That should have been 6

 

[okinburg1]

Punted with 10 seconds left

Elite clock management

 

[psupride1997]

Not only will Maryland beat PSU, but the Lions may lose to everyone on this schedule other than Rutgers.

 

[jbenedict]

Clifford is the biggest problem on our offense. It cant be the O coordinators at this point.

 

[PS4814]

Clifford is mentally shot. Feel bad for him but he’s fully shell shocked at this point due to the pass rush.

 

[psu2016]

Why snap it with 10 seconds left on the game clock on the punt?

 

[slykens]

Our punter is playing well

Gotta have one positive.

 

[uscgPSU]

Maryland is going to beat us...easily

Who’s not going to beat us easily if we play like this all year?

 

[CHARLOTTE LION]

This is really crazy. The disparity in talent between these teams grew exponentially over the last two years. And the gap between coaching staffs did too, which is amazing considering Urban ain't there anymore.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Punted with 10 seconds left

Moronic - Saban would have ripped the whole punt team and ST coach for that

 

[CDLionFL]

3 was wide open. Clifford locked on TE.

Tough to be able to look off more than one receiver when the line is so terrible. Poor kid may have to go into punt snap formation to have more than 2 seconds to find a receiver.

 

[Richard the LIONhearted]

Clifford is the biggest problem on our offense. It cant be the O coordinators at this point.

Lol, how many screens have they called tonight? And how many have worked? Not the O-coordinators fault? LOL

 

[okinburg1]

Franklin pay attention to collegiate clock management

 

[bdgan]

It’s not just the talent gap, it’s bad communication, bad organization and terrible game management.

But other than that....

 

[Sooner Lion]

Class act by Ryan Day. Decided not to score again at the end of the first half.

Special teams have been “special”

 

[CDLionFL]

Clifford is the biggest problem on our offense. It cant be the O coordinators at this point.

Tough for him to do anything when the offensive line is a damn sieve.

 

[bdgan]

What I don't understand is that, year after year, our OL is often overmatched in games, and yet we continue to run slow developing patterns that leave our QB with no chance.

I guess the strategy was to run screen plays, but we haven't shown an ability to do that since JVP.

The screen to Warner was a thing of beauty.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

What the crap was that at the end of the half? Didn't we have a time out?

 

[Big 0]

Time for Franklin to join his family in FL. Find someone on the staff to take over.

 

[sluggo72]

Wait, did OSU just snap the ball under center??? How did they get extra time to practice that?? I thought there was no way a team could ever do that...

Thinking the same thing

 

[Locolion]

Documentation?

From 3 exOSU players mouths to my ears

 

[JoeBot409]

does James Franklin get a performance review?

 

[pennstatefan111]

Class act by Ryan Day. Decided not to score again at the end of the first half.

The class act hasn't worn his mask all night

 

[BudatPSU]

Someone should tell Ryan Day that wearing a mask as a chin strap is about as good as wearing a condom on the sack.

 

[TheGLOV]

It’s all Sandy’s fault

And Jay of course!!

 

[uscgPSU]

Body language of the players and coaches suck. There’s no fire or sense of urgency from any of these dudes.

 

[JustinTyme]

I love what Franklin stands for but he is an absolutely terrible game day coach. We have been outcoached badly. Going for it that first drive was desperation. Not calling a timeout on their last score is absolutely inexcusable. You have guys running on late and confused with a great chance to stop them. Why not just give them a TD? We've essentially done it twice.

 

[danvillenit]

Two completions for the half

 

[SoParkLion]

What the crap was that at the end of the half? Didn't we have a time out?

Agreed that was terrible.

 

[JoeBot409]

Clifford is the biggest problem on our offense. It cant be the O coordinators at this point.

Starts up front, OL has sucked for 6 years

 

[fastlax16]

This happened in 2014 too and they missed it

 

[NCLION]

I knew we would struggle this year but lack of talent is worrisome
Porter looks like a stud
but that’s it
rest look like Undersized backups

 

[83wuzme]

Clifford is the biggest problem on our offense. It cant be the O coordinators at this point.

The OL is average at best. The WR’s are below average. It takes them the entire clock to get a play called and the ball snapped because the sidelines are in chaos.
Somehow, I don’t think changing QB’s is going to fix all that.

Your drumbeat is old and boring

 

[CoolBean]

Total yards: OSU 296 PSU 80.
Total domination!

 

[Sproul]

What the hell is this? Replay booth sucks

 

[BGJeff]

Somebody should tell Jimmy F to pull his face shield all the way above his eyes. Maybe he'll do better them.

 

[b&w1987]

Ever wonder what a guy watching a multimillion dollar a year job potentially go up in smoke looks like?

Check out Franklins thousand yard stare on the sidelines.

 

[Greg80]

Now that's clock management
