Beau attempted 1 pass today
If you think that kind of offense is going to work against good teams...

Good thing you aren’t the AD. And you know Franklin was calling the plays based on what location you were at on the sideline?
Agreed and thankfully we probably won't need to throw it to win next week. My focus is betting good teams next year
Dominant D is enough to beat the likes of Rutgers...and every other team in this mediocre league except for the Big-2.
I really hope Drew doesn't have an arm or shoulder injury. Absolutely idiotic to design running plays for the guy.

I’m just having some fun
but it isnt a coincidence we started running the ball better when he came in
a running QB just fits better.
I do like his swagger though
he has more “it” than Allar
maybe next week we see him throw
gotta see what we have in him
enjoy rest of day everyone
It isn't coincidence. It's happened in almost every game this year as the other team tires in the second half.
Anyone that wants Beau to be the QB next year has absolutely lost their mind
He has more “it” than Allar? We’ll see if he gets in a game where he has to throw more than 1 pass.
Qb draw whereby your qb gets destroyed over his career is a Franklin staple. The qb draw, regardless of QB skill-set, has been a staple and the one thread that binds all of our OC's. Im positive its Franklin's favorite play from his days at Stroudsburg and he refuses to have an offense that doesn't utilize it.
Why because he got hurt running the ball which he did quite well today.
And it's sad we can't design an offense for a true pocket passer forcing him to run the ball.
Yup, it's one thing with a certain skill-set at QB...but not with a guy like Drew who was recruited strictly for his arm. It makes absolutely no sense.
The backup QB is always the most popular player on the team when things aren't going well for the starter
Then the offense needs to be designed differently. I mean, it's not exactly setting the world on fire in its current design.
The offense design is horrid. Slow handoffs, lineman have to hold blocks too long and qbs no time to look downfield. This team is built to run pro style offense with great rbs and a big arm qb.
So much this! The question isn't whether or not Allar is right for this system, its whether we can design any offense that would compliment our big,slow offensive line and our 5 star QB and Rb's. There just has to be an offense out there that doesn't feature the qb draw as its corner stone, no?
That was my first thought, but I did not know it. Thank you, It was a good few minutes thinking about how great that team in the 90's was I can still see Kijanna's first run from scrimmage in the Rose Bowl. We were spoiled then. Talent and execution at every position.
Portal bound.And Elsdon wasn't on the Senior Day walk list. So maybe he'll be missing tackles for PSU next season as well......
But in reality, it’s not built for a pro style offense . . . The QB yes, but not the rest of the scheme. And that is the just of the problem. Establish a damn identity and build around it!
Beau was our leading rusher.
It was nice to see Singleton get going in the 4th quarter.
He looked natural hitting the perimeter on his longer run. This is who he is.
Yet we don't do things to get him into space:
- Swing passes to him
- Toss sweeps to him
- Line him up in the slot
The offensive line would be much better in prostyle offense along with the running backs. Open the hole quicker and go. Having to hold blocks that long and running backs getting to line slower is costing this team and has for years. We have great tight ends also which favor this. It’s been proven this offense can’t win big games the way it’s designed.
Today he was a totally different runner because he had space due to a running threat at QB.
When you can't weep, blubber and cry about anything else, blubber about the point spread.
Penn State should have won 1000 to nothing according to the weepers.

I understand that but 90% of Singleton's carries are between the tackles. IMO the staff doesn't do enough to get the ball to him in space.
