Typical of PSU, but they happened to win. Franklin is ok, but imo if PSU gets to next level it is without Franklin imo.
PSU will have no shortage of things to work on this week at practice. Good Lord!
I'm no Franklin fan boy, but I feel like he's building the right culture. Personal responsibility, play 1-0 every week, he follows up with every players professors to make sure they are staying on track. Yeah, his play calls and game management in big games have been an issue, but I think it's improving and I see improvements in the program.
I think for them to be a true contender, they need to win the big games(OSU & Mich), Franklin seems to fall short when it comes to the most important games.
Yeah! It’s weird now. 1-2 losses doesn’t eliminate you from anything yet. Gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
It seems the more likely craziness is Texas A&M vs Texas at College Station, UW vs Oregon both off bye weeks, USC vs ND at USC, and Michigan vs Ohio State. There might be others.
I wouldn’t worry too much about ATM beating UTw right now, but stranger things have definitely happened. I like Elko, seems like an old school, tough nosed, down to earth college football coach. I just don’t see his team pulling this one out.
Of course there will be. The playoff and ranking committee's cant get off the SECs nuts. Just look at Alabama, who has 2 losses to terrible teams and the AP still has them at 12 or 13. They should be ranked around 17 or 18 but will somehow make the playoffs. Boise st and Ohio st have the equivalent of the same loss, but a different strength of schedule so I see a difference there. Miami/ND have a bad loss and are top 8, well above BSU. I feel BSU will get the shaft if ASU runs the table for the bye.
...did not anticipate that outcome at all.
No one did
Late November road games gets a few teams every year , home teams fighting for a bowl berth … etc
Be interesting to see if there is a physical hangover from having to play all that extra football.
