About 6 weeks ago I got hammered for even suggesting that Yurcich have a package for Pribula… just to have DC’s have to prepare for something different. Blasphemy!
Start Pribula so Pennsyltucky can have a good ole circle jerk.

Why does the clock run after BOTH going out of bounds AND assessing a penalty?

Same old....same old. PSU under Franklin continues to beat itself.

I'm glad I don't expend any money on PSU Football Inc.

Why the **** did Franklin get an extension?
Why is Yurcich still on the staff?
Why have we not seen Pribula?
Why do we not have receivers who can get open against a weak OSU defensive backfield?

Getting ready for the post game presser. Take a drink every time Franklin says “obviously”

For thought purposes, when does it become practical to think about buying out Franklin? Two years? Three?

Ten years in, he’s not going to get it and turn the corner. Yes, we can do worse, but better to rotate through a few coaches and at least try to find the next truly good PSU coach.

I can not get over going for that 4th down. Haven’t converted a single 3rd down in the entire game and go for a 4th down that will cost you game if you don’t make it. Just unbelievably stupid.

Too bad they can’t score
They did. They took it back.
I ran the numbers before but if you applied the CFP format during Paterno’s tenure he makes it like a dozen times. Joe stopped recruiting and was loyal to his guys in the 00’s and the program stagnated. Franklin makes infinitely more money and recruits better than Joe ever made/did and doesn’t have 2 NCs to give fans happy memories of seasons past when the team is down. Expectations are higher and it’s much easier to play for a NC these days. Franklin is alone amongst peers with zero CFP opportunities despite his record and accomplishments.
That’s great, but the facts remain. Paterno was 2-9 vs Carr, 3-8 vs Ferentz, 3-6 vs Tressel. I don’t know what his record vs top 15 teams were during the last decade but it wasn’t good. You could also argue that Penn State didn’t have as difficult a schedule during the independent years that gave them the two NCs. I don’t think it’s easier to play for a NC today. Not when you are in the same division as OSU and UM. Does something need to change? ABSOLUTELY! But throwing barbs at Franklin when we sat silently satisfied for a decade or more of mediocrity seems hypocritical, no?

3rd & 11, and a TD to Harrison on a crossing route

With the PAT, it's 20-6, tOSU, with 4:07 left in the game

And PSU has the RB behind the LOS on 1st down, but a facemark on ?? (Curtis Jacobs, I think)

That puts tOSU in FG range
Coaching….Coaching….Coaching….one coached and game planned to keep it close….the other coached to be a bit more aggressive with an obvious end result. One Coach trusted his QB in the 2nd half ….one….not so much. Very predictable outcome IMO.Game plan like this vs Meat Chicken and we get crushed.

Franklin’s body language on the sideline pisses me off. He doesn’t care about winning. He is a loser. Fanboys open your eyes.

Gus Johnson can take that maserati **** and shove it up his ***.

And again, how the hell do you not have a corner on Harrison on crossing patterns???? Kobe King covering him?? LOL
