Wow......3 of my all time favorite QBs. They certainly are a different type of athlete than Drew etc. But most of all.....they were tremendous leaders, exuding confidence and fearless. Those guys imposed their will on the offense.
The jury is out?
How many times did Moore run on Saturday? He basically handed the ball off and completed short passes to the flat. How many times.has Carson Beck run this season for Miami? He basically runs an old-fashioned power running offense which PSU should be running. I also haven’t seen OSU’s qb run much, and he was great at Washington last week. Allar probably has more rushing yards than all of those QBs.
This...well said. Moore would transfer in 30 seconds if he had to run our offense.
by playing COMPLEMENTARY. FOOTBALL. to ensure that we win the MIDDLE. EIGHT. .Moore ended up with 10 carries on the game with many on 3rd or 4th down where he ended up picking up the 1st down and extending the drive.
Gotta love that Coach Speak.But we need EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.
I understand, but Moore isn’t there to be a glorified running back or to do what Pribula was asked to do for much of last season. I believe that he’s 6 feet 3 and he’s going to be a traditional qb when he goes to the NFL, and he basically ran a pro style offense on Saturday.
Obviously….But we need EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.
We are not disagreeing with each other. Regardless of the intent, the system does not seem to synch up well with these 'pro-style' QBs we're bringing in, or their skill set isn't synching with the 'system'. Either way it isn't working.
But we need EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.
The funniest thing about that is that we actually need more 6 and 7 yard plays than we do explosive playsBut we need EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.
Maybe Daryll Clark? He's the best QB PSU has had since... Daryll Clark! Love Trace, but I'd take Daryll any day.
This shiite is getting old. Asked early on in Franklin's tenure what we thought of his coaching, we always answered he is a great recruiter and seems to be getting the pieces in place but in game coaching is yet to be proven. Guess what, in game coaching, game planning, has not gotten better over the past 10-11 years. I really want Franklin to be successful but we are seeing over and over again he doesn't seem to be trying to figure out ways of getting from pretty good to great/elite.But we need EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.
I agree. From what I see, our passing routes take too long to develop, and also Allar does take too long to process what is open and how quickly he needs to throw the pass.
Finally time for the last of the straggler fanboys to give up the ghost. If 11 years is not enough time, what is? 15? 20?
The trouble is that if OSU had played their normal game against that Oregon team in a night game at Ohio Stadium, they probably would've beaten them. That's a good to very good Oregon team, but I don't think that they're as good as they were last season, especially at this point.
Just remember, if you ain't first, you're last.
Well, I'm a two back person, but I know that that's become so 1980s. What I would do is get Allar under center, have the o-line line up with wider gaps to create natural running lanes and have them use their size to their advantage and eliminate the complex blocking schemes, run mostly Allen in between the tackles and possibly use a tight end as a blocking back, throw quick passes to Singleton out of the backfield, run pass patterns for receivers that put them in position to run after the catch and don't require a lot of time (with these patterns, the ball should be out in less than 5 seconds if even that), use the middle of the field with tight ends, and establish a screen game. As I've said, I'd also reduce the play book significantly (how ridiculous is that Allar has to look at a wristband before every play; if he has to do that, you're making it unnessarily complex).
The buyout is the problem. Krafty is decisive and I am sure big money boosters are murmuring or chattering but he is still owed about $60 million.
No way Franklin gets 5 or 6 years like this, buyout be damned. If Kraft is to be believed, and he is "ALL IN" on winning championships in football, then Franklin is on the clock now. I'm telling you, Kraft can't possibly listen to a chorus of "Fire Franklin" in Beaver stadium for the next 5 years, impossible. If we lose to Iowa when the team returns to the Beave, that stadium is going to be a morgue. The fanbase has already conceded OSU is an impossibility(rightfully), so that Indiana game at home is the new inflection point. Franklin loses to Indiana and he will not have Kraft's protection much longer.
He ran a, my first start away, dont mess it up offense. Short quick passes that psu was willing to give.
Moore didn’t run much, but he was mobile enough to get outside the pocket and make plays. Several times he was chased from the pocket but was able to extend the play, find an open receiver, and move the sticks. A few of those plays were backbreaking for us. That’s not a run, but it’s a play that a running QB makes. Allar can’t usually do that.
We are a good team that doesn't seem to be able to get over the hump to be a great/elite team - I guess many are tired of being also ran's but we should be careful of what we wish for - not that many good teams got great after firing their coach thinking it would ne an upgrade.
