My heart can't really take these mental mistakes..If he plays another down this game, well,shows no one left on the bench.
My advice is to not get too emotionally attached to any sports team. Be a bandwagon fan....it's far healthier.
True but the frustration is teams like UCLA and Northwestern shouldn't be coming down the 4th quarter. Sure, UCLA may have been a let down after the Oregon loss but there's no excuse for this one.
Who is melting down the fastest, the team or the fan base?
I'm ready for a coaching change as much as the next guy. But there's been way too many player flubs: dropped punt, dropped passes, penalties, INT, etc. to expect a good outcome. They just seem at times to be unprepared, undisciplined, and unmotivated.
lol--it's close but the team I think. Seems like most of the fans have accepted this is just Franklin
Didn't I see the NCAA will allow players to bet on sports now? I think our players did the same
The fact you are making that statement in a home game against Northwestern kinda says it all though
I don't understand playing 2 LBs against a run team. We only have 1 proven DT so we need LBs.
That falls on the coaching IMO
I unagree--they were completely unmotivated in the first 3 games--how'd Franlkin allow that?
The allegedly prepared for the onside kick and that was the execution? Why was Lane back out there on the next kickoff
They had all offseason to build a scheme around a power run game and play action passing and didn't.
NW has 1st & goal at the PSU 9:
1st: run for 1. Collins comes in to make the stop
2nd: stopped as we've reached the end of the 3rd qtr
2nd: incomplete pass
NW's WR is down -- looks to be a cramp
3rd: sacked by Fisher at the PSU 23!!!
Fisher and DDS were both after him. He tripped on his own, and then Fisher touched him.
41-yard FG attempt by NW ....
is good. 16-14, NW, with 14:08 left in the game

You will never sell me that they don't have another viable LB on that bench. Simply not possible.
Probably shouldn't have said frustrated maybe more animated is a better choice of words
I agree with you but it sure feels that they believe that. No idea why we didn't hit the portal harder for LBs
They will be portalling at the end of the season.
The whole thing is embarrassing--the coaching staff just flat out refuses to adapt. I've never seen anything like this at this level
Stubbornness, unwilling to admit/adjust. That is poor coaching.
It’s comical seeing Allar “rack up” another set of below average stats (he’s made a career of it) yet be defended as if he’s really Peyton Manning saddled with a supporting cast and coaching staff that are a combination of F Troop and the Three Stooges. The coaches and the teammates may be lousy and deserving of those monikers, but Allar is a combination of Corporal Agarn and Shemp. Yes, I’m old — Google the references if necessary. Translation: The coaches and the OL and receivers may not be good, but neither is Allar.
Northwestern is scrappin'. Time fo PSU to tighten up the chinstraps and play smashmouth from here on out.
NW's KO is into the endzone. the PSU returner (Hotzworth) starts to take a knee, then elects to run it out, and is tackled at the 9.
that's beyond idiotic
that's beyond idiotic
9-16 for 63 yards and an INT is pretty below average in this day and age. It might have been acceptable the first year of the forward pass.
