2025 College Football Thread: James Franklin decides losing big games wasn’t quite enough (56 Viewers)

[whoknew]

When Ducks went up 17-3, I thought for sure the game was over.

 

[crushedspirit]

That was a sweet play call for the score

Same

 

[Andrew74]

I stunned at PSU’s comeback. That O was DOA all game.

 

[Jayded]

Something tells me not to trust Franklin still. He’s just got that weird unclutch gene. But watch them pull this off still.

Refs got involved

Refs we're involved giving Oregon a 17-3 lead. Glad they paid it back.

 

[Major]

I wish Oregon had some green on the unis

They do. The numbers on the jerseys reflect green in certain lighting.

 

[dickey moe]

This game's reminding me that I need to swab my ears.

 

[bolzano]

This game made up for what was a huge let down by the US Ryder Cup team.

 

[culdeus]

I don't get how this isn't targeting.

 

[General Malaise]

Targeting!!!!!

 

[dickey moe]

Surprised his head is still connected to his neck.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

How is that not targeting? Looks like the classic definition of it to me.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Targeting!!!!!

Home cooking. Unreal no call. Dudes head just about snapped off going backwards

 

[culdeus]

That commentator said he wasn't defenseless. Like what is defenseless? Actually in handcuffs?

 

[General Malaise]

Neat refs.

 

[Dennis Castro]

I guess I don’t understand what the “crown” of the helmet is.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Lead with the crown of his helmet too. Not sure what McCauley was talking about with the hairline of the helmet.

 

[Jayded]

If it’s not targeting, is it not still helmet to helmet? Weird that it was “nothing” with safety being apparently paramount nowadays.

 

[Corporation]

Bama holds on! Georgia is so good. Did not expect this win!

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

UVA > FSU > Alabama > Georgia

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Awesome ending

 

[crushedspirit]

And that is the true Allar experience

 

[Insein]

Sigh

 

[Jayded]

His QB too. Christian Gray redux, west coast style.

 

[Ilov80s]

That one has to kill the mood in Happy Valley

 

[General Malaise]

WOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOO


Over came crappy refs and what is up! Deserved!

 

[culdeus]

Is Vanderbilt top 10 now?

 

[Dennis Castro]

God, I hate Allar. Would a DIAF get me a timeout?

 

[Insein]

WOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOO

Speak nothing of the first half where the refs literally called zero holding but cry about the end. Even after winning. Typical

 

[Andrew74]

Oregon fans complaining about the refs is pretty funny.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Will be crazy if they can win in Tuscaloosa next week

 

[Major]

That one has to kill the mood in Happy Valley

Yeah, that stadium and probably the whole town was electric going into OT. Seemed like they were destined to win. Ouch

 

[Capella]

Penn State just has an assembly line of big, tall, boring QBs who were 5 stars out of high school but suck in college and then get drafted in the 6th round by the Jets.

 

[General Malaise]

Doesn't matter any more. Oregon won. Despite bad officiating.

 

[dickey moe]

So #3, 4, and 5 go down on the same day. When is the last time that happened?

 

[Dennis Castro]

Happy for @Schmeabs at least.

 

[Dennis Castro]

I just noticed that Oregon State has scheduled Washington State twice this season. Has that ever happened before? Seems like something you would see in the 1880s.

@General Malaise
Just curious. I know you are a Ducks fan, but do you like Beavers? Bummer about last night, but the clearly better team won in Happy Valley.

 

[Jayded]

Yikes just read that after tonight, Franklin is 4-21 against AP top 10 teams and 2-17 in his last 19 attempts.

Just saw a tweet that said Penn State is like if a bronze medal was a university but actually this stat makes that a compliment.

I want to see LSU and PSU in a bowl game this year. Between the two unclutch coaches, it’ll go on all night.

Let us know how we make this easier for you next time.

When you wake up tomorrow regretting this post attacking me for pointing out truths in the 2nd half I want you to know I accept your apology.

When you wake up and realize you look foolish complaining about referees after a won where the refs carried you the first half.

Your team needed the refs to even participate. Ha ha !!!!! Bye, Inse8n!

 

[wazoo11]

Texts from Nana: your school (lsu) lost to Ole Miss! What’s an Ole Miss?

 

[Sister Havana]

Lot of time left

IU wins

HOOSIERS! It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win and I'll take it!

 

[Schmeabs]

Happy for @Schmeabs at least.

Penn State tailgating and white out experience is legit! What a great game even though they almost blew it at the end.

I acknowledged my teams shortcomings. You seem to think the game was almost stolen from you when it couldn't be further from the truth.

I lived in State College for 15 years and have been to more tailgates (and games) than I can count. The only time I ever had a problem was when I rode in one day wearing a Flyers sweater.

I’m glad they were nice to you, even given the outcome.
