Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

James Franklin has been there for 9 years already? Wow time flies.

Even funnier is he’s been there for a decade and they’re still not elite yet!

My biggest thing would be had a bye week and apparently just practiced defending jump spin passes instead of the run

Talent not required.

Talent not required.

It’s nice to see them throw their maybe-talented first-year QB to the wolves to get his confidence destroyed in garbage time. He’s definitely not a viable option for Ohio State, Franklin. Just keep rolling with Clifford, it’ll be great.

I hope it fucking hurt today.

The last thing a 10 year old boy hears exiting the Lasch shower...

Still not elite

I love that Franklin's contact allows him to skip town after 2 years, but he'll be unreasonably expensive to fire for almost a decade.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Please don’t fire James Franklin

So how did Barkley gain all those yards?

So how did Barkley gain all those yards?

In 2017, Saquon Barkley failed to rush for 100 yards in 8 of his final 12 regular season games at Penn State.
- He averaged under 61 ypg in those 8.

In 2016, he also failed to rush for 100 yds in 8 of 12 regular season games.
- Against Sparty, he ran 12 times for 14 yards. 1.2 ypc
- My personal favorite, two weeks before that, 33 rushes for 58 yds vs Indiana. 1.8 ypc!

This year makes Year #9. Paterno was fired in 2011, and their DC - Bradley, or something? - took over to finish the year. 2012 was Billy O'Brien, and he coached in 2013. Ohio State beat them 63-14 and he promised to "remember some things" about that game. Then he quit. 2014 was Franklin's first year. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 = 9 years.

In 2017, against Ohio State, I think Barkley got positive yards on about half of his final 20 carries.

My favorite Franklin story is when he used 2 Penn State time outs and 1 Ohio State time out to decide that the guy with 25 carries for 175 yards (7.0 ypc) shouldn't pick up the first down on 4th and 5 - the guy with about 46 yards on 15 carries should try to pick it up.
