Official PSU - NW '25 Game thread

Pathetic….

I think this is the case. He’s checked out.

He never checked in after Oregon.

I'm ready for a coaching change as much as the next guy. But there's been way too many player flubs: dropped punt, dropped passes, penalties, INT, etc. to expect a good outcome. They just seem at times to be unprepared, undisciplined, and unmotivated.

As a coach you either coach it or permit it. After years of dumb personal fouls, clear whatever message is being sent isn’t received.

Stellar tackling yet again. Glad Franklin and company make them practice that every week. Hate to see them if they didn’t.

The tackling alone is proof this coaching staff can’t correct even the most basic fundamentals. You can forget “elite”.

 

[BobPSU92]

3-9

The b1g might take wins away.

 

[Calabrin]

The Penn State defense has allowed 22 points to Northwestern.

Let's compare recruiting classes...

 

[Nits74]

This defense is a disgrace

Isn't that the coach responsibility?

 

[Lion4ever]

PSU football is dead. Just an embarrassing program and now trapped by horrendous financial decisions. This program is toast

 

[LMTLION]

We now have to rely on Allar to win.

 

[PSUForever]

Weak and soft, thank you James.

 

[Moogy]

I knew losing Rojas was a big blow, but it can’t possibly be this big. Deluca isn’t the answer at LB.

But the defense’s execution is night and day, with and without Rojas.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

I just had a horrible thought. This could be the year that PSU loses to rutgres.

Only Rutgres....try Iowa, Indiana, MSU, Nebraska and Rutgers. Can you agree to a final 3-9 record?

 

[KingLando]

We now have to rely on Allar to win.

After he put us in a spot to win--same old theme
Like Beau he'll probably fail

 

[Catch1lion]

Who is melting down the fastest, the team or the fan base?

It is the Halloween season

 

[Paws057]

We have got to stop asking, ‘how bad can they get’? They are taking it as a challenge

 

[ZouaveLion]

Northwestern had one receiver and Mr 3 Million could figure out how to neutralize him....PATHETIC

 

[WestSideLion]

This is dark years football, minus the all-time great coach with decades of built up goodwill.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

NW's KO goes into the endzone, so PSU takes over on their 25

 

[Paws057]

That was a nice play

 

[KingLando]

See--after the huge mistkae on the last kickoff we put 34 back to return the next kick---classic Franklin
No accountability

 

[CoolBean]

Coach's face said it all, what do I do now?

 

[Calabrin]

The game is on the f'n line and they go back to Singleton. This program is a joke.

 

[KingLando]

Stupid play call to start the drive--predictable\Northwestern knew the call

 

[Midnighter]

TD, NW, on a run. He was stopped, but breaks through Gilliam.

NW is going for 2.

NW with a run, and they are stopped well short. DeLuca with the stop (joined by other teammates)

22-21, NW, with 4:51 left in the game.

An 11 play drive by NW

Thanks for updates. I’m at Little League.

[KingLando]

Nick has to make the guy miss in space there

 

[anon1786720894]

I think that Northwestern is just better. Another horrible thought.

 

[Big_O]

Don’t worry, we have Fraudklin‘s brilliant end of game coaching skills to assure the loss.

 

[m.knox]

Yes, PSU is going to lose this one. Too.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, Allar is grabbing his left ankle, after getting hit while scrambling on 3rd down

 

[KingLando]

Drew's finally hurt from running the ball

 

[Omar81]

After he put us in a spot to win--same old theme
Like Beau he'll probably fail

Really? He did that? With a two yard pass that the receiver took 60+ yards to double Drew’s passing yards for the day?

 

[Big_O]

Now we get to see Grunk.

 

[KingLando]

Sucks for Drew---huge mistake coming back for this season.

 

[Paws057]

Now we get to see Grunk…

 

[DELion]

Thanks for updates. I’m at Little League.

So are we.

 

[olelion]

Yes, PSU is going to lose this one. Too.

This team is not very good

 

[Nittering Nabob]

NW is a dirty team.

 

[CoolBean]

Whos next? Grunk?

 

[Midnighter]

The Penn State defense has allowed 22 points to Northwestern.

Let's compare recruiting classes...

Michigan is the comp. They hired Harbaugh a year after Franklin? They recruit similarly too. Harbaugh took less salary for a time so he could stay. I still can’t believe they beat Penn State without a HC and without throwing.
