As a Buckeye fan, I sympathize with Nittany Lions fans as I suffered through the John Cooper era at Ohio State in the 1990s. A coach who couldn’t beat Michigan or quality teams. Franklin and the entire AD should be fired and PSU should never be satisfied with mediocrity. Keep your heads up, win out, and we’ll see you in the Playoffs. ✊
Ahh yes. The “media.” 3-18 against top opponents. 1-10 against OSU. Missed plays and bad calls aren’t the problem. They’re symptoms. Do your jobs and put pressure on the administration.
The score doesn’t reflect Ohio State’s dominance. Penn State was held to no offensive touchdowns and Ohio State’s O line mauled their D line the whole game,especially in the last five minutes when it counted. Then again the Buckeyes are “soft”. 😂
They knew the WR room was the Achilles heel. Yet did nothing about it. Can't blame Allar or the limited game plan if the receivers can't get separation.
Yall talked tough as shit before the game in here, talking about “don’t make excuses when we beat you” and you’re in here making excuses. You’re lucky this game wasn’t 34-6
@@johnhatton730 Ohio state threw a pick 6 , fumbled thru the endzone for a touch back and missed 2 wide open 50 yard touchdowns , you are extremely lucky
You know you’re a gun shy fan when your team goes up after a pick six and I immediately thought of Saquan running back an opening kickoff at Ohio State and we still loose the game…
It’s frustrating as a Penn State fan, but this year is different… Make it into the top 12 and you’re in… PSU win out the rest of the way, and you’re going to the playoffs
I guess it's easy for me to say, but if I'm a PSU fan I'm thinking......WTF with that play calling on 1st and goal at the 3, the QB swapping seemed to hurt more than help, how did the defensive line get handled by a patched together O-line with 2 players starting in a new position for first time in their career. Drew Allar made a lot of plays with his legs, that was unexpected (for me at least). Regardless, it felt like PSU was trying to get cute and win with smoke and mirrors, but they're still going to be in the play offs if they win out.
I have followed and been a penn state fan since 1964. This current team has not had a win over a team ranked in the current top 25. Their remaining schedule does not feature a team in the top 25. This program is a middle of the road program. They manage wins over the bottom of the big 10 and a few out of conference scrimmages. With two top notch running backs how can you not run a sweep inside the 5 yd line.very poor play calling and execution. The fish rots from the head down. Maybe it's time for a change.
the culture Franklin has built has ran its course. we need a new culture, a new vision. companies do this all the time. psu football needs to make the tough decision to part ways with james. it’s time…
I completely agree. We have become stale. Losing to Ohio state every year is not good enough. Franklin is a great not elite coach and that’s were our program has been. We need to take the next step to elite and that won’t be with Franklin.
Franklin has never shown the ability to make in game adjustments or half time adjustments. His pass games are all about the deep pass. If you can't pass protect or run the ball you can't throw deep passes.
Penn St vs OSU in a nutshell: PSU: "We got a new 3-star recruit! Woo Hoo!" OSU: "We might offer that kid a preferred walk-on slot, if he gets a little better."
Recruiting since 2022: Penn state (3) 5 star players, (31) 4 star players. Ohio state (3) 5 star players (38) 4 star players… your argument is invalid. Look it up
Terrible play calling. Embarrassing. All day. Should have started Beau 2nd half. Savior last week. Sat on the bench all day. Worst red zone coaching/ offense I’ve seen in a long time. JV. Sad.
BEAU should been try down there on 4th try on ball at 3? But instead ran up ball 3 time up middle and l notice 71 was going in motion on pull and if only Allen could slight bound over to pulling 71 had good chance 😉
No separation from the PSU receivers. Franklins poor clock management at the end of first half should of had 4 downs to get in. and coach K’s three runs in the exact same spot on the last drive
HC JF needs to teach more DISCIPLINE..#1 finger on a pick six BEFORE scoring. Unsporstmanlike After stopping on 4th Down Celebrating 1st downs like it was your first ever. After 10-0 it was already obvious the lack of discipline was going to cost us the game.
Good point..he has no discipline...recall even after the pick 6..PSU got penalized 15 yards for conduct...then the step over...coaches/players are crap.
People jump on me when I mention this, but Trautwein is a subpar O line coach. His lines have rarely been outstanding and in the big games often fail. They were pushed around again today and opened few holes for the running game. He may be ok as a recruiter, but in the trenches he doesn't shine.
He’s great at developing players. PSU across the board is great at development. Lots of guys going to the NFL. But Trautwein cannot make it translate on the field. Same thing with Marques Hagans.
You have to "buy" players now, OSU is said to have a $20 mil. roster, who knows what Oregon has with their connection to Nike. Georgia, Bama, Texas, to name a few, all have huge booster supported NIL pools. The days of top-level kids choosing a school because they "like" it are gone. This is not an excuse for the coaching staff, just reality. The difference in talent was pretty obvious to me at least.
Not his fault when you can't pass and open field then running becomes a lot harder no matter who your backs are! WRs and WR coach is the detriment to our team.
Penn State is a solid team year in and year out, but doesn't have Ohio State's overall talent. They need a big play wide receiver. Will Howard's 2 huge turnovers gave you chance to win this one.
Franklin must go. 11 years is more than enough time to prove you are capable of coaching the program to the top. Franklin is not even close. PSU deserves better, and yet signed Franklin through 2030. Terrible decision by the administration and it shows they do not care about winning at the highest level. Expect more mediocrity from Franklin.
Lions most effective play was the QB scramble. Smith had his fingertips on a long TD pass. He actually slowed his route slightly because Howard has been under throwing him all season. Not this time. It was a perfect pass.
Penn State in the top ten is like Hawkeye in the Avengers. They’re on the team and have some cool gear but they’re not really a top team/super hero. Beat up on the weak and get wrecked vs the actual elite.
No offensive touchdowns. 2 great defensive plays that cost OSU 14 point swing. Score didn’t reflect the actual game. But to be fair, we’re still always nervous going to that stadium.
I don’t understand the goal line play calling..we brought the big boy in motion to take out the D end and ran it up the middle..sweep that outside and that’s an easy td
Also, i am tired of hearing about Allar. he is not a five star qb. far from it. he stepped up in the USC game. can anyone name another game where we needed him and he stepped up? nope. kid has no moxy. give me a guy like trace all day, every day
As an outsider, it seems like Penn State is just missing the elite players and coaches needed to take a step up. Similar to Notre Dame, Mississippi, Oregon, Texas,etc. Every year they get the preseason hype, a high ranking, and are great at beating lower tier competition but can't get it done in the big games. Is it a culture, lack of confidence, or?
these teams are not close, PSU has a few nice defensive players and a few nice o-linemen, the difference is OSU is bigger and faster, will spend money (NIL), which I am against. I have been a PSU fan for 40 years; I always look forward to the season since I don't watch the NFL anymore (politics) ruined that for me. I hate to say it, PSU has a really good 5-star QB has no one to throw the ball too. I also think that Clifford staying for his 10th year hampered Drews development, imagine this would have been Drew 3rd year as a starter and WRs might have seen drew really come on as a QB and commit to this team. lower tear BIG TEN teams have WRs, and we don't. OSU secondary shut down our WRs even though they might have committed some penalties, not an excuse, frankly tired of excuses. Just tired of the same old crap, I will never see them win a NC in the modern-day college football.
Too bad people are so down on the coaches. Fans are negative about Day for not beating Michigan and his top 5 record. Penn state is down on Franklin for record against Ohio State. Both programs are competitive top 10 programs. This year is the best Ohio State Team I have ever seen. To get beat by Ohio state this season does not deserve a walk of shame. I was at Ohio Stadium in 2008 when Penn State beat the bucks 13-6. This was the best football game I have ever seen. Penn State has a good team and a good program. They have not been cheating as one team has in the big 10. Be positive support the coaches and the team and the program will produce great results.
Excuse state back at it again for 8th time in a row. Your team is horrible and the ref made the right calls. Game would’ve been a blowout if OSU offense if will howard played slightly better.
Can any of you beat writers ask Franklin about the 4 plays at the goal line & specifincally ask him if HE had any input on these 4 plays or was it all Koletnicki on each of the 4 plays. 7 games this OC is imaginative & then these 4 plays were ridiculous. It just seemed like Franklin took over.
Is Singleton still hurt but we need him in there as a decoy? I hope this loss doesn't lose them a home playoff game. If so, Kraft needs to look at how much revenue Franklin and staff just lost the university.
Penn State has a great 👍 football team & coaches. Penn State always has really scrappy QBs. I am a Buckeye fan, but I totally respect Penn State & admire the U too. Great campus. Great teachers. Great programs. You'll be back. Just keep swinging.
Even if PSu wins today they would lose in the big 10 championship and will lose their 1st playoff game. Franklin is not elite neither is Ryan Day neither team will win a natty with them as HC. 15-0 baby😂😂😂😂
If you fire Franklin who are you going to get? Your perfect Penn State coach is a coach that can talk a city 5 star into coming to a country school like Penn State and that doesn't exist.
With all Warren plays at QB/RB/TE at the goal line with your BEST PLAYER..5 plays he doesnt touch the ball...how can the OC/HC even have any respect in the room.
Penn State was on the 3 yard line and they ran the same play FOUR different times! Let that sink in! The coaches are worthless and they let the players down.
How can u call a man making 7 million dollars not worth it, I will be glad to donate to extend him, he is money in the bank , why do u think they were getting points at home, great job hats off to the coach, # cashing in AGAIN!
I get all the people screaming "fire Franklin", i get it, losing this way against the "elite" teams is getting old but heres the most important question? Who are you hiring ro replace him?
Penn State doesn’t have an “identity” on offense. Other than Warren, there’s been no consistent playmaker. Not at RB, not at WR. You’re not going to beat OSU with one TE and nobody else.
our offense is always missing something. this year? no wrs. they are all average. and we haven’t had a game changing rb since saquon and sanders. Seider should be sent packing after this season. and in case you are wondering, i am pretty sure Quinton Martin has left the program.
I'm sick of this! Fire Franklin hated the Hagans hire we need an elite WR coach and NIL worthy WRs to go with it! We need passing game to spread field and score!
This is debatable, but the loss this year is arguably the worst for Franklin. It is not just because it is the most recent. Rather, it may be worse because there was not a major talent disparity between the teams thus the coaching and game management are more under the microscope.
@ a major talent disparity would be more evident in a more lopsided loss. 2015 and 2022 are prime examples where Ohio State’s talent holistically dwarfed Penn State’s. If you think there is a massive chasm between the two teams after numerous close calls and a touchdown difference determined the game, you are brimming with bias, ace. Ohio State is a better team by multiple metrics, and the talent differential is not gigantic. Two things can be true at once.
Really? You literally can't be serious. The obvious one is receivers. Plus, Ohio State's recruiting consistently and historically out ranks PSU's. Franklin is a good recruiter and program builder, but he can't get classes equal to Ohio State. Forget better.
Hey on a yearly basis Penn State cannot be Ohio state Alabama Georgia because of recruiting we get all the players most of them guys go to the NFL you get a few players that go to the NFL You're Expecting too much out of your program
This loss was not on DREW, you guys always blame it on DREW, where the hell are quality WRs? DREW can do everything, he looked good, he had no choice to run, his WRs were not getting opened, once again you guys always blame drew. Trace isn't here anymore, get over yourselves.
We have a new 0C brought in for THIS type of big game ⁃ and we finish w/just 3 WR catches the whole game and our tight end as the team's leading rusher on 3 carries... and then not getting a carry at the most critical part of the game inside the 3. Kept trying to establish the inside run when it wasn't working, feels like a Franklin big game,
As a Buckeye fan, I sympathize with Nittany Lions fans as I suffered through the John Cooper era at Ohio State in the 1990s. A coach who couldn’t beat Michigan or quality teams.
Franklin and the entire AD should be fired and PSU should never be satisfied with mediocrity.

No point in that. It be another L. Besides, Minnesota gonna lay the wood to the Lions in a few weeks.

This loss was not on DREW, you guys always blame it on DREW, where the hell are quality WRs? DREW can do everything, he looked good, he had no choice to run, his WRs were not getting opened, once again you guys always blame drew. Trace isn't here anymore, get over yourselves.
Both teams are victims of the media “Hype Train”…just like the Dr. Pepper commercial 😂….Howard can’t lead OSU to the Natty…and I’m a Buckeye fan.
We have a new 0C brought in for THIS type of big game ⁃ and we finish w/just 3 WR catches the whole game and our tight end as the team's leading rusher on 3 carries... and then not getting a carry at the most critical part of the game inside the 3. Kept trying to establish the inside run when it wasn't working, feels like a Franklin big game,
WE ARE ……. THE SAME SH%|!
