PSU - Kentucky Citrus Bowl Official Game Thread

[PennStateNate]

probably works if we don’t drop the ball.

Still a bad call that deep in your own end

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Catch the ****ing ball

yeah, they could have converted the fake punt, but Jonathan Thomas dropped the snap

 

[fairfaxlion2]

Guess CJF wants a challenge...give them an early lead to work with as this was a gift to KY so far

Like the Rose Bowl vs. USC. Let's dig as much of a hole as possible and see if we can come back.

 

[paws1957]

Good defense there

 

[dogwood3131]

My God that was dumb

 

[Nittany Security]

damn

 

[Tom McAndrew]

with a FG, Kentucky takes the early lead, 3-0, with 12:20 left in the 1st quarter

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Lucky to get out of there with only a FG. Time to get cereal.

 

[wlawn]

You don't do that at your own 30

 

[BobPSU92]

Great start. Shit.

 

[demlion]

May be the tactically most stupid call in CJFs career. Fake punt. J-F-C.

 

[AWS1022]

Spotted them an early three....dumb decision.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Don’t disagree.

 

[SUPERTODD]

Why does Franklin always outsmart himself? Just punt the ball and make their unexplosive offense drive the length of the field to score.

 

[mjh218]

Don’t hate the decision to fake it. The execution was awful. Thought Trace could have run for 5 on 1st down. Sanders with a bad drop on second. Let’s hope it’s just jitters.

There have been others.

 

[bobroars]

Great start. Shit.

Why do our guys have toilet paper on their arms?

Well, he continuously gives us more and more calls to chose from!

 

[Nittany_93]

So how many plays do we run before the urge to fire the coaching staff or the players?

The correct answer is 4

 

[Raffycorn]

Obvious, but Kentucky’s offense isn’t good enough to hurt you. Gotta punt it and make them drive the field - I don’t think they’ll be able to do it with any kind of consistency on our defense.

 

[psuro]

Glad this bowl game is meaningless.

Yep. They take the ball rather than defer to the second half. Then turn it over deep in their own territory with the fake punt. Doubled down on the error.

 

[Alphalion75]

No Tom. You punt the ball in that situation. You never, ever give your opponent the opportunity to seize the early momentum. But Franklin forgot this basic fundamental.

Tomlinesque.

The decision was horrible. If we lose by 3 or less he should get crucified like Steelers coach did.

 

[NedFromYork]

Obviously in the spirit of the game Franklin stayed at a VRBO last night and not a Holiday Inn Express.

 

[JoeDidntKnow]

Franklin is regressing as a game day coach. He must have gotten the ESPiN memo that stated all games beside the CFP are meaningless

 

[fastlax16]

Look like doo doo

 

[PennStateNate]

Running isn’t going to do it today. Their D is too fast

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Two very tight series - gotta loosen up.

 

[sluggo72]

Robert Windsor out. Off to a bad start already!

Did he make the trip? Ala Manny Bowen when he was suspended?

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Play of the game!!

 

[fastlax16]

That punt was the best play of the day

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Franklin’s huge strength is recruiting.

Franklin’s huge weakness is the three hours on gamedays.

 

[lw37]

Great punt there!

 

[paws1957]

Now that was a punt!

 

[Nittany Security]

great punt

 

[84Lion]

Now that is a nice punt.

 

[Raffycorn]

Did he make the trip? Ala Manny Bowen when he was suspended?

He’s on the sidelines in street clothes.

 

[SUPERTODD]

Trace looks sharp. That was sarcasm.
