PSU - Michigan game thread

[gjbankos]

Why did we blow a timeout to save a 5 yard delay of game on a 21 yard field goal attempt?

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

You're right, Moron Pool Boy, if he was running around like an idiot and crying PSU would be winning right now.

PSU is running around losing their collective heads because of ?Franklin. Did that answer your question?

He's a clueless, artificially emotional twit

 

[paradox1984]

Why wasn't the Barkley catch reviewed? His foot was clearly down & he had the ball pinned to his body for control?

Clearly could have been caught.

 

[NovaPSULuvr]

What a putz...

 

[BGJeff]

Franklin is gutless.

 

[nits74]

Please tell me we didn't blow a timeout to kick a <30 field goal. Please tell me we didn't.

Baffling. Not that it's going to matter.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

That replay looked like sb caught that

No review - go figure... This conference is so filled with human excrement, it isn't even funny.

 

[MtNittany]

If you want a FG - fine. Take the 5 yard penalty, save the TO. STUPID

 

[ILLINOISLION]

NINE MORE FGs.....NINE MORE FGs.....!!!!!

 

[maxxedout]

What the **** are 3 points gonna do when you're down four touchdowns against a superior opponent. Baffling decision. Go for that shit. Booooooo!

 

[Bob78]

2nd half success to me = COMPETE, COMPETE, COMPETE.

It won't be a Pitt-type of comeback, but at least try to win the 2nd half, even with backups (Stevens, WRs, Freshmen OLs).

 

[Novalions]

That tells you a lot about our staff. How on earth do you go for a field goal? Announcers said it best, would Harbaugh kick there?

 

[PSU95alum]

... For a chip shot FG?!? THAT might be my proverbial straw. Wtf?!?

 

[mjh218]

Rhetorical question - but if you are going to go for it on 4th and 5 from outside 40 down 7-0. Why not go for it there? Does not make sense

 

[psualt]

Cam Brown flying around. Definitely some upside

 

[Ranger Dan]

Barkley bounced his head on that pass in the end zone and left. Not good...

I hope it's not a concussion... he's literally the only option on offense right now. He's still not enough on his own, but without him we got nothing.

 

[TN Lion]

Franklin is stupid, period.

 

[paradox1984]

We have got to stop giving up so many big plays and 7+ yard gains on first down.

 

[rutgersdave]

... For a chip shot FG?!? THAT might be my proverbial straw. Wtf?!?

He doesn't want to be shut out. Franklin has given up and might as well put in 2rd and 3rd string for an excuse.

 

[Novalions]

this could be worst defense of all time at PSU

 

[Lion8286]

He's been horrible at managing TOs. He should actually delegate calling TOs to an assistant.

 

[Lion8286]

He doesn't want to be shut out. Franklin has given up and might as well put in 2rd and 3rd string for an excuse.

Ash gave up as soon as he took the rutgers job. Then again, what coach wouldn't??

 

[Phil's Rug]

Somebody should point to the score board next time Allen wants to throw up the Shhh sign

 

[OmniscientFan]

Your down 28-3. You break up one pass. And you show boat!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS TEAM!!!!

 

[Ranger Dan]

That tells you a lot about our staff. How on earth do you go for a field goal? Announcers said it best, would Harbaugh kick there?

It's a lose-lose proposition. Barkley was out of the game and there was no shot at converting. If he goes for it and we get shut out then everyone will second guess that too. We just aren't in a position to have anything look good right now.

 

[83wuzme]

Nice tackle by Golden there. Brown has some potential at LB

 

[richie83]

Me and my son are saying same thing. But he's a good dancer.

 

[PSU95alum]

He doesn't want to be shut out. Franklin has given up and might as well put in 2rd and 3rd string for an excuse.

I get going for the FG. But do you really waste a second half TO early on so you can kick a 21 yard FG instead of a 26 yarder? Really?!? That's just asinine.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Two stops for the D. Nice. Have to wonder how much a healthy Cabinda, Bell, and WW would have helped.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Allen is playing hard. Agree he needs to cool it with the gestures, but at least he's pouring it all out on the field.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Golden's first positive play of the day!

(Sorry, but he had an awful first half.....)

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Golden one of the few very good tacklers on this team. Time and again he makes the perfect "squared up" stick in the open-field.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Somebody should point to the score board next time Allen wants to throw up the Shhh sign

How about when Golden does it? Should we still tell Allen or actually tell Golden? LOL I agree that when down 28 you walk quietly back to the huddle.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Allen is absolutely the biggest showboater I've ever seen at Penn State.

 

[richie83]

Really stupid 95. I agree

 

[Phil's Rug]

Barkley back in

 

[YorkCoLion]

Wow. I didn't know so many posters on BWI hated Franklin this much.

 

[83wuzme]

Need to get first downs. Barkley needs help

 

[butchnitt]

Post comments as replies.

Who was the idiot that called the play on 4th and 5 on the fifty when we can't even get one yard.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Well him too, just got home and seen Allen doing it.
