WE need to get rid of AK and the $3 million wonder (Knowles) ASAP.
Official PSU - Indiana '25 game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
It cracks me up that his self proclaimed signature win is vs a Penn St team reeling on a 6 game losing streak, with an interim coach, without their starting QB and without maybe it s most important defensive player. Without Mendoza IU loses by double digits.
Whole ***-load of arrogant sh*t - asked before the game about Indiana never winning in Beaver Stadium he said ‘this team hasn’t played here yet.’
Yeah, I never, never pull for OSU or Michigan but might have to in this year's Indiana - OSU game. I just vomited after saying that. Can't stand that smug - arrogant a-hole. Cig-Indiana obviously has never heard the expression "act like you've been there before." He a total d-bag
His transfer portal guys are graduating this year, and whoever he offers next year will have other
coaching staffs right behind him.
He was too busy signing that cute card the guys were holding up on the sideline. That's the cancer that lack of discipline from a HC leads to.
Interesting stat . DDS sure woke up from his slumber yesterday . Post game he did own it that they had to stop the last drive and didn’t .
This was cool. Meanwhile 1 wondered off the field alone before the alma mater.
That's great and all ... but it's not accurate.
AK's biggest problem in the passing game was that most of his routes were long and long-developing ... and often bunched ... often with rubs/picks downfield.
He wouldn't use short-intermediate routes as much as he should have.
He'd use at/behind LOS screens and dumps and he'd use long-developing downfield patterns ... and since Grunk took over, he used the LOS passing game more ... but the suggestion that the deep game was missing is silly. It was part of the problem.
What was largely missing was crossers, drags, wheels, seams in space, etc. The 5-15 yard passing game was either missing or poorly conceived.
Exactly. That's why they came back with 17 unanswered to take the lead late in the game after being down to the #2 team in the nation ... because of Franklin, and of their "institutionalized" fear.
MacNit should be institutionalized.
There's no room for facts, logic and reason when there's Franklin bashing to be had.
These are the kinds of folks who trip over their own feet on the sidewalk and blame the crack that isn't there for doing it to them.
BTW…check out the Free For All site…the moron is saying you are being “outed”…. Whatever the hell that means
Joeaubie21, JohnJumba, JoeJohn and his latest Chumboshifko1… the nic switching hypocrite…narrowed it down for ya!
Ah ... that guy's just a disaster. There's obviously something not right there ... drugs? Some kind of actual disorder/defect? Whatever it is, the dude isn't all there.
It's why you guys struggle this year. Bad luck as well.
I guess for me the agonies of defeat outlast the thrills of victory.
I’ve been told I’m a negative person.
#25 was on the field at LB for 2 of the 3 drives of the game and was noticeably faster and the D was ferocious.
the last drive it was #0.
Indiana’s final drive had 10 plays.
#25 played 6 snaps. #0 played 2 snaps (and blitzed both of them).
I was already pretty worked up about the game and when he came off so douchey on the field after I immediately shut it off. First thing I thought was the same thing, and it’s probably coming the first weekend of December.
Some crazy maths about recent losses . Need to call a priest about an exorcism after the season . Clean up all those demons .
Right. This is what compounds the frustration: everyone can see the problem! You got Ham on the radio begging them to throw a mid-range pass over the middle of the field. And like you said here: they have nothing to lose by playing aggressive.
Even when Grunk threw the pick earlier in the game, I immediately said, "I'd rather have him make that mistake than have ultra-conservative play-calling that makes it clear they're scared to screw up and so they're not even going to try."
How many times have we seen it -- not just this year, but over Franklin's entire tenure -- Penn State in a 3rd-and-long situation and they throw a pass for 2 yards. I've never seen any other program run moronic plays like that with such consistency. Throw to the stick!

Did I say that the design of the deep routes is good?
No. No, I did not.
And nothing you said contradicted what I said, so...

Point is don’t hand off. Have the QB handle it. He’s the brains of the offense. With 1:47 left in the 4th QTR and on Indiana’s 14, and with Indiana having only 1 TO, they could have knelt three straight times and kicked a FG with about three seconds left. This isn’t hard. Sure - Ford taking a knee at the one doesn’t seem hard either but play the smart play.

Exactly .... JF played not to lose instead of playing to win. He was so afraid of turnovers that he stifled the PSU offense for his entire tenure at PSU. I would rather a coach play to win, I prefer to go down swinging rather than praying the other team makes a mistake. Cost JF his position here at PSU.
Math. My head is spinning. Thanks for taking the time to work that.
