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?
Penn State 17-15 over Maryland in 86 was very annoying.
The difference back then is when we had bad games against **** teams I always knew joe would have them ready for the big dogs, especially when he had time to prepare. Penn State used to be where heisman winners went to die.

OSU is not a good benchmark for this PSU team, IMO. They are better across the board and we play them in Columbus.

Win the rest (including Oregon) and make the playoff. Take your chances there.
I’m on record we lose O and OSU and get knocked out of the final 4. We beat V AT HOME in the same crap fashion as today and O curb stomps their next 2 teams, I may have to adjust. If one more person brags on here about beating FIU by 34 I’m gonna freak out

In today’s postgame PRESSER. o_O , Franklin talked about rotating a lot of guys on offense and defense versus FIU. He further said that this would not happen to the same extent later in the season, which would be expected given the better competition that we will be up against.

Do you think that rotating a lot of guys in and out was a significant factor in today’s suckery?

Disagree. That game is in Columbus and we all know how those games in the past has turned out
The past is in the past. I’m worried about the present and the future. I like us against OSU this year. Think we’ll handle them. By 2 tuddies. If we’re taking a regular season L, it will be against Oregon. But I’m not predicting that L just yet.

We won 34-0. Works for me!

I hope you're right but Vegas has us as a 4 to 5 point underdog - against OSU - and they deal with the present and future more than you or me

OSU is curb stomping a team better than fiu
O is curb stomping a team better than fiu
TEX is curb stomping etc etc
kinda what I’m talking about
The translation property doesn’t mean anything in sports. At all. And Grambling is better than FIU? Put down the bottle pal

Vegas is wrong all the time. Vegas is only relevant if you’re placing bets … against Vegas.

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
Who cares what they’re doing….unless we’re all playing the same team, then it means absolutely nothing. Guess what, last week FIU played a team the same level OSU is playing and they beat them 42-9, so it’s apples and oranges.

So what you’re talking about is lies? Sweet. FIU would curbstomp Grambling. Texas won by slightly less than we did today, against a similar skill level squad.

And, the transitive property isn't a thing in college football. Knock it off.

Bro it ain’t buffalo. Anyone get frost bit? Any concussions smacking the back of the heads on frozen concrete.? 25mph winds? u soft as F damm
conditions were perfect for football
Rain is never perfect for passing the football. And you trash the team when they don’t play perfect in horrible weather, so it doesn’t really matter.

So “no translation” then the grambling comment…..hmmmm
"Like, OMGerd, Georgia is beating Austin Peay 28-6 with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter?! Like, G beating AP by that much is totes not even stomping of the curb. As if. My name is LsL and I suck big fat D at posting about State. And, like, I drove sober once, even after midnight, so I know how to personally scout, bro. And this one time my kids played lax in high school, so ... you know ... like football or something. Do you even lax, bro? Wait, where am I, dude?"

If anyone can tell me how this team improved from week one to week two I'm all ears (and eyes to read the comments). Based on today it is my opinion this team is going to have a very difficult time hanging with Oregon.

The running game looked a lot better.

Coach Franklin is busy with re-tweets. This team regressed today and no amount of re-tweets will brush it under the rug.
We played a much better team today and shut them out, plus we gained over 200 yards on the ground, and won by almost the same point difference, yet we regressed? Oh good lord.

The White Out in a couple of weeks could be ugly. This team is not a #2 team in the country.

A lot of “good” teams didn’t roll-it up today against weak teams and yes many of our fans are whiney birches - wah we didn’t win by 100 and now have no shot against anyone left on our schedule.

You see a team today that can beat O? I’m uninterested in beating fishes
So every team should just pack up and quit because of how Oregon looked in game 2, got it. Last year, Tennessee started off winning 69-3, 51-10, and 71-0 and nobody was going to touch Tennessee….how’d that work out?
