Simply couldn't get Penn state off the field. Couldn't adjust to the tempo. Auburn shot themselves in the foot time and time again.
Has Penn State improved from last year? Absolutely
Auburn drove right down the field when they wanted.
So, who is the best Big 10 team? Is it Michigan, is it Penn State, is it Iowa.
Auburn was held to 20 points, that's not bad.
Still totally disgusted by the way the SEC refs called the game, especially gypping us that down
Sad when you are so clueless you can't take the time to pow wow and get the down right. But it came on the heels of an utterly rediculous grounding call. I propose they were so focused on that horrible call they couldn't think about anything else. They really embarrassed themselves. How many officials are on the field plus the review official and none were uncomfortable with the down even when told? Hours of TV timeouts in a game and then review time outs and they didn't take 60 sevonds? NOTHING?
Incompetent at best, biased at worst.
I hear in the background Sonny and Cher singing LIARS TRAMPS AND THIEVES. Somebody do a YOUTUBE video of the sequence to that music.
James Franklin don’t need to say anything and look like a crybaby there’s enough people saw what happened. Let the sports media say it the right people will hear. We have enough issues with the big 10 Refs so let’s not piss them off because all these Refs stick together.
Let the sports media do the dirty work
The media isn't doing enough to expose the garbage SEC conference and their baloney...Penn State wasn't the only team that the SEC officiating crews screwed over...They butchered the Memphis game as well...Their garbage was unsuccessful in both games thank God but they need to be exposed for the frauds that they are...They have been pulling this garbage for years and it's time for them to be exposed...
I was sure the refs were going to screw us late in the 4th quarter, was expecting a phantom PI that sets Auburn up at the one.

I wholeheartedly agree FD. Franklin should file a formal complaint with the NCAA.
Don't expect any congratulatory posts from Auburn fans here. They were some of the biggest jagoffs I've ever met at the Beav. Yes even worse than Meatchicken fans.

The SEC conference is a fraud and ESPN is complicate in perpetuating the fraud as they have a huge financial interest in doing so...They are the SEC and ACC network so that is all you need to know...If what went on yesterday hasn't convinced you than I guess nothing will...The sad part is this baloney has been going on for years...It's just they need to be more obvious about it now because they can't compete without it anymore...
I want to add one more thing...Go back and look at the tape...Check out EVERY edge block from Auburn and watch the BLATANT holding that went on...On many plays it just wasn't one guy holding but 2 and 3...I don't believe Auburn was flagged for a holding penalty all night...It's a disgrace...
Look at the calls.
- Bo Nix late hit was a cosmetic touch and a dive. Still our guy has to protect himself from that opportunist official.
- The first PI was borderline the receiver wasn't even looking for the ball and it gave Auburn a FG.
- The Targetting was ruled correctly but probably not really targeting.
- The scoop and score was not a fumble but I've seen them not correct that kind of call.
- The 4th down stop was only a stop if the officials blew it dead early...I guess they did.
- The pass interference on Dotson was definately PI. If someone says that was a 50/50 ball the DB still has to look at the ball and not grab Dotson
- The 4th down fade incompletion late was well covered and the receiver missed the pick to free up the receiver. No PI...sorry. But the SEC official could have called it...we were waiting.
- There was an Auburn spot where the receiver caught the ball coming back and continiued to give up yardage but they gave him the spot at plus 3 yards.
- Intentional grounding on Nix? The anouncers drew the tackle box line and best case he was on it.
All reviews went against PSU and as best we can tell some of the horrible calls were not reviewed.
Auburn fans are crying about the targetting and some 50/50 ball that was called PI. We only got one PI call so they must think Dotson was not interfered with and the DB was playing the ball. Living in some parallel universe I guess.
@the-funeral-director That article is espn talking about how bad the refs were. Let espn do the dirty work and James Franklin can be the man that doesn’t cry when something doesn’t go his way.
@psujoe Joe I had a total different experience all except 1 were gracious and wanted to witness the white out. Spoke to a few after the game and they said that was the best experience. The one bad one was sitting in the wrong seat next to me and was told many times, here the seat owner comes and this smug man says these are my seats and pulled out his phone and he is sitting in the wrong section. The he and the 2 Penn State people said they were coming back to kick his ass.

Hey underlion, I believe the song is gypsies instead of liars but it works just as well lol.
@psuinhawaii: This works!!!
😅 it works Tsuga. I don’t think I’ve heard that tune since 1970.
@psuinhawaii right you are. How did I miss that? Liars, Tramps and Thieves just fit so well. I'd like to use the Bubba Gump quote 'stupid is as stupid does' but I don't think stupid is the problem.

All good underlion. College football fans across the country witnessed your point. I’m just glad we escaped the incompetence or whatever the hell it was.
