Franklin at st.penn

PSU is upset with Franklin for having such a poor record versus ranked teams. He is 3-10 versus top 10 teams. Another head coach feasting on mediocre competition and making a fortune doing it
At least Tressel had a gentlemen's agreement to lose 1 out of 5 games to Paterno, usually a final score like 10-12.
Iowa football is setting O/U lines that haven't been seen in 60 years. the gamblers are bumfuzzled.
Being a bye week I watched a good bit of the PSU/OSU and Iowa/Minnesota games today and am happy as hell that we have Marcus Freeman as our HC. For those complaining about Freeman's lack of head coaching experience, Franklin has 13 years as a head coach and Ferentz has 27. Their offenses are not merely bad, they are abysmal. I will take Marcus over either of those guys any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
You are spot on. I couldn't believe the call. They were only down 13-7 and their defense was playing well. Punt the ball and try to make a stop. But PSU doesn't get the first, OSU scores on a short field, and that was the final difference in the ball game. Pretty dumb call, I would say. It would have been one thing if PSU's offense had been moving the ball, but they were just awful. What made Franklin think they would convert on 4th and 3 when they were previously 0-11 on third down conversions?
This offense did not look like what they were doing at the beginning of the season (sound familiar) i know OSUs defense had something to do with that but I thought the media had PSUs QB in the top 3 in the big 10.
OSUs QB out played him. I know OSU had better Wrs, but PSUs defense i thought they would do a better job.
I believe OSU was missing 3 key players aswell
