Drew, Tyler and Nick are playing amazing, and only going to get much better!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

[@cadeezra315]

I think Penn State's second half adjustment, specifically for defense, proves that the issue was not being properly prepared for this game. I think this will light a fire under Penn State, and they won't underestimate opponents like this again this season. I think this was a great game for an attitude adjustment for the team, but I hated it as a Penn State fan.

[@collegefootballwithsam]

If this offense performance and defensive performance is Penn State's floor, and I believe that it is, then this is a National Championship contender. Unless I see issues against Kent State or Illinois and UCLA, I am not coming close to panicking.

[@SPCpittsburgh0012]

Thanks for bringing me down to earth after that scare Sam lol

[@wad9799]

That 2nd half defensive effort was very promising. Bouncing back like that after sleepwalking in the 1st half. Nice to see the adjustments and flipping a switch like giving up 80 yards and 3 points.

[@kevinchandler179]

Second half, defense gave up 30 yards rushing, 50 passing and 2 picks!!!! I am not worried yet, bye week coming up, definitely things to work on, but better to have it happen early in the season!!!!! WE ARE

[@FranklinFanatic]

1-0 1-0 1-0 beat Kent state!

[@kevinchandler179]

@@FranklinFanatic Agreed, I am not in panic mode yet!!!! WE ARE

[@jkay8it]

I completely agree with you that this is our floor. This was just a combination of things that all combined to us having a really bad performance. We already played much better than this against a better team this year. I’m not really worried.

[@teresas8919]

PSU's secondary's lack of communication in the 1st half and the losss of KJ Winston attributed to many of the big plays in BG's passing game. The big run BG broke off was also attributed to PSU's front seven not being ready to get lined up properly. Take it for what it's worth there were some headset issues which also could've caused them not getting the calls into the Mike LB properly. Bottom line is the team needs to get a bunch of things cleaned up during the bye week or they're in for a rude awakening when they start B1G play.

[@brettk9316]

Penn sts tightend Warren is a beast!

[@kevinchandler179]

So is Nick Singleton!!! Look at the 2 games from Nick so far!!! WE ARE

[@grundy333]

It seems like, across college football, the NIL transfer situation where a team can literally have 30-40+ players coming and leaving each year, will lead to a much less certain season ahead. hard to predict what teams and what players will really perform week to week. The PSU offense looked similar at times to last season, where it was like "dive right, dive left, throw on 3 and 7, punt"... ultimately PSU's running backs are athletic enough that they broke through anyway. Seemed like when Beau and Drew were in working together it added a lot of nuance to the offense. 44 was the MVP all day long for PSU. Bro is a monster with speed and hands. Allar needed him, badly, this game. Franklin was constantly on the periphery of all the huddles on the sideline, defense and offense. It seems like he's letting his coordinators coach and he just kind of is observing. But at some point JF is the CEO of the team and needed to light a fire, did not see that.

[@billwalter9917]

One of the best comments I’ve seen on this PSU squad. Especially regarding Franklin NOT being involved with sideline activity. He’s an overseer. Remember how Saban would dive into the sideline huddle when things would be going sideways. Belichik - same with his “do your job” rants. The only time I see him get involved is when the team makes “that big play” and he jumps around like a schoolboy.

[@kevinchandler179]

Great point Sam!!! I said exactly that same thing, reminds me of Indiana last year!!! WE ARE

[@thorslate4010]

One of best shows great job

[@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379]

I think people would look at drew allars performance differently if omari evans caught that ball with the OPI. Also the Dline was bizzare, im not so sure our DE’s are what we thought they would be

[@larryizpr0]

Penn state gave up less than 100 yards in the second half. Major green flag for me. The offense was atill explosive but shot themselves in the foot. BGSU came to play!!! However with how well the Offense was playing i wasnt panicking but nervous. As PSU fan i believe they just didn't think BGSU would come in and do that. Their QB was on fire and their WRs made some great catches. Give credit to BGSU they may be bett3r than what people expect. I need a few games to panic. Cause destorying q p5 team on the road then playing a sleepy half isnt enough for concern YET. I assume winston jr leavinf game early they had to move Dbs around and figure things out (which they did). Im not sure rhey know the guys behind the starters in the DB room. But im sure theyll have it fixed. We Are. Should be unbeaten heading into the coliseum vs USC. I think they will he favored as well. Keep your head up with UM Sam. Im rooting for you guys vs USC.

[@kevinchandler179]

The secondary also had E. Washington step up big time!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

[@brettk9316]

Allar had some good passes called back or dropped. He played fine not perfect but fine cept for pick. I just know penn st better win 70 to 0 vs Kent st in two weeks!

[@brettk9316]

Kevin winston Jr leaving game super early didn't help matters either. Hope he okay or we might be in trouble.

[@FranklinFanatic]

I will say, it’s performances like this that gives a committee a reason to cut you from the playoffs we shouldn’t tempt them

[@kevinchandler179]

True, but if we can take care of business and improve, it will all take care of itself!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

[@charlessnyder9684]

Huh. I think Allar had a great game. Just the int wasn't great but you take that with the increased aggression.

[@kevinchandler179]

November 2nd I believe Sam!!!

[@brettk9316]

Where were the sacks from our superstar ends?

[@billwalter9917]

I think we all have to accept that the gimme games on the schedule aren’t as “gimme” as they once were. The portal and NIL have changed everything

[@zgsrandomnesshub7561]

I sort of commented this another video, and I know you've said about as much as well, but this year is just like that Billy Beane meme: There's Ohio State way at the top, midrange contenders like Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, and Iowa, and then there's the rest of the Big Ten. I fully expect Ohio State to be undefeated, unfortunately, but if the Big Ten conference didn't shut down divisions last summer, I think the west teams would've started upending everything. If Ryan Day ever steps down or gets fired, chaos will ensue. Yes, Penn State is probably the most likely successor, but they are weak enough that the old west division schools like Iowa, Minnesota, and now Nebraska could mess up a lot of stuff between 2025 and 2028. Of course, Michigan will rebuild, OSU will go get themselves a proper successor to Ryan Day, but the east's stronghold is in danger. Of course, Day is still the coach right now, and I doubt his seat is THAT hot, but the what if scenarios are coming to life.

[@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379]

Do not compare PSU to iowa, PSU is so much better and more than likely better than UMICH, not in the same tier

[@HemlockRidge]

I think Bowling Green got our Defensive Game Plan somehow. We were definitely "Out Coached" on Defense in the 1st half.

[@kevinchandler179]

I see what you are saying Sam, but the corners are very good and talented obviously, it's mistakes that can be fixed and cleaned up buddy!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled Bye week will fix it, I believe that!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

[@Sportsfan-v8g]

Bg had 3 points and 89 total yards in the second half

[@kevinchandler179]

And, only 3 first downs, and we had 3 tackles for loss and 2 picks, the Rohas pick was magnificent!!!

[@rteishe]

This game was a fluke. And don't get me wrong, I was freaking out while it was happening, but it was VERY flukey. Literally from the start of the day in central PA not just the game...rained all night and all morning, stopped and the sun came back out like right at kick off. Very sleepy day, I had kind of an oddly bad feeling about it from the start. Post "big game" hangover from wvu, and then it didn't help that Bowling Green was absolutely ON FIRE for the first half. Baelzak their QB looked like a first round pick out of absolutely nowhere, it was really bizarre. Their Oline is huge too. I'm hoping it was just "one of those things" and a fluke, and I'm pretty sure it was. In a way I'm kind of glad they got this early scare in a game in which they did get the W. Also, this theme was really "going around" last Saturday...wasn't just PSU.

[@kevinchandler179]

Very well said 👏!!! I think exactly that way!!! Boiling Green had 32 seniors back, and they are not coming to Happy Valley to give up and let us win!!!! Bye week to get things cleaned up, and nagging injuries to get guys healthy!!!! WE ARE, at least we won and didn't pull a ND or Iowa? Lol

[@rteishe]

@kevinchandler179 Bama too. That was a one score game until the last 6 mins of the game or so. Final score is super deceiving...Alabama was on the ropes until the very end where they rattled off a couple scores as USF was pressing the win

[@kevinchandler179]

@@rteishe Exactly right!!! Bama was actually up 1 point till the touchdown at the very end of the 3rd quarter, great point!!!! Oregon is overrated as well!!!!

[@kevinchandler179]

The offense also had dropped passes, sad to say!!!

[@thorslate4010]

The guys tried taking an early bye week noone took this game seriously lesson learned and drew is 100 times better than last yr

[@justinziegler5772]

I think this game also speaks to Franklin’s consistent habit of playing down to/underestimating his competition. Watching Penn State games for almost a decade he seems to have this issue more than you would like whether it is against Northwestern, Illinois, or Indiana the last couple years. This then has an impact on the players on what is a very talented roster. Might even be a factor when they finally take games seriously against Ohio State or Michigan since it’s their first time taking the their matchup at an appropriate proper level while those two, and other ranked teams for that matter, thanks to their coaches are used to playing at a high standard or have the attitude of “this is a college football team, we need to take this seriously given every game matters.” Very early and the a lot of ranked teams struggled in Week 2, but year after year after year of seeing this from Franklin makes me sit back think this is the same old story

[@armandhammer3782]

I think Penn St might fool us!

[@collegefootballwithsam]

Maybe they will. Franklin has done it before.

[@kevinchandler179]

Or, maybe everyone after week 2, is overreacting!!!!! WE ARE

[@erinmomen6175]

Young man. I'm not happy that watching PSU's game w/WVU, we benefited from a clear off. pass interference, & a clear fumble by Beau! 3 bad snaps eclipsed WVU from rushing for over 100 yards, whereby I saw them moving the ball! I ❤️ coach, but he made too much of player availability in our bowl game, many having the same problem. Our off. lines h/not been up to par for years. I respect them though. Let's take one game at a time, not taking Illinois or any team lightly.

[@billwalter9917]

Look more closely at the Evans play. That was DEFENSIVE pass interference and he still made the catch. WVU defender made contact well before the ball arrived. Yes, Evans pushed off but he was forced to

[@kevinchandler179]

​@@billwalter9917Agreed, A. Evans was being held and mugged literally!!! It was a good no call!!!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

[@kl.5191]

Fire Franklin actually, after this year, he should resign. This is the easiest schedule they have had in decades. Ohio is the best they play.

[@kevinchandler179]

He has already said, he will resign if we don't make the 12 team playoff!!!! WE ARE

[@kevinchandler179]

Also, I have never got an answer on tons of my Nittany Lions 🦁 podcasts, when I ask fire Franklin and what is the contingency plan????????? Please enlighten me, on who will win 10 games plus most seasons, and your candidates out there????????? Also, do you have 60 million dollars 💸 laying around to pay his buyout???? I am waiting for your response!!! WE ARE

[@kl.5191]

From the woke. Alabama coach retired, and Michigan coach went pro. You act like there are no coaches that may take this position. As for the 60 million, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the expansion of the stadium. One doner can handle that. However, it was fn stupid to extend his contract for so long. WE ARE not woke!!

[@kevinchandler179]

I am still waiting on a contingency plan, for firing 🔥 Franklin???? Lol WE ARE

[@kl.5191]

@kevinchandler179 Any of the assistant coaches could do as good as Franklin! Are you really this dumb that you think the only coach available is Franklin. Obviously, replacing him will never happen due to the woke people like yourself. Read the above. Lol..We Are...not woke. As we drop to 10.
