I'd still be surprised if they lost to MSU and Rutgers. They're terrible...

Didn't see the end of the game, switched with PSU leading and it looked like they were going to pull off a win. Didn't see until this morning the game ended with the patented "PSU QB throws a pick on what would have been a game winning drive" play.

I have misplaced my pants.
Everything James Franklin said during ESPN ‘College GameDay’ interview six days after Penn State fired him
Penn State moved on from James Franklin last Sunday. On Saturday, the former leader of the Lions offered his first public comments.
Maybe I'm not smart enough, but much of this interview doesn't make sense to me.
But this part just sounds like he's trying to make no sense:

I’m guessing the point he’s trying to make is that all outside noise can be dangerous, whether it’s praising your team or tearing it down.Everything James Franklin said during ESPN ‘College GameDay’ interview six days after Penn State fired him

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': I am trying to figure out what happened to Penn State this year. They were 3+ points from getting into the CFP National Championship Game in 2024 and have pretty much everybody (except Abdul Carter) back for 2025. Everyone expected them to be a "powerhouse team" in 2025. Look at their 2024 schedule, they lost to the only 3 really good teams that they played (i.e. Ohio State, Oregon, and Notre Dame). They had the best seeding in the CFPs having to play (CFP #11) SMU at home and then (CFP #3) Boise State. Needless to say SMU and Boise State were not the #11 and #3 best teams in the country; they only got the CFP seeding that they did because of their records in very weak conferences. Boise State's best win might have been against (AP #20) UNLV and SMU's best win might have been against (AP #22) Louisville (they even lost to (AP #17) Clemson in the ACC CCG).
In hindsight, I don't think that the "Pedsters" were nearly as great in 2024 as most people thought (i.e. definitely not a Top 10 team). And coupled with Franklin's propensity to lose the "big games";

they were probably just primed to implode/"crash and burn" this season.

Yep, and they also lost Tyler Warren.
Last year Allar couldn’t complete passes to his WRs, how was that going to improve by losing their best offensive weapon?

Just sayin': I don't think lack of a WR was a problem. They got WRs Trebor Peña (Syracuse), Kyron Hudson (USC), and Devonte Ross (Troy) out of the portal; and all three are starting.
Peña: 23 receptions, 221 yards, 9.6 ave., 1 TD
Hudson: 19 receptions, 218 yards, 11.5 ave., 2 TDs
Ross: 18 receptions, 255 yards, 14.2 ave., 3 TDs

Those guys have a total of less than 1 TD and 100 yards per game, so that’s not very good production.
