Terrible blocking on the fake

Who missed that block? Pathetic effort

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Like they said on BTN this week. We are a soft football team. We are certainly proving it.

 

[troutrus]

Thank goodness for the NFL. This amateur football sucks.

 

[PSUcup1]

My god

 

[psualt]

nothing like flipping the field for them. You had an opportunity to pin them back and run the fake to the strong side.

 

[willy1217]

Hire a couple coordinators

 

[Nittany_93]

Franklin is desperate and it shows

 

[Psualum2007]

Major coaching issues!!

 

[fastlax16]

So MSU does it and its successful so Dantonio outcoached CJF. But we try it and it doesn’t work, so we’re poorly coached. Got it.

Execution. They ran it to the strong side. Not sure what they expected to happen.

On another note. Solid return on that kick. This team can’t get out of their own way.

 

[kgilbert78]

Brutal

 

[NittPicker]

Too bad we're not a second half team anymore.

 

[paws1957]

Pathetic!

 

[NCLION]

Team has to find its identity
Someone on defense has to step up and lead
Team is reeeling right now and cheerleading won’t work

 

[thewholebit]

Pry can stay in bloomington.

You can’t criticize Pry here. Forum rules.

 

[psudsl08]

IU with 100+ yards rushing in the first quarter

 

[jbenedict]

Indiana scores and jimmy is greeting them as they run off field saying good job. What? fumble the ball and pat them on the top of helmet. Are you kidding me.

 

[troutrus]

When you need trick plays against Indiana, you are in trouble.

 

[fastlax16]

The only appropriate response is expectations were too high. I know I know.

You don’t do that when your are a favorite against an “inferior” team and give them a short field.

Dantonio did it because they had no chance against us if our coaching staff was a worth a damn with all the injuries MSU had.

It was an abominable call.

 

[2020 is Our Year]

Franklin needs to stop clapping. You're not a cheerleader. Get better, focus on the game. The fake punt was a desperate call against a team we are far superior than. Something needs to change.

I'm not in the "fire Franklin" minority but this isn't good enough right now. Changes are needed. Whether it's minor like benching Juwan Johnson and Koa Farmer or t's something bigger like making a change at OC/DC immediately following this game.

Yes, it's still early and we're still probably going to win but this simply isn't acceptable with this amount of talent following back to back home losses.

 

[SUPERTODD]

The people who said our main problem this year is WRs is completely off bases. Our problem is ZERO playmakers on D. Our safeties and LBs can not make a tackle in space. Just terrible.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Sanders and Hamler it on offense - keep feeding them.

 

[LionDeNittany]

It was a bad series. Lets see if our o figures it out this drive.

Ldn

Reminds me of a former IU basketball coach known as clappy

 

[AvgPennStateFan]

Time for Trace, Myles and KJ to take over

 

[NCLION]

Sanders
Hamler
Repeat

Please

 

[Big 0]

Possibly one of the worst first quarters I have ever seen a Penn State football team play.

 

[fastlax16]

It’s a team with many problems.

 

[jbenedict]

Thank goodness for the NFL. This amateur football sucks.

Really. THank God for the NFL? Really!

 

[kgilbert78]

Were you at the Toledo game?

 

[PSU Dave]

Indiana scores and jimmy is greeting them as they run off field saying good job. What? fumble the ball and pat them on the top of helmet. Are you kidding me.

He learned from Coach Clap.

 

[PearlSUJam]

Just keep feeding Sanders.

 

[nits74]

It’s a team with many problems.

10, 9, 8.... Where is the all is well crowd?

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Probably worst 1st quarter of the year.

 

[LoyalandTrueLion]

Ball rotation.....give me a break.

It’s a football.....you catch it or you don’t catch it.

The only time ball rotation matters ... is at 2am in a mouth

 

[Omar81]

Well, an absolutely abysmal first quarter. Have success with Sanders running? Yes, so let’s throw almost every down. Trace off target again. Juwan with the obligatory drop. Can’t field either punts or kickoffs. Fail to anticipate QB draws. Run the most poorly designed fake punt in history (an off tackle run by the punter?). Get fooled AGAIN on a reverse.

Holy freaking crap.

 

[Norm Petersin]

Indians wants it more than we do right now. Run it down their throat.

 

[thewholebit]

Atta boy!

 

[RickinDayton]

So MSU does it and its successful so Dantonio outcoached CJF. But we try it and it doesn’t work, so we’re poorly coached. Got it.

It was poorly designed. We were outnumbered on the side we ran to. Reeks of desperation and gave Indiana a short field while they were already gashing our D. Special teams coaching is terrible. Again, our team is not physical.

 

[Pocono Lion]

Farmer needs to not see the field. Not only is he terrible at LB, but he completely botched that KO. He’s just going through the motions out there.
