  1. Psu called a timeout on the first attempt at the kick and it came up 10 yards short, but Iowa tried it again anyway.
  2. Iowa up 10-7 on psu with 0:06 left in the half they try a ~65 yard field goal. Gets blocked, psu scoops and runs it back for a td to end the half up 14-10
  3. And that will bring Penn state's NHL draft picks on the roster to 4. Those other schools are probably at 10-15. And that’s why PSU probably still falls short of those teams in the playoffs.
  4. Yes, but he’s going to be the first pick in the next NHL draft.
  5. I was hoping they’d hire Brady as OC when they fired Yurcich since he was a GA at Penn state early in Franklin’s tenure, but he was very shortly thereafter made OC in Buffalo. Seems like he’s an NFL guy and a good bet for an NFL head coach job. I do wonder what if any relationship he and Pegula have.
  6. Apparently Franklin tried to get a contract extension this past summer. With 6 years left on a 10 year contract. Thought he deserved it after making it to the semifinals last year.
  7. I’m sure there’s some legalese that prevents him from taking next to nothing, but he should definitely try to take less than he could otherwise get and put it towards players or staff.
  8. Franklin is 53. His ego won’t let his career end like that. He’ll be coaching again in a year or two.
  9. I don’t know what the requirement is, but he’ll have plenty of schools calling him. I wouldn’t be surprised if him going and interviewing for a job is enough to meet the expectation. It’s more about the offset and it applying to any football related activity so him going and doing tv still offsets the buyout. But I expect he’ll end up somewhere like VT. If not for next season the year after.
  10. The difference between Franklin’s buyout and Jimbo’s is that Franklin’s contract has a duty to mitigate that requires him to look for a new job and the new salary offsets the buyout so psu only pays the difference, including if he becomes an analyst not just a coach. Jimbo had no duty to mitigate and there was also no offset if he got a new job, so A&M pays him the buyout no matter what.
  11. I guess since I’m one of the few psu grads here, it’s my job to post this.

  14. Got 3 more points and still lost. First and goal from the 7 with 7:53 fake handoff to saquan, qb 3yd run to 4 fake handoff to saquan, qb 1 yd run to 3 handoff to saquan -3 yards FG, 38-27 5:42 OSU gets 6 with a failed 2, 38-33 4:20 PSU next possession from their own 15 the OL turns into a sieve. Wiffed blocks on every play. Saquan -7, -3, 5. Punt to osu 47. Osu takes the lead by 1 with a failed 2. Osu kicks it short, psu gets the ball ath their own 40 with Psu turns it over on downs in 4 plays.
  15. It was the level of failure, combined with all the money that got pumped into this season to give him his shot for a national championship. All the NIL money to bring everyone back and fill in the holes. The 3 million for Knowles. Franklin himself said that this is the best personnel and staff he’s ever had. And then he managed to accomplish back to back failures that hadn’t happened in decades. First he showed that he still can’t put together an offense that can deliver in big games in the loss to Oregon, but the goal was still technically on the table. Then he becomes the first coach in 40 years to lose as a top 10 team to an 0-4 team. The closest thing I can remember to that was USC losing to 1-3 Stanford in 2007 as a 40 point favorite, but they rallied and won the pac 12 for the 5th consecutive time and Carrol won 2 national championships. Then, still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, he had to right the ship at home against northwestern as a 20 point favorite again at homecoming. Instead he became the first coach in over 30 years to lose back to back games as a 20 point favorite. And more than anything, he’s clearly unable to develop a quarterback, doesn’t know how to hire someone who can, can’t recruit quarterbacks, and doesn’t know how to identify if he has a quarterback who can win him a championship. Convinced that Drew Allar was that guy, he got the money and convinced Allar to stay for this year. Then he let Allar announce that he was coming back before the playoffs started so Pribula immediately entered the transfer portal before the playoffs started. This team would have been closer to a national championship with Pribula this season. A lot of people thought that late last year, but the guy whose job it is to know that couldn’t see it. Contrast that with Ohio state and Kyle McCord. They identified that he wasn’t going to win them a national championship so they brought in someone who could do it and they won it.
