That last INT by Allar was also another one of those big moment fails.

PSU will fold in the big moment like they always do.

Yep.

 

[Retroram52]

Those goose eggs in the First and Third Quarters are also telling.

Horrible loss, Allar is a bum

“Big game” James Franklin strikes again

 

[Retroram52]

Franklin didn't get his team going coming out of the gates in the First and Third Quarters. The Lions had plenty of chances but just folded in the big moments.

 

[Retroram52]

I suppose there is always next year. lol.

Should've had that game. Won the turnover battle, had 204 yards rushing, completely dominated the 1st half and still lost. I hate to hang it on Allar, but 12/23 for 135 yards, no TD's and one critical INT isn't good enough. I think Tyler Warren needed to get the ball more.

For me, this definitely goes down as a self-inflicted loss though. At worst, we were going to OT tied at 24.

And yes, now the narrative will still be that Franklin can't win the big one.

 

[Maverick426h]

I really hope Allar returns for his senior season and gets some measure of redemption. This would be a really sour way to end his college career.

Not only did the Irish win but it came at the expense of you! Love it! Eat a dick old man.

No doubt Allar crapped his pants this game. He is better than he showed last night. Hell if he gets a three yard pass to a little higher Singleton would likely have caught the ball and PSU would have won. But he didn't.

Having a team with one receiver (Warren) and two excellent RBs is great but ZERO completions to WRs? This was poor recruiting at this position.

Being up 10 with a little over two minutes to go in the half I thought Penn State was in good position. Giving up that FG to a team who had two OLineman and their starting QB on that final drive of the first half helped give ND hope.

Franklin and his two coordinators were out coached in the 2nd half. Allar's INT late in the game was a HUGE mistake. Not sure I liked PSUs chances in OT.

I was not confident going into this game knowing Franklin's record. Penn State had one of the easiest paths to make it to the Championship and of course failed in what was a winnable game for them.

I hate OSU and I think they will win today and win the National Championship. Ryan Day has had a few WTF days too. I am placing my wooden nickel on OSU. I guess if PSU won I would have been bitching next game how Franklin can't beat Ohio State/

Franklin needs to do some serious recruiting to get back to the playoffs next year.

 

[Retroram52]

Agreed Sportster. Lots of mini failures by Franklin and his team and they culminated in the loss. Not good in the long run.

Exactly. Why can't we dip into the fucking portal and get a receiver or two? The money has to be there!!!

PSU's Allen, Singleton, Dennis-Sutton returning

Penn State's Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, who each surpassed 1,000 rushing yards this season, and DE Dani Dennis-Sutton are returning for the 2025 season.

Penn State's Warren, top TE prospect, off to draft

Penn State All-American tight end and Mackey Award winner Tyler Warren announced Monday that he is foregoing his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.

[Sportster 72]

It is the right time for Warren to go. Big Game needs to hit the portal and get a couple of receivers.

 

[Retroram52]

Spot On SNOWDOG!!

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Warren will go in the top 15 of the Draft. Allar could go either way. If comes back, he'll be a better QB. If he declares for the Draft as a Junior, the Rams are loking at him!

 

[Sportster 72]

If Allar had a big playoffs I think he would have went, at this point I think he would be better served to return.
