Franklin in full panic mode

Hamler is very good but I feel like a fade to your shortest receiver might not be your best play

Best tight end in college football and you run twice with a midget, qb draw, then fade to a midget. Classic.

I knew as soon as that number 4 ranking came out Franklin was gonna Franklin this one up. He’s Narduzzi East.

Not sure they deserved to win, but that offensive pass interference may be one of the weakest calls I've ever seen given the situation. Minny got some really timely calls/no calls their way today. Kudos to them for taking advantage.

If that was a penalty the OPI that followed was one too.Not sure they deserved to win, but that offensive pass interference may be one of the weakest calls I've ever seen given the situation. Minny got some really timely calls/no calls their way today. Kudos to them for taking advantage.
Meh they played mediocre today and officiating didn’t lose it. Play better.

If we're going the Pitt route for comparisons, I'll say he's Wannstedt with a conference title.I knew as soon as that number 4 ranking came out Franklin was gonna Franklin this one up. He’s Narduzzi East.
Excellent recruiter, questionable gameday coach, and mostly bad in high-profile/pivotal games.

Impressions from Section 242...
*I've thought the secondary has been pretty poor most of the season but the pass rush has been able to hide it. Today, zero pass rush and Minny's QB was able to have about any throw he wanted in the first 3 quarters. He saw the blitz coming and Taylor was not only late coming over but also took a crap angle and that led to the first TD. Keaton Ellis doesn't look for the ball and then can't get a guy on the ground and that's another TD. John Reid doesn't look for the ball and he gets a PI that allows Minny to get out of the shadow of their own goalposts.
*I said earlier in the week that when a team is burying their opponents -- even if it's the lower-tier of the conference -- it breeds a confidence that you can be efficient with your playbook on both sides of the ball. Minny stepped up in class today and they were the better team on both sides of the ball. At least until Fleck decided to play clockball, which was incredibly dumb and nearly cost him the game.
*Speaking of Fleck, I need to know his 40 time. Bro sprinted down the field at the end of the 3rd quarter and he was flying. Laugh all you want about his Row the Boat stuff and his other quirks but the kids buy in and they play hard for him.
*Clifford got off to another **** start and it was costly. Two terrible picks in the first half, missed a wide open Friermuth down the middle on the 2nd drive, made a couple of bad reads in the running game around the goal line. But when he FINALLY stepped up in the pocket in the 2nd half, he was finding the secondary receivers and it was leading to some big games. Have to keep remembering that he's a first-year starter and it's a similar learning curve we had with Trace but his errors were big today.
*Goal line play calls were horrendous. You have a guy like Friermuth who is taller than anyone else and he doesn't get the jump balls? Nah, we'll throw em to Hamler instead. Fades don't work yet QB's continue to throw them and OC's continue to call them. At least throw them to a guy that's taller than 6'3. Not getting a TD at the end of the first half was a big big big thing.
*I'm virtually resigned to the fact that Franklin and Rahne and crew are always going to be a 10-2, Citrus/Outback Bowl type regime. 1-12 on the road against ranked opponents (1-13 in a couple of weeks after getting killed in Cbus) is just pathetic. But it's a product of just not being a very good game manager. Most times, it's been deciding whether to take a shot or going for it instead of playing it safe. Today, it was play calls in the red zone. They had 2 FG's and 2 turnovers in the red zone today and that was ultimately what cost them the game.
*Minnesota's a very good team. Antoine Winfield, Jr. is a ball hawk. They have big bodied receivers and a strong offensive line. They deserved to win that game right from the start. PSU didn't match the intensity in the first half. But what I'll remember most from this game is after the INT with 1:01 left, the amount of sheer joy and happiness from the crowd was amazing. So much hugging and high-fiving and exulting, like, 'my God, we finally did something right in football'. I had to move aside so people 3 rows apart could hug. And that's the first time I've been to a football game where the crowd rushed the field afterwards...actually, no, 2nd time -- 1983...long time ago. Gophers deserved it and I hope they keep it going.

I think we lose by 4 TDs. 38-10.
27-10 if the defense decides they want to tackle.

Gonna need something crazy to happen to stay close. OSU hasn't been challenged in the slightest at any point this season, so if they somehow keep it close heading into the 4th............
But yeah, this has all the makings of a bloodbath.

I said to a buddy at work yesterday "if penn state doesn't go into the half up by 2 TDs, there's no chance..." Welp, down 2 TDs? Toast.
Destroy Rutgers next week and enjoy a bowl game. See ya next year.
