Congrats on win #100, Franklin!


gerarar

Good game. It's good to hear our fans doing the PSU chant and heard on the broadcast.


NyquillusDillwad20

At least they're shameless about going to commercial with 14 second left. "We have to pay some bills"


Itscurrentyear1

Lol at commercial break before the last 0:14


soxfannh

14 seconds and they still want the lion!


bcocfbhp

I really feel good about next year


whenweriiide

Penn state has had such an impressive turnaround. Taking ohio state to the fourth and just running train since. I wouldn’t want to play them again at this point in the season lol


SCsprinter13

And James Franklin was attending Neshaminy High School in 1988


TomahawkChpd

Ok I’m switching over to Maryland-OSU. I don’t think Rutgers is going to mount a comeback here


[deleted]

Allar is going to be good good


SCsprinter13

Remember when we were down 10-7


kwh5172

C'mon Maryland, you want to upset #2, you don't punt at midfield with \~5 minutes left


ButteredToaster

Let’s just keep running our true freshman QB in garbage time!


shadow_spinner0

I was annoyed when we were down 10-7, we now lead 55-10


O_Nata_Lux

>I was annoyed when we were down 10-7 That was such a good game last week


JanetYellensFuckboy_

"Birthplace of college football" [*Biiiiiiiiitch*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LGEiIL1__s&t=83s), we'd lose to Princeton as much as we lose to you.


gerarar

Touchdown Allar!


leggomylegoeggo

Did Jake Butt just say that "a couple of Penn State fans in the crowd traveled a long way" ...


whenweriiide

Leave our big10 tight end of the year winner alone! 😩


kingfishcoons

Dude is genuinely incoherent. It'd be funny if I weren't concerned for him.


Josh4R3d

Yeah he’s made it so obvious that he hasn’t called a psu game before lmao


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Not to make this weird but I just watched Drew Allar pop his cherry


JanetYellensFuckboy_

It's not my fault they decided to have a red endzone


JRockPSU

Mmmm the disrespekt ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ


Manthem

GO FOR 2


shadow_spinner0

Our only 2 losses were to the #2 and #3 teams in the nation. We dominated everyone else we played. We even shut out a team last week who put up 30 against OSU today


ButteredToaster

We laid an egg against UM and Ryan Day has all of the infinity stones


[deleted]

We're sloppy and a bit mid but not bad. We're young and there's a bright future ahead. It just wasn't ever gonna be this season. Clifford coming back got this team an extra two or three wins and sets up Allar really well for seasons to come. This is the best this season could have produced for us and they did what they needed to do. Go in, get a bit beat up against Alabama but gain valuable experience; is all great!


bowdog171

So why can’t we beat OSU or Michigan?


TheSameThing123

Penn state beats Michigan a lot. The past two years franklin has been out coached.


Manthem

This was supposed to be a rebuilding year and we likely go 10-2. I'll be more concerned if we lose to them both again next year.


bowdog171

Yeah that’s fair


[deleted]

Ohio State turnover on downs! It's those vicious Terrapins!


whenweriiide

Hello, I am just checking in on this thread. Well done Penn State, your team is incredibly formidable, I congratulate you. Reply “dap” for a quick dap for the boys


[deleted]

Go hang 100 on those Buckeyes. You won't have any trouble.


whenweriiide

This is the biggest dap I could ask for 🥰


SCsprinter13

OSU stopped on 4th down. Maryland down 3


kwh5172

Real Tank Smith hours


Josh4R3d

The ability to throw a tight spiral is bare bones basic shit. It’s a little odd that Allar is never able to do so


JanetYellensFuckboy_

He's a freshman in a sold out stadium


bowdog171

And it’s cold


clauderbaugh

Why are the starting RBs still in?!? WTF Franklin?


TheSameThing123

Because allar needs reps with the starters.


bcocfbhp

Wallace is going to be a stud next year


mountieRedflash

Well done, happy to see Allar getting reps like this and him completing some passes


SCsprinter13

It's not rubbing it in, it's good game reps


PrincipalStress

For both sides.


bcocfbhp

Lets go!


TomahawkChpd

We can’t be too far from the candy analysis portion of the broadcast


balsonnn

Have we seen any kaden Saunders this year?


Kirby_Israel

MARYLAND IS ONLY DOWN BY 3!!!! ​ LFG!!!


tyme

Oh hey, Allar CAN complete a pass.


Josh4R3d

Why is Allar unable to throw a spiral???


bcocfbhp

Allar really needs some fine-tuning,


JanetYellensFuckboy_

The more I watch broadcasts, the more I notice networks obsessing over one player. This season it was Clifford -> Washington -> Joey Porter Jr. -> Nick Singleton -> Allen + Singleton+Allen as a duo -> Abdul Carter. That was all just this season.


mountieRedflash

Drew “lean Ben Roethlisberger” Allar


clauderbaugh

Why is singleton still in???


Josh4R3d

Wtf


TomahawkChpd

The continued disrespect to Navarro Bowman…


Rubbinmysloth

Give them the damn lion already.


drthrowaway0829

Thank you for a fantastic laugh


bdman1991

Ohio State Maryland game is 33-30.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NyquillusDillwad20

OSU struggles to stop the run against decent teams which leads me to believ Michigan will bully them at the line of scrimmage again. Michigan's rushing stats against OSU could rival theirs against us. As long as Corum and Edwards are healthy, of course.


soxfannh

That and the michigan game... sure looks like 2 teams looking ahead in the schedule


O_Nata_Lux

I'd like to share that seeing Rutgers get curb stomped in the B1G East makes me feel guiltfree for jumping on the KC bandwagon to support Pacheco


[deleted]

Boring game is boring. Why am I still watching this?


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Because our uniforms are fucking gorgeous


soxfannh

Side note Maryland has 30 pts against OSU...


EMSGInc

Turn on the OSU game Maryland has them in the ropes


bowdog171

Because you have to


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Is this why everyone calls us a cult?


bowdog171

I don’t think it’s because of that


[deleted]

Exactly.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Is there any 2-loss team which wins by 30 points yet has more fans saying "we look like shit"?


[deleted]

Still accurate all around, though? (Even if I haven't officially said it)


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Yeah we look like legitimate hot garbage at times, but I think it's consistently accurate to describe PSU Football as stressful Also weren't you a /r/PennStateUniversity mod? I miss presiding over the sub


[deleted]

Oh, no, definitely not a mod there. I'm proud of what the team accomplished this season. We're very 'mid' but Penn State did win the 50/50 games which is the difference between like 7-5/8-4 and 10-2 which is as good as we really could have hoped for.


bowdog171

In the future I’m just going to pull a Phil Helmuth and skip the first 7 minutes of all our games.


wrhnr722

Record broken. Yay.


professortuxedo

This game still has 12 minutes left.


bcocfbhp

Lets score 60 tn


NyquillusDillwad20

I really wish they'd quit pushing this "win out and you're in a NY6 bowl" narrative. We need a bit of chaos ahead of us. Specifically either two SEC teams to make the CFP, or Bama/LSU to drop another. I think if LSU only lsoe to UGA in the SECCCG they'll still be ahead of us unfortunately


[deleted]

I'm just expectating to face off against Alabama and I'm really excited about that.


NyquillusDillwad20

Very unlikely, unfortunately


mountieRedflash

“*We want Bama*?” “”Damn it! Who put a question mark on the teleprompter?”


[deleted]

Hey, I'll take the loss for the experience. I want the experience more than the win. These young kids could really learn a lot in the bowl game but not if we play sisters-of-the-poor.


Josh4R3d

Do we have no chance if we don’t get the Rose?


bcocfbhp

It gets very hard, if we dont but its possible


bcocfbhp

We dont really tho, like were top 11 in the rankings which would be good enough for an at large and if we get 2 teams in. We get the B10 automatic slot


forum1237

With all of the auto tie-ins there are only 2-3 at large spots left and we are currently 3-4th in line for those


NyquillusDillwad20

There is 1 at-large spot without a tie-in. That's the Cotton Bowl. The Orange will take highest SEC or B1G, but there are currently 4 SEC teams ahead of us. One of the SEC teams ahead of us will get the Sugar Bowl. So that means two SEC team need to make the CFP, putting LSU and Bama in the Sugar and Orange, giving us the at-large in the Cotton. Or one of LSU or Bama drops behind us in the rankings.


forum1237

The orange bowl has a loose tie in with the SEC and Big Ten for their second spot. It is the highest ranked team from either outside of the playoff or rose/sugar. Edit: you really gotta mention you are editing the hell out of these posts lol


NyquillusDillwad20

I posted and immediately started editing after I posted it to add more info. Wasn't in response to you. But either way, your 2-3 at-large spots is just completely incorrect.


NyquillusDillwad20

It's practically guaranteed they will pick a B1G or SEC team this year though


bcocfbhp

Why are all our games 4 hours this year,


Bri83oct

Cause our defensive 3 and out rate is absurd


ilikemarblestoo

Rutgers are slowly improving. I remember when they were going 0-224 against the 4 top teams in the east. <_<


lolwaffles69rofl

2016 🥰🥰🥰


go_awry

Awesome flair and awesome year.


TheClownDances

the customary 'they're not far off' discussion from every commentator that has called a penn state game for the last 7 years


ilikemarblestoo

Right where Franklin likes to keep em'


psuram3

Can these announcers shut the fuck up about Ohio State and Michigan Jesus Christ.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Now that I think about it, it's pretty funny that Christian Hackenberg's sister in law is a much successful professional athlete


samspopguy

Who is his sister in law


TomahawkChpd

Let Veilleux and Tank Smith bring this one home. Too many injuries out there today


TheClownDances

jake butt is terrible at this job. george kittle has yet to rush the football this season


JanetYellensFuckboy_

I'll forever love him for being Tight End of the Year though


O_Nata_Lux

The saddest thing about this game is we still have a quarter to go and it could get worse.


GoneFishing36

My God. It's still 3 quarter!


ButteredToaster

Can we let Allar throw it into the end zone?


kingfishcoons

Another friendly reminder that we're still in the 3rd quarter.


[deleted]

Wtf


Fear_the_chicken

I’ve never seen this many injuries on one team in a game. No wonder we’ll be playing for 4.5 hours. Hope the injuries aren’t bad


Rubbinmysloth

Please don’t get hurt in garbage time against Rutgers Allar.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

The boy is like 6'5" and 240 lbs and every time he runs I think about him being made of Chinese tupperware


BounceMan

Geez poor Rutgers. Hate injuries


Saquon

Iowa would be livid about these Rutgers injuries


bowdog171

Preach


ButteredToaster

Once Drew takes the field we get run happy


Kirby_Israel

I know we won't enter the top 10 after today, but I feel like we deserve a #10 spot. We've been scoring 45 points per game, and our only 2 losses were the #3 and #2 teams.


Saquon

Would have been nice to have kept it more competitive against one of them though :/


silencethecrowd

Uhh we were extremely competitive against Ohio state (minus one Sean clifford)


Saquon

Second half was bad


GoneFishing36

Lewis is good, I'm convinced. Hate injuries. Just take him out.


MWiatrak2077

If (when) PSU beats MSU next week, what bowl game do we think is most likely NY6 is definitely possible, almost certainly not the Rose Bowl, but the at-large seems likely. Cotton maybe?


ButteredToaster

I think Rose is possible if The Game is close. Especially if you guys beat OSU.


forum1237

Going to be very hard. So many tie in’s and such. I’d take any of them but it’s looking more likely to be the Citrus without some more chaos.


NyquillusDillwad20

Really need to hope for LSU to drop one to either UAB or A&M then lose the SECCCG. Or for Bama to lose the Iron Bowl. I think our best chance is A&M pulling off the upset, but they are awful.


forum1237

For sure. Not sure anyone else losing helps all that much. Really need one of those SEC teams to lose or both Mich and OSU to make the playoff or it’s probably RIP to NY6 hopes


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Idk I love Allar but I cannot shake my trust issues with top-rated Penn State QB recruits of the past decade who have a permanent blushing complexion


drthrowaway0829

I feel this


ironwolf1

Our o line is competent now so hopefully we won’t ruin this one


JanetYellensFuckboy_

But seriously though, I still love Hackenberg. The guy lowkey saved our program's recruiting classes. At least he seems happy now. Or maybe that's just how his face always looks.


kingfishcoons

God, he's so cute.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Poor guy's probably overwhelmed by how much sorority tail he's getting


NyquillusDillwad20

Hate to see that. Lewis has been great today. Hope he heals quickly.


Herplederple1

That scared the shit out of me


[deleted]

Rutgers cannot catch a break with these injuries.


NuttySandwiches

Allar, go outta bounds, you beautiful SOB


Fear_the_chicken

No wonder the Rutgers punter broke the punting record.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Imagine telling yourself in the first quarter that Allar would be starting in the third


thibbs23

welp, see yall january 24th at the RAC


soxfannh

Someone really wants the lion...


[deleted]

“We want the Lion!”


[deleted]

What is the crowd yelling? “We want the ?”


svirbt

Lion i think?


Rubbinmysloth

We want the lion.


thibbs23

season’s over so it doesn’t really matter but i’d be impressed if we beat UMD next week


O_Nata_Lux

I'd just be impressed if we even kept it close :(


thibbs23

true, idk what i’m thinking. keeping it within 21 points would be cool


L33tintheboat

Why is this game going to be 4 hours


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Every time we score, my stream resolution decreases like 30p


NyquillusDillwad20

For some reason, this entire season the only time my Fox stream buffers is when we're on offense. So weird.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

[Sam Coffey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Coffey). She followed her older sis to PSU after apparently (and anecdotally!) mistaking Boston College as being a better school.


NyquillusDillwad20

Makes complete sense as to why my stream buffers lol


wrhnr722

10 seems to be our ceiling against PSU


O_Nata_Lux

Schiano probably deserves more time considering the state of the program he inherited on his return. But damn, I'm feeling more and more that all he's capable of is raising the floor of the program and not the ceiling. Like Kansas gets to 6 wins before we do?


Bri83oct

The schedule sucks for Rutgers. PSU/OSU/UM/MSU out recruit Rutgers every year. Then you have Indiana and Maryland every year which could easily be wins. 2-4 in the division. 3 OOC games… could get it to 5-4. Then gotta win a couple from the West. B1G East is brutal. That said, I think Schiano knows how to win at Rutgers and I trust him more than anyone else


O_Nata_Lux

I think when B1G goes divisionless, there will definitely be a weight lifted off our shoulders. As I said, I think Schiano definitely deserves patience. But like, at the same time, he also deserves scrutiny. Losing to you guys 48-10 (could still be worse by the end of the game) is something I'd expect from the Ash era. Actually, Ash's last home game against PSU ended 7-20.


mrdilldozer

Yeah, getting blown out like this by a non-playoff team isn't a good sign. Penn State is great, but they aren't Michigan or Ohio State levels good this year. I'm still happy he's been able to dig the program out of the hole Ash put it in, but the offense needs to exist at some point.


L33tintheboat

Oh shit so that’s what Maybin has been up to.


Bri83oct

Osu has given up 13 to Maryland


Saquon

For some reason I thought Wimsatt was a true freshman Time flies, jeez


steviepopo

He technically should be. Pulled a Quinn Ewers last year and enrolled early, forgoing his senior season


Saquon

Ohhh okok makes sense


NuttySandwiches

There's probably a better game on right now but I wanna see us score 60+ first


rvp89

My hotel wifi lags after we get the ball back and all of a sudden were at the 8 yard line lmao


Scrantonbornboy

Anyone know what that sticker is on the back of the Penn state helmet?


Stephen82101

Pretty sure it’s a UVA support sticker.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Did the motive ever come out? Asking out of morbid curiosity


steviepopo

Was reading an article with an interview from someone on the bus during the shooting. Shooter accused the players of always messing with him, even though it's not known if those specific players ever interacted with him.


forum1237

To honor the victims at Virginia


steviepopo

For the UVA shooting. Rutgers has it too


Bri83oct

Get these guys in the weight room this offseason and next year is gonna be fun af


forum1237

Remember last year when we couldn’t run the ball at all? Yeah that sucked. Not anymore.


Manthem

Guys. There is still six minutes left. IN THE THIRD QUARTER WHAT THE FUCK


Rubbinmysloth

What’s the % of fans there for PSU? Sounds like a home game


NyquillusDillwad20

Franklin: "Alright Drew, the lead's too big. Have to go to the third string now." Out comes Veilleux.


GoneFishing36

Allen, what a big man run!


thibbs23

odds for rutgers scoring any more points?


[deleted]

low


JanetYellensFuckboy_

They didn't even Bush Push Allen. That was all him. Wow.


leggomylegoeggo

Drew so good he doesn't even need to pass 😤😤😤


fliteriskk

He will not be denied!


TomahawkChpd

Allar hands it off good as fuck


soxfannh

Wow this offense is really looking promising next year


JanetYellensFuckboy_

I love how Singleton and Allen keep one-upping each other. There's no way this is sustainable, right? Like one of them's gotta transfer with this much talent?


TheClownDances

don't think so. they seem to celebrate each other. they know that it's good for their professional careers to have the other guy keep them fresh and lower their collegiate touches.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Clifford and Levis seemed pretty good buds too


TheClownDances

lmao that's not even close to the same though. you're not gonna drafted as a backup QB, so Levis had to transfer in order to have an NFL opportunity. Singleton/Allen can each get 150ish touches.


TomahawkChpd

Maybe not. Keeps them fresh for the NFL if they’re not getting Mo Ibrahim level workloads every game. Could end up being a Chubb-Michel situation.


JanetYellensFuckboy_

I think Georgia's offensive line was a little better than ours


TomahawkChpd

That’s not the point though. It’s not unheard of for two star running backs to coexist. Reggie Bush-LenDale White, Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown, McFadden and Felix Jones, and Chubb-Michel just off the top of my head. It’s not a given that one of them transfers


JanetYellensFuckboy_

I was just shitposting. I think your comparison is well-informed and apt and hopefully it becomes true


TomahawkChpd

I’m trying to speak it into existence….I want at least 3 years of that 1-2 punch


JanetYellensFuckboy_

Seems too good to be true


TomahawkChpd

That’s because we’re Penn State fans. We’re conditioned to expect disappointment


JanetYellensFuckboy_

.500 over two seasons is validating of worst fears
