Official PSU - Illinois game thread

[NCLION]

No way LSU and USC watch this and offer him the job
This is a career killer

 

[bdgan]

At some point you have to try something different. For some reason we don't.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Clifford grabbed his side again

 

[NittanyChris]

Definitely ribs for Clifford. He looks in agony.

 

[scrivener]

It's clear that Cliff isn't healthy and they had no confidence to win with our backup situation...pretty embarrassing at this stage of the program

 

[wlawn]

This team is so fundamentally bad

 

[PSULionsDub]

Clifford is hurt, he should not be playing. This potential loss is 100% on Franklin, get the hell out of State College!

 

[#1 Nittany in VA]

And that’s why Lovett doesn’t play more…atrocious

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Back-to-back complete whiffs on blocks.... unreal.

 

[wlawn]

Two missed blocks

 

[shifix]

Well this is ballgame here. We need a turnover. If we let them drive the ball 15-20 yards we are screwed.

 

[dogwood3131]

Ok.. staff can leave....kids can all transfer...let's start over.

 

[83wuzme]

9 in the box ? Run.
Defense dropping 7 ? Throw.
Why did we hire MY ?

It’s over, can’t stop thief running game.

 

[AtlantaLion]

Time to get back to the basics at practice -- blocking and tackling. Lost arts of today's PSU team.

 

[MANASSASPSU]

The team play today is a embarrassment to the generations of greatness

 

[Mr. Potter]

Clifford Clearly is showing signs that he's hurt. Can't we do the right thing and pull regardless of a win or loss.

 

[BW Lion]

KLS was hurt a couple plays ago. No wonder he missed the block on the quick throw........

Clifford hurt on the sack, due the the whiff by the RB.....

He was hurt in the first quarter yet PSU is still playing him. Franklin, Pry and Yurchich are undeniable frauds.

 

[shifix]

We can’t afford overtime either.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

How bad must our backup quarterbacks be that Franklin is willing to risk the rest of the season with Clifford out there?

 

[Big 0]

Penn State is wearing the wrong throwback uniforms. They should be all pink including the helmets with barely visible black numbers.

 

[#1 Nittany in VA]

Reality is both QBs sucked so bad the past 2 weeks a banged up Cliff was best option. Sad.

 

[NCLION]

Franklin proving he is all flash

 

[nits74]

It’s over, can’t stop thief running game.

This program just isn't all that good.

 

[PearlSUJam]

The line play - both offense and defense - is sad

Seem so undersized on the DL

I mean, we've seen this before, and presumably so have they. 2018 and 2017 MSU were this bad.

 

[kickerinaz]

Is it ever OK to hope for a loss?

 

[PAgeologist]

You would think Clifford being banged up would give the OL a little more motivation to protect him. They don't seem to give a shit though.

We saw just how bad he is a couple of weeks ago

 

[ILLINOISLION]

OMG - Roll Clifford out to the right, EVERY TEAM is blitzing us on 3rd & anything!

 

[BW Lion]

Clifford Clearly is showing signs that he's hurt. Can't we do the right thing and pull regardless of a win or loss.

Its coaching malpractice. Purposely and repeatedly playing an injured player.

If youre referring to guy in Iowa in 2nd half, well…..

 

[bourbon n blues]

I would love to be hunting, but it's been raining here pretty much all day.

I’m going back out right after the game .

 

[SLion]

IA was the sham last week. We are this week. Franklin may have guaranteed 4 losses in a row. No way SC survives this game and stays healthy.

 

[PAgeologist]

Is it ever OK to hope for a loss?

It will make next week's asskicking more tolerable.

 

[EPC FAN]

72 is really bad

4th year Junior. 73 is worse. He is a 5th year Senior.

 

[BudatPSU]

Clifford should not be on the field. If the backup cannot handle that is too bad, but putting Clifford out there is wrong.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

A sneak

That could be part of Franklin's plan!!

 

[wolve1972]

Illinois just went over 300 yards rushing
