Are there still fans that want both Clifford and Franklin back next season? You’re not tired of this show yet?

Hilarious. Announcers are desperate to come up with a reason for running out the clock there. "Maybe they want to go in and come out with their heads out their *sses."

Offense doesn't even try to score bf half-time.

For whatever reason, they refuse to return a kcik-off.

Crap, we only took 2 timeouts into the half. Franklin probably thinks we'll only get 2 to start the second half. Also, I thought it was a good strategy to call the timeout with 3 seconds till half ad than take a knee. He was able to keep their defense out there a little longer so maybe they'll get tired.

Clifford can be serviceable. Franklin appears to inspire so little. He can have 22 5 star starters and he still won't get it done. Until then, he just complains that we don't have this or that to get the 5 star guys... How about he try winning?

I am so tired of hearing announcers saying how much talent we have. It has become such a hollow description. Because it "obviously" means nothing on the field.

This program is in trouble gang. Can we finally put the “Franklin to X” rumors to rest. He isn’t going anywhere.

Offense with one good drive in the first half, a lot of stalls, once again relying on the D to pitch a shutout. Not exactly a formula for success.

I have been a Franklin guy but that was just a bizarre ending to the half. Why are we not trying to get points?? I do believe I cannot watch him again next year....

Franklin gets paid 6 million a year to not even try for 3 points with 3 timeouts left? And he has the gall to want everyone in state college put on notice that he’ll take his ball go somewhere else if they don’t fork over another 100 million for facility improvements .

Maybe he is trying to take it easy on his buddy since Penn State has such a commanding lead in this blowout.

Not hurrying before half was a great strategy to make Maryland realize that we knew we wouldn't need any more points. Franklin probably hasn't yet figured out that they get the ball to start the 2nd half.

Team just isn’t good. Bottom line.
We had a fragile situation. We had a few players who could not get hurt. Clifford and PJ were at the top of the list.

Since JF has been here we have only been successful on offense with QB being major part of run game. We now have QB who cannot run and cannot throw. I bet right now if you ran a competition on the this team to see who could throw the longest pass, Clifford might not be in the top 5. We do not have a backup QB so no fix.

What in the world was that? I don’t mind running the ball there to milk some clock, but once the ball was at the 40, need to take a couple of shots to get in FG range. You had all three TOs

This. I was flabbergasted they didn't call a TO after making the last first down.
