Official PSU - FIU game thread

Like dropping in the polls would really mean anything. Make em unranked at this point. Who cares? Those numbers don't mean anything anymore.
My son played baseball and basketball through high school and played baseball in college. I never thought beating a weak team by any score translated to beating a championship level team….every game is different. My son’s teams would play a stinker of a game against a bad team then turn around and beat a good team all the time. That’s sports…playing poorly in one game doesn’t mean you’re going to play poorly in the rest of your games. I would think you would figure that out watching your sons play.
The Eagles were doomed. PSU is doomed.
Relax and enjoy the entertainment.
You don't get extra points for predicting doom and being right.
Has nothing to do with the bar, the poster said FIU gave up 42 points to Bethune Cookman. You do realize we won 34-0, right? You’re posting as if we lost.
Penn State punting today - the good and the bad.
The good - averaged over 50 yards per punt with a long of 67 yards.
The bad - they had to punt. Three times.
Another interesting stat today - Penn State had 409 yards of offense, a nice number to have.

I'm fine with today's game. They don't all have to be dominant blowouts from the start. It's going to be OK. You can continue crying about your blue hens and Franklin, and we can continue to laugh at you. Everyone's happy.
Huh? Where did I predict doom in today’s game thread? I’m one of the people preaching reason. Nobody associated with PSU will say they played well today. They’ll get better.
What did we do well today, super curious.please don’t say we won, it makes you look like you don’t have any feel for the sport.
There is no sugarcoating the first two weeks vs two absolutely awful teams. Quoting the final scores is not telling the story. This was a 10-0 game at the half. Allar looked like 2023 Allar. Wrs had trouble getting separation like it was 2024. The OL has not yet been dominant. I am as big of a fan as any of you and was at the game today. That was 2-3 loss team on the field today.
You happy with today’s performance vs 1aa FIU? not me. I’m looking at O, are you looking at V? smh
Notre Dame LOST to Northern Illinois last year. Also, they “only” beat Miami of Ohio by 28-3. I just can’t get too upset about these beginning of the year games. PSU is a great team this year. How do these unimportant games change it?
The D pitched a shut out and had some important takeaways. The pass rush was generally very good. Allen busted a big run late to put the game away.
This could take the place of "Heisman" underneath your avatar and moniker.
PSU has a chance to be a great team. They have to play well and earn that label. Preseason rankings mean nothing.
I think today’s game is good in the long term. There will be no breathing their own fumes this week. They have some things to work on but off of a 34-0 win. That’s a good position to be in. It should keep them hungry.
The defense looked good especially the DLine. Allar had a beautiful deep ball with a great catch. We had 0 turnovers. The running game looked much better and Allen had a great run. Chaz Coleman looked great and gives us another weapon if teams want to double team Sutton. The kicker hit two field goals and the punter looked incredible. We blocked a punt. We forced two turnovers including an almost scoop and score. And we won 34-0 while not playing our best game. How could you possibly watch that game and see nothing good? Apparently your expectations are unattainable.
I read the same thing after week 2 last year. We weren’t going to make the playoffs because we only beat Bowling Green by 7.
You do realize that how a team does in one game does not carry over to another game, right?
#2 team in the country should curb stomp weaklings, you can’t convince me otherwise. After a huge dirty win v a 10 team on the road week 7, I can accept playing flat v northwestern the next week. Hopes are high this year, rankings high, weather is perfect, 100% health, no excuses you come out flat AT HOME week 2. I can think of a possible problem off the top of my head, leadership
The weather was not perfect unless you think rain is perfect. And I don’t think there’s ever been a NC team that didn’t have a couple of less than stellar games throughout the season.
Simple laK, you keep staring at letters. I'm going to enjoy some more football.
I have the maturity level and familiarity with the game to not get worked up over the outcome of one game ... one way or the other.
Of course, you're so locked into your anti-Franklin nuttiness, that nothing reasonable will get through your noggin ... which is why you enjoy every time we don't race out to a 24-0 lead and win 70-0.
PSU had an amazing season last year, coming within a play of winning every single game and being in the Natty game ... and we didn't absolutely destroy every team we *should* have. This happens to just about every single team, every single year, even if they're incredibly successful.
But you keep acting like a bitter, spoiled child who got into his father's liquor cabinet, and see if that makes you happy.
Sigh. When you beat 10 sister Mary poors, what’s the big deal. You going to the office Monday “we beat FIU 34 zip AWESOME
True enough. Great teams but they knew how to torture the fans.
What’s O doing? What’s OSU doing? You cant cherry pick stats beating (but not curb stomping) a Mary poor. Of course we smoked FIU of course we did
I was on campus 82-86 yo. Carried goal posts up college ave and everything for the glory. In the end zone right in front of the nebraska td. Questions?
