Official PSU - Illinois game thread

[ILLINOISLION]

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.

No the line is 89 pts…..!

 

[TheGLOV]

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

Nah, he's had several games that all rank up there!!

It was 12.5 and moved to 11. I agree, after this week, it's going to be bet up big-time.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Izzard looks like a blocking dummy out there.

 

[TheGLOV]

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

Where's that moron that bitched at the people who criticized QB after he had just one great game??

New OL that last series.

[NCLION]

Our run blitz ain’t working

 

[BW Lion]

Does anyone think PSU is going to win this game? I don't

 

[nits74]

This defense is nothing but a sham. Barring some fluke break, this game is lost.

 

[WestSideLion]

This has the look of PSU’s worst loss under Franklin. I love James, but we’ve seen this movie often. No depth. No spark. The team is just flat.

 

[GregInPitt]

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.

The defense is not really "winning".....

 

[RTRMR]

Does anyone think PSU is going to win this game? I don't

I agree 14-10 loss

 

[PAgeologist]

At what point does the admin do something about this sh*t?

You would think they would. But repeatedly they seem to take it with a smile on their face. Apparently sticking up for your team and calling out blatant garbage is not permitted in sports anymore.

 

[psudsl08]

7-15 yards a carry this drive. What a joke

 

[fastlax16]

Lineman tackled on that one.

 

[TheGLOV]

This has the look of PSU’s worst loss under Franklin. I love James, but we’ve seen this movie often. No depth. No spark. The team is just flat.

He's a 'thinking-man' don't ya know!

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Our defense normally gets its edge by playing fast and using their speed.

I see a lethargic team today, effectively taking away its strength.

 

[PennSt8er]

Does anyone think PSU is going to win this game? I don't

nope. 4 losses pending.

 

[Grass]

Are the fan boys still worried about Franklin leaving?

 

[scrivener]

Maybe Brandon Smith, our highest rated guy on D can make a game changing play for once.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

they say that you could call holding on every play

conversely, you could just NOT call holding on ANY plays

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

It is unreal the holding they are letting Illinois get away with - especially given the 3 holding calls they've made against PSU.

 

[shifix]

Everybody in that stadium knows what’s coming. Are we that bad?

 

[psupride1997]

PSU is going to lose to Art Sitkowski

 

[ftlpsu]

I will tell you,..if we loose Franklins gone…he would see season down the drain and the recruiting class as well…not good…not good at all sigh..

 

[MANASSASPSU]

Images of the 99 season. Our D has been exposed

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

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

Which is a reflection of the entire team. We have seen this before.

 

[BW Lion]

All Franklin is capable of is standing on the sidelines with his arms crossed and spitting.

Please leave.

 

[wlawn]

I have never seen two worst Lines ever

 

[McCloudersportLion]

It's time for the CB and Safety blitz, LB and waterboi too Everyone.gif

 

[ram2020]

Always bad after a loss always bad after a bye. Franklin was on his recruiting trip, players were clearly taking it easy. Rinse and repeat every year.

 

[psupride1997]

I have never seen two worst Lines ever

SOFT SOFT SOFT

 

[NCLION]

Sadly this is beginning of end of Franklin era
Comsistently out coached and poor player development

 

[83wuzme]

The fixation on big plays has led to this.

 

[Grass]

All Franklin is capable of is standing on the sidelines with his arms crossed and spitting.

Please leave.

The spitting between the teeth is really annoying.

 

[nits74]

You would think they would. But repeatedly they seem to take it with a smile on their face. Apparently sticking up for your team and calling out blatant garbage is not permitted in sports anymore.

Agree, but there is no excuse for this sort of shit play we're witnessing. Little effort or pride.

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

I haven't seen Penn State or its opponent run the ball as well as Illinois has since Journey Brown and the Lawn Boys ran all over Memphis in the Cotton Bowl. We're making Brown and McCray look like Sanders and Payton.

 

[YogiMan71]

Projected season finish is now 7-5 with luck 8-4. This team is an improvement over last years but not strong enough to win the conference.

 

[BeaverLion]

It is unreal the holding they are letting Illinois get away with - especially given the 3 holding calls they've made against PSU.

Sad when you need this vs Illinois. A D not even in the top 100.

 

[psuno1]

Illini are going down hill now, they tried to give it to PSU on the turnovers, going to 14-10 soon.
