First official depth chart:

Be interesting to see how Ricky Slade does this year. He's not listed as the starter, as all 4 RBs are designated as OR. Be cool to get himself drafted by the Redskins or Cowboys and PSU RBs will be dominating the NFC East even more.

I'm excited to see Hamler this year. Another year under his belt can only be good for him. He's such an electric player.

I'm excited for this season. I'm still dreading the inevitable clueless Franklin game.

Maybe he’s lulled everyone at OSU, Michigan, and MSU into a false sense of confidence.

I am uninspired by the start of the Clifford era.

Might be Idaho, but nice to see them putting up big numbers. In so many of these games over the last few seasons they've struggled in these ones

First actual game... I'm not ready to pass judgement just yet.

Nice win. The beginning was shaky, but once Clifford got past his first game jitters, I thought he played well. He still has room for improvement, but I am not worried.

You got to be happy for Nick Eury for getting his 1st TD since he most likely won't see another carry for the rest of the season

While I enjoy watching them dominate a team on the defensive side of things, I wish it was against a real team so I could get more excited about the year.

Postby **count2infinity** » Sat Sep 07, 2019 8:24 pm

Never mind. This team blows.

Yup....the inevitable stinker against a stinky opponent.

Clifford hasn't missed a pass and it's 7-3 halfway through the second. HOW? Buffalo dominated TOP on the ground, that's how.

2nd half team

2nd half team

Always have been with Franklin.

Attended the game. Buffalo won the line of scrimmage in the first half and yet, they only scored 10. Things were much better in the second half but they can’t afford to come out like that next week and beyond.

Hate saying I’m disappointed with a 32 point win but I am. I get that it is a young team and really I am expecting probably 8-4, but came out soft and that will not fly later in the season.

That said I think Clifford could be special in the next few years.

Yeah...I got that 'playing with your food' feeling in the first quarter. Especially on offense. Felt like they were trying to be cute instead of showing up and imposing their will. It's been a pattern under Franklin, so I can't say I was surprised.

In the past few years, I’ve seen this kind of stuff from franklin. They don’t use their best stuff during their occ games. They seem to be saving it for B1G play. It’s weird.

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Wed Sep 11, 2019 11:43 pm

Is there a game this weekend?

Postby **Beveridge** » Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:35 am

Exhibition

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Thu Sep 12, 2019 9:39 am

Another Idaho-like opponent.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Thu Sep 12, 2019 12:09 pm

-17.5. Do it.

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Thu Sep 12, 2019 12:10 pm

I can't do it today but perhaps at 5:09 today or tomorrow, someone could start the game thread for Saturday.

Postby **count2infinity** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 4:10 pm

Rahne needs to get his sh*t together. There were plays that we were killing them on, and he just abandons them. I can't recall a single RPO that Clifford kept, so why even do it? Bizarro 3rd down calls. Just be better.

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 4:53 pm

You wonder why PSU is bad on 3rd downs? Look at a lot of the playcalling. Pretty simple. That swing pass was working great and I don't remember seeing it after the first drive of the 3rd quarter. The defense has got to get better about covering the middle of the field because every team is going to expose the overpursuit of the front 7 and very little adjustment has been made the last 2 weeks.

Only reason why they won that game today was because Nardouche is a GD moron.
