'26 PSU - Michigan game thread

[Psumatt85]

Thanks for admitting you don’t know either. I just think he deserves more!

 

[KingLando]

VaTech who went 3-9 last year and is now 5-2, but VaTech is not vastly improved from what they were last year??? You really are a moron = you are so FACTUALLY wrong it's ridiculous. You're just such an annoying idiot douche, it's beyond ridiculous.

And we were 6-6 last year--will probably be so again this year
Franklin had over a decade here to win a title and left on a team he begged for that couldn't beat UCLA or a bad Northwestern team
Facts kiddo

 

[KingLando]

Worst thing that happened was Rocco Becht!

I mean, if Underwood stays in the game we still may have won lol
Not praising Becht

 

[rigi19041]

We simple disagree--who do you falsely believe wanted to be here that isn't
Grunk was NEVER staying--he was loyal to Franklin. James has made countless comments that made it clear he knew he was following him. The "insiders" here will tell you the same.
He brought his guys out of necessity

Lane wanted to be here. He issued a statement he wasn't leaving and then the team pushed him out the door and paid Neal. Campbell would have stated. That was money. Psu had the money for Ebel and neal.

Don't give me loyalty bs. Open your eyes. Players are loyal to whoever pays them the most.

 

[bbrown]

Defense should sue for lack of support

Well they don't get much help but this defense is not good. The DL is big but not strong and outside of Rojas the LB'rs are not good and they cap it off by being slow.
I've seen #8 get in the way of a PSU player making a tackle than I've seen him making plays.

Stop believing statements--they mean nothing. Just like everything a coach says he wants to stay then leaves
We've seen countless players stay for less money.

 

[SleepyLion]

For starters, you have no clue what he's getting--like when people claim Beau got 1M
Second, what difference does it make? We had no other real options

Whatever it is it is too much.

 

[Spireguy]

Well

Campbell is determined to hang himself with the rope that is Rocco Becht.

Much like Franklin stuck with allar. Can't have average at qb. But people love these 5 star ratings

 

[Nitt1300]

I thought this team had a chance to be good.
This is embarrassing. I’ve never seen a weaker Penn State team in my life.

I didn't,

 

[KingLando]

I mean, that 3rd down pass--yikes

 

[Spireguy]

Sorry board I am hung up on this NIL. How many years did it take for you to make 2,000,000.00$ Something is very very wrong. Thank You for your time.

100%

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

FAT, SLOW, WEAK, and stupid is no way to go through life!!!!

Short

What are the 3 wins?

 

[KingLando]

We know we need to score twice, right?

Gronk has publicly stated that he wanted to stay, but Campbell wouldn't have it..... Gronk has a VaTech team that was 3-9 last year at 5-2 through 7 games, but Campbell had "no choice" but to pay Becht $2 million to be the starting QB - LMAO. Why don't you just stfu rather than continuing to spout your inanities.

 

[KingLando]

Can beat everyone left--none of them are good--neither are we
Rutgers, Maryland and Purdue are pretty safe especially if Howard is back

Our fan base is the only ones that believe people
Do you believe coaches when they say they want to stay? Grunk was never staying--ever.

Used to be, I expected to win every game. Not so much anymore.

 

[Efejle]

Im pretty certain Underwood is being paid too, but their coach went ahead and made a change.

 

[creamery freak]

For all of you nimrods that say Franklin is laying an egg at VaTech -- VaTech just beat GaTech to move to 5-2. Through 7 games last year VaTech was 2-5 (on their way to a 3-9 season). Franklin has already made them into a VASTLY IMPROVED team from last year, but all you Franklin-hate know-it-alls keep telling us that Campbell has to be given years to improve the team..... Franklin improves VaTech dramatically improves VaTech IMMEDIATELY in his first year upon arriving, but he sucks???? You people make ZERO sense and are completely illogical in your criticisms of Franklin and defenses of Campbell (just completely opposite of one another). Campbell has taken a very competitive team and turned it uncompetitive with his transfers in his first year while Franklin has taken a completely uncompetitive team and turned it very competitive with his transfers in his first year, but it's Franklin that stinks??????

Put VaTech in the B10 and see how vastly improved they are. My only other comment is Grunkenmeyer is vastly better than Becht, and it's not even close.

Secondary is a winning unit. If we had a rush.

You are correct. We win every game u til they are played

 

[PSUForever]

Of course the worst executed onsides kick. They do nothing well.

 

[bbrown]

Or LB'rs, outside of Rojas, that were B1G caliber

You only need to win the games on your schedule. Sour grapes from a loser.

 

[psu0408]

Four problems this game:

• Not getting 7 on the first drive
• 2 Underwood INT = 0 point
• 3 Becht turnovers = 21 points
• 4th Q, 4th and 3 on your own 45ish, punting. You’re running out of drives and need points.

 

[PSUForever]

Maybe we can get Underwood in the portal for a discount of $5 million?

 

[DELion]

An absolutely disgraceful performance by a senior quarterback.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Used to be, I expected to win every game. Not so much anymore.

This team finds a new and different way to lose every week. Twit boy saying any team is a guaranteed win against this awful team is beyond laughable. It's nearly as good as his claim that VaTech isn't vastly improved from last year - last year VaTech was 2-5 seven games on their way to 3-9 for the season. This year they're off to a 5-2 start playing an extremely similar schedule to last year, but they're not vastly improved because Load-O dipstick boy says so??????

Biggest problem is the Michigan coach made the call at half and it paid off.

 

[KingLando]

You are correct. We win every game u til they are played

We lost our 3rd competitive game
Maybe that continues but on paper we should be the same as last year

 

[PSUForever]

And in other news, a year 1 coach hired late just beat Georgia on the road.

 

[Big_O]

Two word reason for Penn State losing - Rocco Becht. All UM points were scored off of Becht turnovers.

 

[Spireguy]

Although Franklin couldn’t coach his way outta paper bag at least Franklin could recruit and we had the jimmys and joe’s…

this guy can’t recruit or coach….

We are now Nebraska …. Weeeeeeee!

Too soon. Campbell was put in a bad situation with late hire. We'll see

 

[LionsAndBears]

I don't understand that dedensive alignment on the final series. Why didn't we go Cover Zero, play Man on the Outside and bring everyone up to the LOS to stop the run?

 

[Psumatt85]

Moral victories instead of totally sucking!!!!!

To be fair...the 2nd pick of Underwood couldn't have resulted in points...right before the half. And punting there worked fine

The rest is deadly accurate

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

Secondary is a winning unit. If we had a rush.

Big and slow...8 years of college football can't improve either...on the plus side huge opportunities for any incoming recruits or portal transfers.

Did I say this?
Just stating facts

We are worse than Nebraska. Give Rocco more money!
