PSU running laterally when you’re hammering it down their throat is some classic Franklin maneuvering

They don't need gimmick plays to beat Boise, getting too cute is Franklin's downfall.

Yep. Smashes straight forward and hard play action and there is no way Boise is stopping them. Boise is having to blitz almost every play

 

[upnorthkid]

Oh boy we may have a game. PSU going to tighten up the longer it stays close

 

[stocker08]

Whoa! Big time TD for the Blue Man Group. 17-14 PSU.

Worked against us at the worst time with their fake punt.

 

[Tlsbhansen]

Allar looks horrible!

 

[stocker08]

Where the hell was the personal foul?

If Penn State loses, they will regret getting cute and not just running the ball. Allar does not seem to have good pocket presence.

Boise is starting to find some chinks in the PSU defense. This could be an interesting 4th quarter.

That penalty call was basically the dagger.

Boise coach is as big of a Jesus dork as Kirk Cousins

Bert Wins. Cracked me up. What he did was a-holish, but legal. So I have no problem with it. Cocks needed to stop subbing every offensive play.

This has been a gripe of mine for years. Football is a game of substitutions and injuries. If you want to occasionally run a quick play to try to catch the other team off guard, then fine. But real teams will be able to beat you man-to-man without resorting to that. If you're going to complain about the other team making their legal substitutions, then you're doing it all wrong.

Ope, I spoke too soon. That turnover puts them in a very bad position.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Okay, okay, stayin alive. Gonna have to at least a FG out of this drive.

Nvm Franklin gonna Franklin. The love of kotelnicki (their coordinator) is really confusing to me

These folks are usually real quiet when they lose

 

[WAGopher]

Third down is all about getting a first down. That was an inexcusable play on 3rd and 1.

Yep you’re only calling that if you’re going on 4th down.

BS. And I'm not religious at all. Take it to the OT board

PSU is softening

 

[upnorthkid]

Jeanty breaks 5 tackles and gets 10 yards. PSU if they advance are going to be really banged up on D next week. Already had Abdul Carter go down earlier and their opponent will be very physical regardless of if it’s Georgia or ND

 

[upnorthkid]

PSU is softening

The problem is he’s still getting hit in the backfield on every play so even though he breaks a tackle every play it’s still only for 3-4.

That said their defense looks like they’re wearing down from having had to play last week while Boise got to rest

 

[GophersInIowa]

 

[upnorthkid]

That’s why you call a play to get 5-8 yards, not 15 danielson

 

[stocker08]

Man.....Boise's kicker is blowing it. Along with the TD called back because of a personal foul that could have happened on ANY other play......

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Thats why you check it down to Jenty go try and get better field position for the FG, instead of throwing a ball into double coverage

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Oh man.

PSU is getting bailed out by dumb Boise mistakes, a shaky kicker. Looks like they’re going to escape barring something kind of wierd.

 

[upnorthkid]

Hoots check it down to Jenty go try and get better field position for the FG, instead of throwing a ball into double coverage

Well and the thing is even if you hit that play, you’re still kicking a fg. It’s just bad coaching

If I’m ND or GA I’m licking my chops watching this. Team looks like theyre struggling to handle physicality

Yup and this game also shows how average a team PSU is, play a better team and they might get pummeled, which I would enjoy as Franklin is one of my least favorite CFB coaches.
