

Keep pinning thme deep and let the defense win this one for us. Maybe we can add another TD or field goal but I don't think we will need it.

 

[83wuzme]

Where are people who were telling us not having a rushing game was not a problem ?

 

[Cpeplion]

Time for Clifford to take a seat.

 

[psupride1997]

This is the worst performance of the Franklin era, win or lose.

 

[PennSt8er]

Over/under on PSU punts today? I'll start with 9.

Seems like I nailed it. Except I predicted this based on QB2.

 

[TheGLOV]

No screens. Everything is a straight drop back.

How about even a quick-pitch show side pitch??

 

[ram2020]

I've seen these games from this penn state team during Franklin's tenure. Nobody is doing anything, we wait for one guy to make a play, if we get it, we win, if we don't, we don't. Dotson is going to have to make a play or something

 

[RickinDayton]

We need a defensive score or we ain’t winning

I can't watch this freak show. We have been outcoached. I turned it off.

 

[ftlpsu]

No there’s been worse games..

 

[fastlax16]

Wtf is pry calling

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Didn't 99 get cut blocked?

 

[zubrus1]

It’s only Ball State, Villanova. We are keeping the playbook vanilla, blah blah blah. Same morons every year…
