Official PSU - Oregon '25 Game thread

I explained it in my post. If you’re a neutral fan, which roster and coaching staff would you take today?
I’ll wait. And I bet if you surveyed CFB fans who don’t support either team, then it would be 80%+ for Oregon.
And for the double OT logic, would you say Virginia is a better program and team than FSU?
Yes, because the other team has nothing to do with how you do. You should be able to do whatever you want regardless of who you’re playing.
Prove Oregon eased up. That‘s nonsense. There was a ton of time on the clock. You really think a coach like Lanning eases up?
Anybody would take Oregon’s roster because they have way more money. They may be the best team in the country. But losing to the best team in the country in double OT means you’re pretty close to the best team in the country.
Earlier this year I said we’d handle OSU easily. I still think that.
I’ll leave all the doomsday stuff to the sad people.
Fair. First-time starter not a freshman. He was still very impressive tonight. Oregon may be better than last year’s team.
80% sounds like an exaggeration but I saw two fan polls today, one was 75% Oregon and the other was 80% Oregon.
Yeah. No easing up from that dbag Lanning. His skinny pants were getting pretty tight in the fourth quarter and OT.
I’ll appreciate what you said, but I humbly ask that you consider an otherwise harmless emotional (actually more numb) posting after yet another in a long line of close losses in big games not the worst conceivable sin of fandom.
I’ve defended Drew in the past, especially after repeated losses to Ohio St and Michigan when he was younger, but enough is enough. He’s not a young qb anymore.
Can you please, please converse like an adult? The ‘yo’ and ‘whatevs’ and referring to yourself in 3rd person is ridiculous. The schtick is one I assume nobody on here finds tolerable.
Except Oregon doesn’t recruit better players. They shop the portal better. It’s one of the things I’ve really come to dislike about college football.
I didn't say you should love it or be happy
All of our goals are very much alive though
I knew a lot of guys like him in high school…the difference is they all grew up.
I looking and looking for some fvcks to give you but got nothin
my suggestion is to ignore me like I ignore Jim the math guy
At the same time, Franklin has been here since 2014 and has resources. Why is Allar being outplayed by a first-year starter? Why doesn’t PSU have similar elite talent?
After 11 years, the program should represent better than it did tonight. Allar with 69 yards passing in the 1st half and looking lost with bad mechanics. Then the horrible pick at the end.
Exactly! Money drives talent in this age. PSU hasn’t committed to playing at that level so they’re not on it.
And Oregon isn’t the best team in the country. At least I don’t think so.
This is why we PSU fans shouldn’t take these losses so hard. It’s why we are batting like 16% against top teams. It’s not a fair fight.
Agree, I thought Oregon may be better this year. Moore is better than Gabriel, and that’s not easy to do.
If a pathetic 0-4 UCLA team pulls off an upset next week all hell will break loose.
You’re obsessed with Franklin’s genitalia, and man on man love. And it comes out when you’re drinking and emotional.
Work that out on your own time.
This is actually very funny, like “nice Prius said by no one ever” lol cheers bro
I’m not trying be difficult here, just a conversation. He is in his third year of college. He started at UCLA his freshman year and played in 9 games. I think he was benched for poor play. The redshirt year seems to have helped a lot because, as you said, he is very good. He was a very highly recruited 5 star QB.
The short answer is because the PSU AD tolerates it. I think Franklin wants to play moneyball. But Penn State has been slow to go all in.
Knowles hiring was the first time we saw them move their chips to the middle of the table. They need a better organized NIL program next.
Done with your tongue washing already? The game barely ended. Aren't you oxygen deprived ?
I have mixed feelings. You should have been negative about our play for 3 qtrs. There's no reason why Northwestern should have a better offensive performance vs Oregon than PSU did. The good news is that we got punched in the mouth and responded. Allar was a warrior in the 4th qtr until he wasn't.
I hope this loss made us tougher but I'm not at all happy with our offensive game plan. Designed plays are slow and easy to defend. Allar is a lot better when we play fast. Everything is so slow when he's trying to run the designed plays. Bottom line is I don't think the staff helps him.
30 pts - miss
Win TOs - miss
I hear you. First time starter in Oregon’s offense. This also shows how important overall roster talent is.
His supporting cast at Oregon is likely head and shoulders better than at UCLA. That also helps him play better.
Nike money. They’ve got a lot more. Adidas money comIng.
