Farmer and Reid absolutely suck. No debate on that point. Johnson actually played well during the first half

Bottom line we blew a two score lead with 8 minutes left.
Bottom line Urban put the ball in his QB hand to win the game. Franklin took the ball out of his QB hand.
Bottom line this is the worst LB group I seen at PSU. They can’t tackle.
My 3 biggest plays that resulted in the loss are:
The fumble by Sanders.
The refs stopping play to prevent a quick count play by PSU for a potential 1st down, thereby allowing OSU to substitute on D.
The biggest bonehead play call on 4th and 5 at the end of the game. Did someone on the coaching staff have money riding on OSU to win?

I'm sticking with my 9-3 forecast. The defense fed off the crowd and played much better than expected for 3 quarters but they reverted back in the 4th qtr.
I didn't expect to win this game but it hurts when you seem to have it in hand and let it slip away. Again!
I certainly wouldn’t call them “awful,” but they were clearly not the same team in the passing game after Hamler was injured.
That game had my heart racing. Great effort by both teams. Good luck in the rest of the season!
If Stevens would have caught the ball, it wouldn’t have been as bad. God damn kids don’t execute, but it’s the coaches’ fault.
I agree. This team is not good enough to beat Michigan on the road, and we'll lose one more that is unexpected. Life goes on.
I know you're being humorous with your last point about someone on the coaching staff having money on OSU but I jokingly thought the same thing. The call defies any logical explanation so you have to break out the tin foil hat stuff.
PSU has their chances. Tip the cap and go win out.
PSU made more mistakes. Dropped passes, lost fumble, missed FG and missed tackles especially by the CBs. OSU is better in the trenches and we couldn't overcome it.
Yup. And keep it going. A lot of teams would kill to lose to OSU in front of 110,000 for their first loss of the year.
Freirmuth and Hamler are the best two receivers. The rest are mediocre. Losing Hamler hurt
Pass to #87. End of story. He had the entire right side of the field open to him, most likely in one on one coverage. Running the RPO in that situation, and especially giving it to Sanders, got exactly what it deserved. A dumbass play call that will go down in history.
They outsmarted themselves running at all. You pass and let Trace scramble if he has no other choice.

Yup. Losing like this is brutal though - we had it won.
Couple plays each way turned this game. PSU came up short. Win out and see what happens. Defense was light and day better.
It was a TD if Stevens catches the ball. Hamler was wide open. Why the staff is at fault for that is a mystery.

Except tackling in the 4th. Had no answer for their obvious screen passes.
As another poster hinted, you must be related to one of the coaches if you’re defending that play call. OSU absolutely could not stop us on that first drive, so we stopped ourselves. That play was negative from the word go. Featuring a guy repeatedly who hadn’t played a down all year really worked well, I guess?
I would like to hear which PSU fans thought we would go undefeated. I know I didn’t.
If he caught it, he had a receiver wide open for a TD. But yeah, that’s all on the coaches.
Yes, I agree plenty of missed plays by the players. But that happens in every single college game ever. It happens on both sides. My point is that despite those plays, which happen every game, the coaches did not put them in the best position to win. And its the third straight double digit big game 4th quarter lead they've done that with. When is it ok to say that Franklin is bad in that situation? Are you still defending Andy Reid's 2 minute clock management as well?
Pry called a good first half. It was far better than I had expected. Pressure is what we needed to keep Haskins from throwing it down field. We did that well.
But .... OSU has a good staff. They went to screens in the 2nd half, and we had no answer. We don't run them. So the question is, did we have any preparation against screens? Those plays demand open field tackling, an obvious weakness.

I said at least 5 times on here that if Farmer is still starting by this game we were in trouble. Bottom line. Defense folded again in the 4th. F the upperclassmen. Time to play the youth.
I’m hopeful. Michigan looked mediocre today. We can beat them in that dump. We can beat everyone else. The staff needs to not let a hangover take place like they did with Michigan State last year. I’m concerned though with Hamler missing extended time.
We will learn more about the staff over the next couple of weeks than just what happened.

No1. Somewhat. The drops hurt but they still made some plays.
No 2. Yes. Not to put the game into the hands of your senior QB, who played lights out all game is disgusting. Just can't comprehend that decision. I love JF and his staff, but this was beyond anything i can defend.
No 3 and 4. No and no. It's a 60 minute game. Trace played like a senior QB should. And you can't blame the game on one play.
This is on the coaches and the lack of d tackling in the second half.
