Please just beat Penn State

[RUShea]

I love the progress we're seeing this year, even if it's not translating to wins. PLEASE just beat Penn State. That's all I ask.

 

[RUScrew85]

Could happen.

 

[PedroPete3]

This would make the season worth it to beat them!

 

[HeavenUniv.]

That would be State Penn.

Penn State is a team we should beat, but they’re not just going to lay down for us. We’ve got to take it to them.

 

[shields]

Their starting tight end is now done for the season.

Ya, that game carries a high level of importance.

 

[Knight Shift]

Their starting tight end is now done for the season.

Freiermuth was about 1/3 of Clifford's receptions in passing yards. He was their second leading receiver/TE.

Loser: Penn State Nittany Lions

Then again, punting from midfield with 3:30 remaining in a 13-point game was a clear sign they had no intentions of making that comeback.
They do know that college teams can't tank for draft position, yes?
That's a joke, of course, but this season has been a complete disaster for Penn State.
....
But even that wouldn't be enough to get James Franklin fired, since his buyout is well over $30 million. They just need to take this one on the chin and hope it doesn't stick with them through future seasons.

Sure would be nice.

From your mouth to God’s ears. Hope it happens.

I was a sophomore the last time we beat those clowns...I’ve been retired from the military 9 years now...that drought needs to end

 

[srru86]

That would be a step in the right direction all right.

 

[wolve1972]

You guys could definitely beat PSU especially after giving Michigan all they could handle. But I have a feeling they're going to go off on someone bigtime in the very near future. Franklin's recruited very well and has a roster filled with many 4 stars. They're 2nd in the B1G - according to 247 Sports - for 2020 roster talent. And yet they're 0-5 - the biggest surprise in CF. I've watched a few of their games and there is no energy from the players or coaching staff. Something is going on behind the scenes that's not being made public

 

[Panthergrowl13]

This is the year Rutgers can defeat Penn State.

Looking forward to watching this game.

GO KNIGHTS

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

I was there! In unHappy Valley...32 years ago....*sigh* what an awesome day to be a Loyal Son....let's hoping history repeats itself!

 

[MrsScrew_rivals32693]

the psu game is my birthday. there is nothing, and I mean nothing, I want more for my birthday than a win over that team.

 

[RUich]

Keep in mind that PSU was considered a team that could be in the NC picture at the pre-season. They will not lose every game on the schedule! We blew a chance to beat them when they got hit with the Sandusky restrictions.
There is also the "unofficial" rivalry feeling between the two programs which should get their juices running.
As far as Franklin goes, this season is a mess and there has to be something really negative going on that is not out there. If the other charge that we are hearing about pans out, PSU may well be able to get out from under financially by using the contract clause for things other than athletic reasons.
But, their rabid fans bailed them out after Sandusky with tons of money. So, it may happen again.

fps!

 

[GSGS]

Sorry for this perspective, but someone needs to say it ... how much would it suck if we were PSU's first win of the year?

You must be fun at parties.

 

[ScarletDave]

Haunting memories of that first game. Wonder about the trajectory of RU football had we won. Would we have gone to a New Years Day bowl that year instead of Quick Lane .. ala Outback, Gator Bowl, etc. Would Flood have kept Saquan Barkley? I will never forget seeing our two guys collide and watching the PSU guy run down the field on that last drive. Nightmares. Time to finish the deed

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I jinxed us in the 3rd QTR the first time we played them as a Big Ten team.. I said "We Got This"... my bad.

 

[RUsince52]

Penn St might turn into our Army - Navy game. Nothing else matters except for continuing to show improvement. But now we know more about our capabilities on the field too.

 

[kapyoche]

You have to feel sorry for Penn State fans.

They will need a big win against Rutgers to not finish last in the BIG.

 

[Colbert17!]

feel sorry for Penn State fans

Not in this universe.

 

[MrsScrew_rivals32693]

You have to feel sorry for Penn State fans.

Um, no, no we don't. Ever. Never ever.

Never, ever EVER root for them or feel sorry for them

Ever

Jeez

fps

Mr. Screw. Hold off on that planned week in the Bahamas birthday present. You might not need it.
