Yeah who the hell can settle for 6-0? Good Lord.

Great job boys. Allar is a slinger. It’s amazing to finally see a kid throw the ball into the middle of the field after the last couple of years. Good skill players on USC but the Nits gave up WAY too many big chunk plays. Something to clean up there for sure.
I think the wideouts are improving and they offer the opportunity to get it down the field. I think Fleming could be a good slot guy and I think his production will increase.
Great win, the boys earned it. My first reaction is that it’s silly to have these teams in the Big. This is going to cost Big teams some slots in the tourney. I can’t see most teams winning these trips.

Just checking in to say Ho. Lee. Fuke. What a game. Overcame a lot. Julian Fleming is forgiven. What a rollercoaster and blast to watch.
Oh I'll gladly take it and they showed a crap ton of heart and grit in that 2nd half after getting down. But if you're doing an objective analysis, you can't be blind to the consistency (or lack thereof) of the 6 first quarters this season. A team better coached than USC won't let us slide if they have us in that position. I'm not dumping on anyone's parade.
There are 2 teams on the field. Both have great athletes and some of the best coaches in the nation. Winning is hard. Did you watch Alabama the past 2 weeks?
It might better be described as an "alcohol-blood" content at that time.
man I am so glad that I wasn't in this thread until after the game
Only 6 games and I'm a pessimist by nature. But if someone tried to tell me PSU would be rated above Alabama and Georgia at this point, I'd have called them insane. I'm choosing to enjoy the moment.
Tuff to teach team in a look at me and pay me what I'm worth or I'm outta here sport.
A little payback for USC beating us in the Rose Bowl matchup.
Was trying to post on my phone during the game with difficulty at times. Then my video went out at 14 seconds left in the 4th and a couple seconds later my synced radio stream goes out. Had to watch the end in silence.
What a blood pressure raising, heart stopping game!
Finally a signature win for CJF. He needs to win a lot more of these type of contests to get into positive territory to truly earn the moniker of Big Game James.

You got that right. Especially when guys are checking out at the 3 & 4-game mark thinking that they're better than what they really are when they'll just screw some other team next year.
Offensively, yes. Unfortunately, his decision making in the final 2 minutes left a ton to be desired.
It’s amazing that some of the frequent posters who trash everything about PSU from the BOT, to the academic rankings, to the football team and Franklin are MIA tonight. I hope they are gnashing their teeth at the victory.
If PSU does what they are supposed to do, even if they lose to OSU, they are in a great position to not only make the playoffs, but host a playoff game. That should piss off the negative Nancys.
Just had to come on the board at nearly 9:00 to take an unprovoked shot at some fellow Penn Staters — and then come back 2 minutes later to do it again because once is not enough. Feel better now?
look, I am not saying it is going to happen but.....it would be a really cool year to beat Ohio St....not once....not twice....but three times
regular season, conference championship and playoff wins
not sure anyone could complain about that if it happened, so we could all join hands and sing kumbayah

There was a feeling in this one, for most of the first half and a few parts of the second, that the chickens had again come home to roost. Or at least been packed in the luggage compartment for the flight from—ahem—Harrisburg. Penn State was, once again, crapping the figurative bed against a...

I was at a function most of the evening and came on to enjoy the win with others at 7:18. If you fall into the group that throws a wet blanket on everything PSU then so be it. If you don’t like it, tough.
Because he didn't. I'd say the coaching was pretty even. If we worry more about starting off correctly instead of runway length, then James would have gotten the edge. Though, they did get screwed by that OPI and should have been up 7-0. Whether that changes the porous defense in the first half, who knows.
