Penn St is a QB and a chance taking coach away from having a championship level team.  One thing that we take for granted while playing in the Big 12 is how little risk aversion affects big games.  Once Bob Stoops joined the conference,  consistent success in high leverage conference games depended on how many chances your HC was willing to take.  It was something that really hurt Mack early on against OU until he finally stopped playing scared. 

Coaches in the Big10 and SEC are more inclined to approach games like old school NFL coaches with a don't lose it mentality. James Franklin has already punted twice from mid field and his trash ass QB combined with 1980s playcalling had no chance of directing a successful 2 minute drill to end the half.

Where are the offensive weapons on Penn State.  I see no speed on the perimeter.

How can we even tell, they're running 5 yard stop routes every other play. They took a WR from Kent St in the portal who was supposedly better than that UNC WR who finally started playing a couple games ago.

Think if we were stuck with James Franklin instead of Pedo State if we hired him in 2014. Obviously, he is a much better coach than Potato but we would be stuck with a much less successful Mack Brown situation all over again.

And NBC, CBS, and Fox paid out the ass for a whole lot of it. Now we know why Texas will keep showing up as the 3pm Fox game for the rest of the season. They don't get anymore of us until Michigan next year.

There was a double reverse flee flicker earlier in this game where 2 Penn St pass catchers were running side by side within 2 yards of each other. Meanwhile on the other side of the field Ryan Day is able to scheme up the most dangerous WR in all of college football into multiple plays where he is wide ass open catching the ball in full sprint. A decent QB and offensive coaching staff would have Penn St up at least 10 to 15 points with the defense they're fielding today.

Penn States playcalling has been moribund... but its real nice of the big 10 refs to completely ignore the PSU outlet receivers being mercilessly held 3 yards past the LOS.   yeah its within 5 yards, you can touch him, you cant fucking grab his shoulders and hold him.

James Franklin feels like he is Penn State's Kirk Ferentz. Yeah he'll jump up occasionally in a down year for the other schools but you're never going to be a threat with him.
