[satyanash 15357]

40-yarder no good. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Fucking Ks, man. 

7-pt fail on that pass to TE.

Bert says hi.

[heso 2848]

Needed points there. 

[DixonHur 11941]

Love the "nice block" where he has his arms around the guy's neck

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Welp, there's your 14-pt swing.

[satyanash 15357]

Dillon Gabriel is that dude. So glad blOU was incompetent enough to lose him.

[mdmost 43850]

Yeah I'm on the blowout Penn State train now. 

[Pam Cummings 9823]

Oh wow a QB who can move escaping and making a downfield throw for a big play.

 

Must be nice.

That was some badass down field vision: had 10 on his legs, but kept his eyes up and got 40

[DixonHur 11941]

How'd the refs miss that lineman downfield?

[DixonHur 11941]

Penn State looks slow and their QB makes Ewers look like a footwork guru

[Hornin04 262]

Did the Oregon players declare that it's bare knees day? Wtf going on with the pants?

Lineman downfield is like defensive holding sometimes: if it’s non egregious and far away from the play, they let it go or miss it

Have you watched football in the last 15 years?

It was totally egregious.  He looked like he was running a route

Oregons RBs are 167lbs. How the fuck do they run so well

Tez, the wr is only 5’10 160

Philly special always works in the mid-week CUSA/MAC games, not so much here. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8963]

lol that had no chance

[dcar00 14902]

I think that was a TD. not that it matters now but it was the same as Manning.  he touches the pylon with his foot and hasn't landed out of bounds yet.

I thought so too

[DixonHur 11941]

Why would you go for 2 there?  Serious question.

I’m wondering the same thing. I’m flipping between games, but did the annnouncers even question this?

your name is James Franklin.

[F250 29175]

I can't tell, is Penn State good or is Oregon mediocre.

[DixonHur 11941]

College football has a ref problem.  I thought it was a Rig12 thing, but it looks systemic to me.  That was another easy hold missed

the hilarious thing is ASU has probably looked the best today but they played Matt Campbell so who knows

Missed hold, missed illegal man downfield on the td.

As a somewhat neutral observer I thought the sec game was pretty egregious.

Oregon's offense is good. Their defense is mediocre. They benefit from playing in the Big 10 against shitty offenses.

If you get the 2, then a TD/XP puts you ahead or potentially wins the game. If you miss, you can still tie with a 2. The statistical odds of going 0-2 on 2 tries in CFB are rather low. 

[DixonHur 11941]

Push off by the TE.  If I were a Penn State fan I'd be pissed

[dcar00 14902]

OPI, no call.

Against osu psu had first and goal at the end of the half that osu picked off on one of the best picks of the year. And had 1st and goal on their last possession. 

They lost the game and didn’t look great on offense but definitely had their chance to beat osu and come into this game undefeated #2.

That is such bullshit.  

[naija 2961]

why can't we ever do shit like that in the redone

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Well, this is 2024, it happens multiple times every single week. It shocks me every time someone is so confused by it.

basically Franklin was saying I don't want to go to OT.

Not in that situation it doesn't.  By your logic you should just go for 2 every time.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Yes, it does. If they get the 2, they would have been down 6. This isn't some new thing that just started happening this week. 

 

Doesn't matter now though.

You should be a football coach…or something.

Franklin had decided he can't stop Oregon in an OT situation so he was deciding to start going for 2 to win it in regulation if it came to that.  If this is a 21-14 game maybe he doesn't do it.

I can see it both ways

[Bateshorn 9989]

James Franklin makes Mike McCarthy look like fucking Robert Oppenheimer.

I'm fine with that logic if the 2-pt conversion is for the win.  But not when you still need another TD anyway with lot os time left in the game.  You can't assume Oregon won't score again.

I think it's more likely that Franklin is just not that smart ...and taking a timeout on offense right there is another piece of evidence in that direction.
