If they don't get a TD on the first possession in the 2nd half this game is gonna get out of hand

At least he's showing some emotion on the sideline. It beats standing there like a mannequin when things aren't going.
Oh...I was wondering what we were missing with Franklin....emotion. nevermind that he and his staff can't coach their way out of a paper bag.

Can they please just come out throwing the ball down the field. You have nothing to lose. I’d rather see them go 3 and out atleast being aggressive throwing down the field then running Allen into a brick wall the first 2 downs and then get blitzed into an oblivion on an obvious passing 3rd down.

The most likely scenario:

1st down: KA run, 3 yds
2nd down: KA run, -1yd
3rd down: sack or complete for <5yds
4th down: punt

Welp. Can't fault them for not trying. I'd rather have that pick than the scared play calling we've been seeing all season.

Grunk goes deep down the middle, but Ross was well covered by IU, and it's incomplete

2nd: pass to Hudson, tipped, and IU with an INT

so much for you guys that wanted PSU to take their chances down the field

Nice! Throwing behind receivers is all we’ve got apparently?

I see why they don’t throw the ball down field now. Got it. Off to clean the garage.

gotta save my energy for the Sixers tonight. Much like Obi Wan, they are my only hope (sports wise).

Why are you throwing to a PSU receiver that has 4 (4!!!!) defenders on him? WTH. The receivers also don’t have much fight in them. They seem to give up easily.

Just laughable how much holding there allowing the Indiana OL to do. How about the non-called clearly illegal blind-side block? Then of course you have the laughable ticky-tack Defensive holding they call on PSU on 3rd Down after they had sacked IU QB (but somehow they miss IU OL doing blatant holding on PSU defenders) - this league is such a joke.

Did you see Terry Smith yelling at the Referee that it was about time they called early motion on the IU OL who has been moving early over and over again with no flags.

If Grunk is just going to heave it downfield for anyone to grab, we may as well just put one of those t-shirt launchers back there at QB and save the roster spot and NIL money.

I believe it was Whittier who said..."Of all sad words of white and blue, the saddest are these, we were once #2.'"

Some might say we are still #2.

IU goes for it on 4th & 1, and it doesn't appear that they made it

So the official on the near side (closest to the play) ruled him short, and the official on the far side ruled that he got a 1st. So, they are going to video review.

After review, the ruling is upheld, and the 1st down is given. smh

I hate the constant use of Ozzy Osbourne's, "All aboard!" in the stadium, but it's especially obnoxious in a season like this.

Has every sport in America filed for a blanket protection order against you, on behalf of their refs?

They’re losing this game either way I’d prefer them to go down swinging. 34-10 and 48-10 is the same. Keep running Kaytron for 2 ypc and not opening up the passing game and Grunk will never figure it out and we’ll probably lose the rest of our games the same exact way.

Maybe they’re just trying to protect the QB since we don’t have a backup but right now INTs don’t mean much.
