This is like watching football in 1920.

This Michigan/Penn State game might end up lower than the O/U on the Rutgers/Iowa game.

I should've known it would be this kind of game and bet the under.

 

[The Commish]

WTF???

 

[NutterButter]

So close to a 1st down there for psu

 

[Tecumseh]

FRAAAANNNNNKKKLLIIIIIIN!

 

[msudaisy26]

Stealing signals from James Franklin should be punishment enough.

 

[Capella]

Allar was the third ranked player overall in that recruiting class.

 

[NutterButter]

There should really be a Harbaugh camera from the hotel bar

 

[Tecumseh]

My god that was dumb

 

[AAABatteries]

This is like watching football in 1920.

Horrible to watch - Alabama and Georgia currently petitioning for Harbaugh to be reinstated.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

That hit the ground

 

[NutterButter]

No interception. Psu still has life.

 

[The Commish]

Not an INT

 

[msudaisy26]

Georgia has one loss and two titles the last two years. If Franklin was the coach that is probably 4 or 5 losses and no titles.

 

[NutterButter]

Psu 1st down. They just need a bunch more Michigan penalties and they'll be in business.

 

[Osaurus]

Does Michigan have some kind of penalty gear too?

 

[msudaisy26]

are they really going to run every play?

 

[BobbyLayne]

If Michigan focuses on their TEs, it will be a good day

On the tisd road

I know Harbaugh made the trip, is he on the sideline for this game?

Nice stop there…

No

He might be in disguise

Kinda surprised the rumors havent already started

If I was a Penn State fan and was at the game I would have dressed up like him just for the laughs.

With a walkie talkie... whispering and not talking to anyone in the stands.

found him

Holy hell…

Why not kick the extra point to get it to 8?

 

[msudaisy26]

Two possession game because of that two point conversion in the first half. Lol

 

[The Commish]

These plays feel like they are directly from the "Football for Dummies" book

 

[MAC_32]

James Franklin on 2 pt conversion design is like Kevin from The Office carrying a vat of chili

 

[fasteddie_21]

God do I want an Oregon v Michigan matchup in the playoff!

 

[The Commish]

Someone should have told PSU to change their signs.

 

[dickey moe]

Lol at the post-game tears and profanity.

 

[Insein]

Michigan doesn't have their coach but Penn State still has theirs?

Mich 28
PSU 9

Close enough

 

[Stoneworker]

Oh hell yeah. Take a seat Michigan haters. Go Blue!

Still not sure how they scouted LaPorta in that offense

 

[Da Guru]

Franklin never seems to help his team win. Only hurts them

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Those guys need a bigger desk.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

A win for Michigan on the field but it may be a loss in the Courtroom. Missing Coach Harbaugh on the sidelines seems unlikely to meet the "irreparable harm" standard it needs for injunctive relief.

 

[fasteddie_21]

0 passes in the second half. Welcome to 1933.

Lol. He’s terrible. I told my son as soon as he went for 2 (it wasn’t even close), they’d regret it. They never got the ball back but you miss two pointers in a close game and guess what you are down 9 instead of 7. Way too early to go for 2 against a solid red zone defense.

He’s also not good developing QBs. That freshman looks terrible. I’ve only watched him today and against OSU. Seems like their QB play always holds them back.

Welcome to 10-0

 

[The Commish]

If they're going to give it to you, why not take it?

 

[nysfl2]

I assume that they'd kick the ball and play defense if they got the 2-point conversion, and go for the onside kick if it failed.

I think that one was the right call. Of course, they wouldn't have needed it if not for the dumb decision to go for 2 in the first half.

UM had a long run-only FG drive and then punted 3 times before PSU started going for it on 4th - not sure Michigan took much. PSU’s offense was just putrid.

I'd guess Michigan's adjustment on offense was due to the latter. The game was called as if they only needed 20 points to win.

NOT GUILTY!!!

Yeah, I take no issue with the go for 2 decision late. The play call was laugh out loud bad, but that's the spot to go for 2. Unlike in the 1st half...

Don’t totally disagree but it was still a one score game late - they had opportunities to put the game away sooner if they were a little more expansive.

He actually had a guy get open late in the front right of the end zone who was waving his hands around. QB just never even looked at him.

 

[Capella]

They said the Michigan interim coach now has as many top-10 wins as Franklin lol

I wasn't thrilled about it either. It isn't a new approach and lends itself to the opposition being one fluke play away from getting back in the game. I've just adapted to that strategy emerging at least a couple times per year and stressing me out.

PSU line was giving Michigan fits early and often. Yeah, this is flashes of what would happen a few years ago, but for different reasons and now with personnel that can actually execute and do what needs to be done.

The 1st half 2 pointer was the problem. The second one was fine as you knew you were going to have to convert a 2 regardless so you may as well try it on the first TD so you know if you should onside kick or kick it deep.

But going for 2 in the first half to try and make it a 3pt game was really dumb.
