    franklin doesn't like the deep ball. This is one of my favorite coach replies of all time. 

    There’s a difference between intelligently stretching the field vs just throwing it up blindly and hoping for the best. Under every OC Franklin had before Yurcich a significant part of the playbook involved stretching the field vertically, because of course it did. 

    The passing attack has made absolutely no sense all season. The blame deserves to be spread around. This is the weakest WR group PSU has had in almost 2 decades. Most of that is on Franklin since he builds the team.Some of that is on Cephas, who was expect to be the WR1 or 2, not knowing the playbook for most of the season. Aller has been pretty bad at times in throwing accurately, a mix of inaccuracy and wrong wr routes. It’s just a whole load of shit from Franklin on down to the individual players. 

    But when Klatt is regularly calling out the play calling as “pedestrian” and “unimaginative” over multiple games, gotta get rid of Yurcich. 

    Franklin has had 5 OCs in 10 years at PSU, 2 have been hired away to be HCs but this is the 3rd he’s fired. If he misses on this one it will be his 3rd miss in a row.

    A lot of the “go for 2” analytics started looking bad once more teams actually tried it, same for onside kicks. Going for it on 4th has held up. 

    Mike Tomlin used to go for 2 a lot on his first td of the game, when he had the offense to do it. If you have an offense that can convert 2 yards more often than not, then sure, go for it. But if you can’t, the analytics break down.

    Dude quit on his team. You can’t dispute what I said. People were on his jock from day 1. 

    I’m just saying that he was mentally soft. Got hit a bunch and just crumbled. Contrast that with Roethlisberger when he had terrible lines and stood in there and delivered over and over.

    State Pen fans around here were talking him up as the next coming of, some future NFL star. Of course, they did that for Christian Sackenburg too.

    The o line broke Hackenberg more than anything. Sacked 11 times by Temple. I watched Paris Palmer block his own teammate out of the play to give up a sack against northwestern.

    It's doesn't matter.  If you hadn't noticed they have no skill talent either.  At least not at WR.  Their offense is Singleton and a plodding TE. 

    The all MAC wr transfer, Cephas, that had 2000 yards over the last two seasons has been a major disappointment. Hasn’t been able to get any separation all season.

    we probably need Michigan to score on itself at this point... 

    not unheard of in this stadium. 2004 Iowa beat Penn state 6-4. Iowa backed up on their own goal line took an intentional safety to avoid giving psu a short field for a FG knowing psu couldn’t move the ball.

    They have Diaz and Yurcich as their coordinators?  Jesus

    Up and coming coordinator making a name for himself, gets hired by Texas, shows he isn’t ready for the big leagues, James Franklin wasn’t watching, “so and so is available? Hire him!”

    I haven’t read the actual punishment. Sounds like he can’t be on the sidelines for the game. Could he argue a loophole and be in the booth during the game?

    I haven’t read it either but from comments I’ve seen, he’s not allowed to be at the venue on game day.

    In that scenario it would roll down to the 5th tie breaker which is the cumulative conference record of cross division opponents. 

    PSU - Iowa, Illinois, NW 8-10

    UM - Minn, Pur, Neb 7-11

    OSU - Wisc, Minn, Pur 7-11

    Too late to edit, but winner of the tie breaker represents the east in the ccg, probably Iowa from the west.
