Official PSU - NW '25 Game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I suspect Allar has a fractured ankle by looking at the post-traumatic edema (swelling) as he was carted off. If not, he has a severe sprain, likely season ending.
You're like the author of "obvious" fortune cookies.
This is a bad team with poor talent and worse coaching.
Don't even have words after this one. Jesus, we just lost to Northwestern
Very possible. It's like the staff and team are purposely trying
I can't emphasize enough how incompetent and inept the offensive coordinator is. He first showed his true nature when he went 3 & out with the lead and 8 minutes to go against Notre Dame. Nothing sets anything else up. There is no offensive identity. The passing tree is awful.
On another note, I'd really like to know how many 3 & outs the defense has forced vs. Oregon, UCLA & Northwestern.
In this day & age, recruiting means little. It's how well you can manipulate the transfer portal.
Fire Kotelnicki and Trautwein tonight. Send a message.
While his gameplay has been subpar, I hope he recovers quickly. Penn State's problems are not Allar, it are those who put him in a position to fail.
Sometimes you have to just say F-it and start completely over!!
Penn State becomes first FBS team in last 30 years to lose consecutive games as at least a 20-point favorite
Penn State lost for the second consecutive week as a favorite of at least 20 points

Maybe the ducks will fire their coach or trade him to State for Franklin?!?
This game makes me question if Coach James Franklin lost control of the team. It sure seems that way to me. No one can doubt the talent on that Penn State sideline, but what you can doubt is the preparation and a lack of urgency.
We Are ,,,, a steaming pile of horse chit
Lando be damned. Indiana is very well coached
Warm and fuzzy , coddling , entitlement doesn't work in ....... football .
Very true. At this point, keeping Franklin is going to tank recruiting and put the program back by years.
I get the buyout is ridiculous (thanks again Sandy) but they’re at a crucial crossroads now. If PSU got back on the winning path they’d clearly run out the clock with Franklin for a few more years but now they’re looking at a minimum of 5 losses (likely more).
Watch the decommits pile up this week. At this point, the program is in a complete free fall death spiral.
Again I've said nothing negative about him other than he had yet to win a big game. Never once said or implied he wasn't good.
All I said, no major program is bringing in someone who will be 65 and has never coached an elite program. It won't happen.
