Me watching every big Penn State football game:
Official PSU - Oregon '25 Game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
We probably won't have high expectations next year or the year after given our recent recruiting.
Reasons we SHOULD have high expectations:
$700 million stadium upgrade
Possibly the bet fans and atmosphere in college football
Very high paid staff
Not proud of myself for the negativity during the game thread. Bad read on the INT. But, he led a gutsy comeback when they were written off (me included). Still think AK has to add some different flavors to Dairy Queen blizzard, or maybe just order a traditional one. Disappointed the defense couldn't get a stop, but they were on the field way too long for the first 3 quarters. Oh well, on to UCLA. 1 game at a time. Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it. Can't wait for next week.
Dante Moore is a fantastic quarterback.

Never too soon to to be a good sport.

Not only was the play calling bad, but the execution too. Honestly, I think the squad lacks emotional leadership and fortitude. With so many upper classmen, it blows my mind.
At some point, the staff needs to figure out what they can do well, and call those plays.
So, it’s Franklin, Kotelnicki, Knowles, Allar, Singleton, the defense as a whole …
If those guys were all better, we might have won?
All those guys gathered together, full of awfulness, and we still had a tie score at the end of regulation. Imagine if just one of them was competent, amirite?
And if they all didn’t suck, we’d win by a million bajillion points.

for the negativity. Ever play sports?
And let’s not forget that Oregon had the same number of points that we had at the end of the game….i guess their team sucks too.
Oregon’s All B1G kicker makes that first FG and they win. We can do this all night.
Oregon was better for most of the game on both lines. Their freshman QB outplayed our senior, 3-year starter. On the road. And their skill guys on offense are all elite talents, albeit young.
They are a dynamite team. There’s no shame in not being at that level. Great teams win these games at home.
The offense was not effective for 3.5 quarters. They came back but fell a little short. They have the talent. Wish the first 3.5 quarters could have been just a little more effective.
Ill be shocked if they do. This team doesn't have the mental fortitude to do that.
The fumble was strange. The live play showed the ball clearly come out but the replay from a different angle showed he was down.
But as far as who outplayed who:
Total offense: Oregon 424, PSU 276
First Downs: Oregon 20, PSU 15
Possession: Oregon 34 min, PSU 26 min
Turnovers: Oregon 0, PSU 1
How can you say B.S.?
Well, no … they’re awesome. It’s just that everyone affiliated with PSU is awful. Which is why we tie the awesome teams at the end of regulation. #loserlogic
We don't have Oregon's NIL money. Our chance was that we had more experience and we were at home.
I do. I played sports. They gave it their all. You don’t go negative under those circumstances. It’s just bad management.
His introductory press conference describing his offense.
Honestly, I'm not even that mad--I was angrier when it was 17-3 but we came back and showed signs of life--now we have to fix a lot of things before we play Ohio State
Agreed--right now it really wasn't that bad--we're still clearly going to be ranked in the top 10--get to work
This is not rocket science stuff. Anyone who watched this game could clearly see that Oregon was the better team. They were more physical, faster and simply bigger than the Nits. And they made plays when they needed them. They certainly deserved to win. I'm not going to find fault with our team for losing to a better team. We simply need to recruit better players and be better. Bottom line.

Yep. Someone just needs to photoshop Franklin’s head on Lucy for it to be complete.Me watching every big Penn State football game:
Yup. Only reason why we even had a chance was Oregon started to ease up way too early and Drew had nothing to lose after throwing up on his shoes for 3 1/2 quarters. Oregon was clearly the better team. Better offensive and defensive game plans, better QB, better receivers.
Should Oregon fire Lanning because Penn State came back and Oregon needed an interception to win?
You done scrubbing Franklin's jock already? Your tongue must be quick.
Moore is a redshirt sophomore at his second school and sat behind Gabriel last year redshirting.
How the f do you come out failing to execute for 3 qtrs when you had 2 weeks to prepare. Maybe the helicopter trips to high schools are interfering with the actual job of coaching.
And what was the score at the end of regulation. So if you’re right, than Oregon’s head coach should be fired for letting up on a weak opponent.
