Granted, they just converted on 3rd and 10...

But they actually have a drive going, and Kotelnicki calls back to back gimmick plays that go for 0 yards. JFC, this guy.

lol. That Dr Pepper ad sure did seem like a deliberate shot at Shedeur Sanders.

Thought you weren't allowed to hit a throwing qb at or below the knee? OSU got away with one.

"...stopped the Nittany Lions 4 times from inside the 3 yard line."

People on this board with a straight face: "I can't believe they fired Franklin!"

Guess we finally decided to let our backup QB try to win the game. Good play calling that drive and good job getting Nick the ball in space.

Have to use Singleton more this game…his speed can match up with OSU’s.

Why PSU didn't go for it on 4th down in OSU territory is beyond me ... What do you have to lose at this point. They punt and OSU marches right down the field for 7
Exactly. No point trying to pin OSU deep the way they so easily move the ball. Starting on the 15 or the 40 doesn't really matter for them.

Perhaps Smith thought the defense would be able to do something today. Now he knows.

#11 looked like #25 back in 1982 on that toss/TD. Made it look like a formality.

This is how you win football games. POWER. Running the ball AT WILL. Something Franklin never embraced with his pass first, run second football philosophy. Wow, how he ruined the historic structure and DNA of Penn State Football. Our slow weak under performing Offensive line is like watching high school football. So very very sad.
Exactly. Well, except for the fact that Franklin was run first, which is why we have such a prolific RB tandem, and OSU has been pass first and that’s why they’re winning.

Other than being completely wrong, you nailed it.

We scored more points than I thought we could but our issue is Knowles and the lousy defense. Ohio State will turn it on here. Sayin is good but of course we make him look like Mahomes.

Somebody should have told Joe Burrow and LSU they didn’t run enough.
