Official PSU - Iowa '25 game thread

[psu0408]

That was a hell of a drive. Keep the big package and run until they stop it

 

[Bison13]

I'll say it again: what if Allen had had 10 more carries against Oregon?

Penn State would probably be 6-0 and ranked number one or two and Franklin would still be the head coach

 

[PSUForever]

I can't believe PSU got a PI call in their favor. Is the world ending?

Was it the right call?

 

[Alphalion75]

We win
He's our best player and CJF hated him for some reason

How do you surmise that Franklin hated him?

 

[Ram20]

I dont know if its a coaching point or we always look decent against Iowa, but our O and D lines look so much better.

CJF watching tonight: “damn, that kid can run. I’d probably still have a job if I knew that.”

 

[MtNittany]

Gee. Play defense and special teams and hand the ball to Lydell, Curt, Blair, Larry, Saquon, Katron and see what happens. What a formula.

 

[AvgUser]

It's what Joe would have done.

True. Drove me crazy then too

 

[KingLando]

How do you surmise that Franklin hated him?

How else do you explain him refusing to treat him as RB1?
Many of us have been saying this for years--it was obvious who the best back was.

 

[WaffleShopper]

The offensive playcalling and personnel decisions are infuriating. Going to take time to get Grunk comfortable so what do we do? Take him out every few plays so it’s impossible for him to get into a rhythm. Same exact thing they did with Allar.

 

[Fred8811]

It's what Joe would have done.

On average saves 5 yds.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Was it the right call?

yes, a pretty clear PI, which was easy to call

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Looks like Zuriah Fisher is out for the game. He came out in the 1st half due to injury

 

[KingLando]

Spy the QB

 

[Calabrin]

Dad, I can't see too good, was that Nico over there?

 

[PSU Mike]

Dom sucked on that one

 

[Nittany18]

Love giving up the 1st down on 3rd!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good grief, Gronowski was looking to pass, couldn't find anything, then scrambles for a whole lot of yards.

 

[MtNittany]

Hold them to 3 here and all is good.

 

[Calabrin]

CJF watching tonight: “damn, that kid can run. I’d probably still have a job if I knew that.”

Everyone in the GD country knew it!

Hate... lmfao... Such a fool............

 

[BillDiehlNorstar]

And I owned it immediately. Try it sometime
It was still a horrible decision but sometimes those work out

U telling someone to own it is just …man that’s rich.

 

[SouthHalls410]

Ugh this defense…..

 

[BillDiehlNorstar]

We win
He's our best player and CJF hated him for some reason

Agreed.

 

[KingLando]

Hate... lmfao... Such a fool............

So he's just an idiot?

 

[PSU Mike]

Fail. WTF is AC’s responsibility?

 

[jmorovich]

Offense does something great and D totally ***** the bed. Wonderful.

 

[KingLando]

U telling someone to own it is just …man that’s rich.

Weird--considering I did--as I always do lol

 

[Nits74]

Defense just can't close the lid. Frustrating.

 

[SouthHalls410]

Spy the QB? Why would we do that

 

[Paws057]

The QB runs 40 yards and everyone is surprised he doesn’t run it in for a score! Amazing

 

[m.knox]

So he's just an idiot?

You are the only idiot.

 

[KingLando]

Ferentz is coaching a horrible game in this one--chasing points way too early

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & goal from the 4, and Gronowki keeps it and runs in for the TD

Iowa is going for 2

incomplete

21-16, PSU, with 4:10 left in the 3rd qtr.

 

[Psu00]

Ugh this defense…..

Perfect spot to stop Iowa after the TD and take the pressure off the O and new qb but, like clockwork, the PSU D allows the other team to go right down the field and score.

 

[LMTLION]

Spy the QB? Why would we do that

Reminds me of a specific game this year! Need a qb spy again.

 

[KingLando]

You are the only idiot.

You're trying too hard per usual
Explain Franklin's refusal to pound the ball with his best back...

 

[mcpat]

Is Knowles the most overrated coordinator hire ever?

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

I really don’t like Iowa…no good reason for it, but they’re just such an unlikable program.

 

[KingLando]

Is Knowles the most overrated coordinator hire ever?

AK?
