Penn State Loaded With Talent But Horrible Coaching....

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

.....Franklin's Sidelines are full of confusion and this is there 7th game? What a waste of talent and Franklin & Staff will never have a winning record against Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio, Fitzgerald and Narduzzi.

What a waste of Recruiting Talent and if Penn State Players want to learn to play with Success in the NFL they have to go elsewhere like Michigan, MSU, Ohio State, NW, or PITT!

Hackenberg is hurting badly and the best way to save his career for the NFL is not to play too much at Penn State. Barkley is all I felt and predicted he would be and more. However, Penn State Franklin is not a very good coach in the Big Ten.

Ohio State is showing how to beat them just like temple did, but did it in the Second Quarter instead of the Second Half?

Fast Franky is baffled as his Players and his Staff now understand that having 100,000 Fans in the Stands does not win Football Games? Soon the Smarter Recruits will learn that too, and not choose Penn State?

Who cares

 

[Pittx9]

I don't actually "care", but it would almost anger me to see Penn State be successful. Say what you want about how I feel, but the NCAA gave them a slight slap on the wrist and the fans basically just said let's get back to football. Sorry, that doesn't cut it for me. They don't deserve to ever see a winning football team again.

Couldn't agree more!

No doubt they should have gotten the death penalty. I don't root against them because we used to be huge rivals or because I'm jealous they have 107,000 steel benches, I root against them because loyal Penn Staters tried to make it out like others were "victims", many times saying the real victims weren't even victims at all. That is the one thing that just really angers me more than anything, in terms of what happened in the aftermath.

I honestly do not care if Barack Obama, The Pope, and anyone else in power you could ever think of said Joe Paterno did everything right "by the law." When it comes to a situation like this with kids, anyone that's a half decent person would drop everything and SPRINT to the nearest police station!

They are loaded with average talent and coached with an average staff. They are better than the dregs of the big ten and little else.

 

[Pittx9]

Barkley is the real deal, which really says a lot about how bad Hackenberg really is for their offense to still be terrible with such an elite RB talent. Also James may soon be formerly from State College.

 

[ratking17]

Penn state down 28. Hack still in getting sacked. Franklin doesn't care about anyone other than himself. Why recruits would allow him to ruin their nfl careers is mind boggling

 

[crharris8892]

I know you really like Penn State, but please stop acting sympathetic to them. I and most of us don't care about feeling sorry for them.

 

[Pittx9]

That was great seeing Ohio State clobber Penn State, but one thing about them. Is it just me or is Urban Meyer kind of an odd dude and sort of resembles how I see Fraud Graham looking in 10 years?

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Who cares

Recruits will care as they see their talents are wasted!!!

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Just the opposite, the wussies here that don't care can ignore the posts, and show you don't care by ignoring the post than cry like babies?

 

[rpost3]

Their RB is no joke. I saw the 4th quarter and the move he made in the hole before taking off on that long run was something.

I said all of last and early this year, Barkley is the Real Deal, maybe as good as Dorsett or Shady, Pitt is playing them next year, and why I post on them.

They have a terrible OL but he still can run behind them no matter how bad they after playing? Franklin could not ignore his talent and had to play Barkley but Franky is still a bad Game Day Coach!

 

[Pittx9]

Yeah as much as it looks like Penn State is not going to be much of a decent team next year, I'm a little nervous about Barkley. Although, we did just get torched by the triple option (as many do), only to turn around and completely shut it down in the second half. Maybe he won't be a problem next year as they look like a very, very one dimensional offensive team halfway already through this season. No question though, he's a freak RB, almost 200 yards tonight he really was their whole team.

All wasted effirt for Barkley, because Meyer's Defense had no problem beating the Nittany Lions even with Barkley great performance. MSU, Michigan and good Defensive Coaches won't either because Franklin is not a Good Game Plan Day Coach.

Miles Sanders is the one to needs to be smart and see where he can play because he is not going to unseat Barkley for 2 years at Penn State?

 

[deepelemblues]

As ESPN reported a majority of the NCAA boardmembers wanted the death penalty but they ultimately decided against it. Probably because they were scared of cultists going nutso. That sure worked out well for everybody...

 

[Pittx9]

Yeah I really don't see why Miles Sanders would still have any interest in going there? Barkley is just now a freshman, even if he leaves school early, he can't for 2 more seasons. So yes, he could be the starter by his redshirt sophomore year (maybe not though, maybe it's already his junior year). Does a kid that highly sought after want to not be the guy to back for that long?

I could be wrong, he could be looking that far down the road and think that's whats best for him. But chances are, this kid thinks and/or knows he can really play the game of football. Usually you're gonna want to do that as soon as possible when you're at that level.

Will be interesting to see how it's handled, if at all. Could be some indecision/possible signing somewhere else or he may just stick with Penn State.

 

[CFNiteHawk85]

Good to see PSU get rolled by the first decent team they played all year. Bunch of scumbags. I'm not sure how you guys tolerate being in the same state with them. I can't stand being in the same conference, even in opposite divisions. They lower both the state of PA and the Big Ten.

Congrats on the win and good luck the rest of the way.

Part right, but it was about the Big Ten stepping in and making it about the money! They Big Ten took away Penn State Bowl Money and had no problem with Penn State having spend millions more to solve their Scandal, that would only advance other Big ten Teams & programs as it lowered PSU, ......so long as the Big Ten could keep showing Penn State Games on the Big Ten and other Networks without losing money for the Conference, it was OK for the Big Ten. The Big ten has not reversed their Sanctions and removed that money, it just reduced them like the NCAA! The NCAA Sanctions stayed too for those 2 years but did removed the Vacated Wins!

Ask most on here, we don't ever call ourselves residents of Pennsylvania. It has a bad vibe to it because of them.

I wish Miles Sanders success no matter where he goes and that includes Penn State!

Yet, Dorsett, Fitzgerald, Revis, McCoy, Donald, Connor, Boyd & now Whitehead all chose Pitt and all played early and often because that was the smart thing to do for their careers by looking who is ahead of you, why the Team needs you, and how will a coach coach you? But if you don't get the opportunity to play you can't become better sitting on a bench???

Just ask Marmo, Johnson and Foster that all chose other Universities and ended their careers before making them and later that even causes you success or busting in the NFL, just ask Clarett & Pryor when the college abandons you???

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

I have been around when others attack people that wear Penn state gear, hats, or jerseys, it causes a flare up, and sooner or later you hear, you should be embarrass by wearing that and what happen at Penn State, they try and defend it, and say others don't know the full story, but most do! No matter what they no longer have a swagger and always walk away with a look of frustration reality they cannot erase.

 

[MajorMajors]

--I only saw the end of the PSU - OSU game and I couldn't believe that super-genius Franky still had Hack in the game and limping around when there were 4 minutes left and they were down by 4 TDs. Was Franky paying attention?

--Ohio State uniforms looked awful to me, but as usual, PSU looked like they were playing in their practice unis...

--Barkley looked very good; but he runs for 200 yards and they score 10 points??

Go Pitt.

Am I the only not not seeing this talent???

 

[DC_Area_Panther]

@MajorMajors--I had exactly the same thought. What the hell was Franklin thinking keeping his limping 1st team QB in the game at the end--even if he was only handing the ball off? Made no sense whatsoever--he was running a risk of losing the guy for the rest of the season.

 

[ratking17]

Kid had 200 yards rushing and they score 10 points. Enough said right there

 

[runthewildcat]

They have a pretty good running back but Ohio states defense is a shell of them self from last yr. And Hack is so overrated. So tired of hearing it's the coaching and the offense. If he's as good as people say he'd make it work. He's a tino/savage/morelli all in one.
Rest of penn states team is average at best.

 

[ratking17]

He got cleated and you would have thought gangrene had set in and amputation was scheduled for this morning

 

[pierre93]

Yeah st penn, it was a little different playing a good team besides the little sisters of the poor. So sick of the whole entire st penn mantra.....blah blah blah blah. Maybe Frankie boy can load buses up and visit Jerry in Waynesburg for a pep talk.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Am I the only not not seeing this talent???

If Pitt added Barkley, Hamilton, and some others on Defense with Pitt Players right now, Coach Pat & Staff would have them in the Top Ten and playing Ohio State far better.

In my opinion, Pitt would be 6-0 with its Schedule, and 7-0 or 6-1 with Franklin's Schedule, and 6-0 or 5-1 with Holgrosen Schedule.

I can wait for the entire year to play out, but Pitt still has to play and win 6 more games?

Pitt would've blown every team out of the water on Penn State's schedule up until the Ohio State game. I'm not so sure about WVU's schedule though. Oklahoma is always tough and they just played Baylor. I actually thought WVU was gonna be better this year, but I think it's clear we're a better team than them. So maybe not 6-0, but we'd definitely be in better standing than they are right now if we had their schedule.

I'll take what we got though. Not as tough of a schedule as WVU, much harder than Penn State's first 6 games though.

The game was over in the Second Quarter just like it was over right into the Third Quarter after the Second Half against Temple.

The Team actually plays worse as the game goes along and not much improvement seen from game One to Game Seven. Penn State is a Paper Lion on Game Day and so is Franklin as a Head Coach! He can recruit but acnnot compete with Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio, Narduzzi, Rhule and Fitzgerald.

You can see it on his face and the faces of his coaches on the sidelines and now on the players too. Recruits will quit listening too sooner than later. Only the dumb ones are now falling for the 100,000 Fans, it is about coaching to win in the Power Conferences of the FBS-NCAA and coach up Players for the NFL to make million. Coach Franklin is having trouble beating Army!

"MajorMajors, post: 416558, member: 1140"]--I only saw the end of the PSU - OSU game and I couldn't believe that super-genius Franky still had Hack in the game and limping around when there were 4 minutes left and they were down by 4 TDs. Was Franky paying attention?
Hack and his family can't wait for the Penn State Season to end so he can get out unhurt. You are spot on again, why having him in that game while he was limping? It shows Coach Franklin has no respect for his players and needs to play them to gain experience even if it hurts them? Meyer's almost ignored Franklin after the end of the game and Franklin looked like knew he is in trouble as a Head Coach. The OSU Players were taking cheap shots and enjoying it since some PSU Players were trying to do the same?

The Big Ten Posters from Iowa, Michigan and MSU post here at times, showing their disdain for Penn State arrogance and ignorance. On the GiridIron, it is even worse for the Penn State Players being taunted by the other Players that outright disrespects them, in the stands the same thing!

The Big Ten Fans tolerate Penn State but few to none respect them and that is due to how they act and bad mouth everyone outside of Happy Valley!

--Ohio State uniforms looked awful to me, but as usual, PSU looked like they were playing in their practice unis...
Look like Virginia, going with the All Black look based on studies Darker Uniforms dominate and win more? The Penn State White Pajamas actually look like Underwear and are starting to play like they just got up too?

--Barkley looked very good; but he runs for 200 yards and they score 10 points??
He has great talent, i said it he would become the Premier Best Back out of all Recruits in 2015. If Pitt had him he would have over 1500 yards right now! Franklin will have him limping sooner or later as well. Franklin can recruit but his coaching is in trouble and he knows it? Staffers will be fired after the season and soon leaks will happen talking about how Franklin is conning recruits and doesn't practice what he preaches.

Narduzzi is a real man and coach! Same with Meyer, Hrabaugh, and Dantonio!

Go Pitt.

It's not easy especially when that scandal is what everyone else identifies our state with. They have disgusted the entire nation while shaming our entire state.

And with all that, their fans truly believe the true victims in all of this are them. They are a disgusting bunch who deserve the death penalty in football, but since money is the most important thing to society, they at least deserve horrible football for the next few decades.

Good to see PSU get rolled by the first decent team they played all year. Bunch of scumbags. I'm not sure how you guys tolerate being in the same state with them. I can't stand being in the same conference, even in opposite divisions. They lower both the state of PA and the Big Ten.

You mean LOL about your performance last night? I do feel the pain that your team actually had to leave the state of Pennsylvania for a game. I'm sure it was quite a strain for all of you. Rest up.
