I cannot get over how little we saw Pribula today. He came off the bench and led them to a comeback win last week. And as a reward? “Sit here and watch Drew lead the offense to two field goals and yet another loss.”

I don't understand the hurry up when we were 1st and goal on the 2. What's the hurry? What did it accomplish? Catch our own team off guard?

I thought we were one of the best tush push teams in the country. Where was it?

Would you have preferred that he just wing it into coverage and get it picked?
Preferred to eating those huge sacks? Yes. Being a good QB = throwing into tight coverage. Drew is way too conservative. Way too scared of making a mistake. Saw it last year against UM and OSU. Saw it again today. He gets in there against a decent team, and he is a deer in headlights.

And feel like they can legitimately beat them by playing an A game in most years. That hasn’t been the case in a lonngggg time.

That’s the most frustrating part. If PSU was completely out classed by OSU that would be 1 thing. If they played really well but just came up short to a better team then I think most can accept that. It’s the constant underperforming and poor performances in winnable big games that’s frustrating and drives people nuts.

I don’t understand why we did not line up Warren 4 times as qb, go 4 wide and play. You can’t tell me we could not have gained 3 yards.

OSU better in the trenches every yr we play them, is that better prospects, do they develop better, better in the weight rm etc.. but dominated every yr on both sides of the ball against them. I had no problem going quick, but damn you have to win your battle up front.

We loose these games years before the players ever get on the field. OSU gets better players and reloads, we pray we can rebuild. Our interior d line recruiting has been awful for years. I can’t tell you the last time we got a 5 star interior d lineman. Today’s game is about passing, we have WRs who combined for three catches today. Coaching malpractice to not find at least one guy who can get some separation. That’s we we struggle at the goal line, no one is afraid of any WR getting separation, so they can play loose and watch the run first.

Normally, I’d agree. But when a head coach is being paid an ungodly amount of money to win - and fails in spectacular fashion year after year for a decade - I think it’s more than OK to express displeasure.
I can understand that perspective. Would have preferred something like a 3 year deal for him but we're way past that now

Have a friend who’s a big benefactor. He’s at multiple practices and on the field , and he says James is looking to go . We shall see .
I hope he does...not cuz of just today. I want him to go some where he can recruit--he cant coach, he will be like Les Miles...prove to everyone here that coaching has a lot to do with success not just 5* recruits.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just be disciplined, and line up and play overpowering big boy, gutty, dominating football ?

The problem for him (JF), PSU and us is that there isn't another university willing to pay him what he's currently earning.

Thanks Sandy.
He had to do is let AK call the plays at the goal line....not hard.

And why he is so loathing is because he is so arrogant during post game press conferences and wont admit anything-thinks people ae stupid. Won't admit anything, that was me, that was my play calling and I made a mistake---would garner him some compassion and empathy SMFH
Thats what a real leader does.

Allar could have WALKED in down on the goal line!
Yep, bad read by him and bad read by Walker not following Vega on the 3rd down run. How do they not see what Vega did on the 2nd down play when he went in motion and realize, oh hey, maybe we should follow that guy?

Big, more than earned, money leads to complacency…happy just cruising along as above average…most happily settle for this? What ever happen to chase perfection and catch excellence along the way?

I missed the game. Had a rehearsal. This losing to Ohio State is getting old. UT I suppose it us who we are. Good enough to win most of the games on our schedule, but never bear the best teams on the schedule.
