Thank the Lord for Halftime. At least we get a break from the misery.

This is a new low, even by Franklin standards. One has to wonder if he’s trying to get fired. Things are that bad right now.
Absolute clown show 1st half. Can't believe how badly the coaching staff prepped for this game and the lack of effort on the part of the team.

Surprised that JF didn't spontaneously combust live on the field after saying that line, along with, "we need to settle down. They just have to settle down a little more'. Dude you had a whole half to settle down, if they aren't by now, they never will.
Love those burgers so much
This is the absolute worst I have seen Penn State play against a significantly weaker opponent in my lifetime.
Got to say I'm really down on the 2 LB 5 DB defense. We're not getting any pressure. Teams run on this front and the opposing QB has time to pick apart the soft coverage D. Is it coaching? I thought Knowles was such a great DC. I know Rojas is out but...
If we somehow win this, drop us to around top 20. If we lose, drop us out of the top 25.
Watching the game for much of the first half (Verizon is crapping as much as PSU), I got the strong feeling that this team quit well before it was 27-7.
Franklin has PSU by the short hairs. The buyout is obscene. If he had any sense of shame, he would resign or agree to a reasonable buyout. he won't.

Good point. He seems more disconnected than usual.
This smells like a nail-in-the-coffin game.

Bad Illinois ran for 367 in State College a few years ago.
This would be right there.
For all the talent they have, this is just too ridiculous. So obviously unprepared.
Going back to OT last week, 7 straight scoring drives against the D.
I saw them play Toledo and lose.
I expect PSU to come back and win in the 2nd half and we will be back to "all is well" from the CJF skid mark sniffers.
