Just watched the end of the game and find it unbelievable that we didnt even go after the punter on UCLA’s final series. How in the hell were we not prepared for them to do what they did to run time off the clock ???? Totally ridiculous coaching gaffs in this game that all should be fireable offenses !!
Time to turn the page and gets some excitement going and get something to build on.
@southern-psu-fan That series at the end of the first half and his explanation afterwards was also ridiculous. Out coached again by someone with no head coach experience.

As they say here in Texas "all hat, no cattle"
It's what I have been saying. Yeah Allar aint great but take the past 9 years and you can't blame him for all the big game losses, stupid cosching mistakes, and can't blame him for today either.
He and all of it are Franklin. I even blame Franklin for the coordinators. I said that about Yurich and I say it now about Kotelnicki... these do not look like the same OCs they were at their previous stops. They are probably being bombarded with Franklin's run first no mater what, establish the run bullchit mantra.
He literally hires people for their success and then changes what made them successful. And don't get me started on the WR coach. Just... I can't even. WTF is that guy even doing here?

And why was Singleton on the field at the end instead of his best player in the game which happened to be Allen? His loyalty to players no matter the circumstance is also a fault.
I gave Franklin more time than I should have. I know you have been on Franklin for longer, and maybe that's why I am so nuclear about it now. I let the wins against crap teams and "oh so close" losses to good teams continue to get me to say "we are sooooo close just need to get over the hump" again and again.It's what I have been saying.

The Oregon loss took the bliders off, and now any civil guard rails are gone. Fire him. I don't even care if we beat OSU and Indiana at this point. Want to know why? Because they aren't big games anymore! We aren't getting to the playoff even if we win out.
Heck, if Franklin wins those games it would be like a final slap in the face. "Hey look, I can beat those teams when nothing is on the line"
Minor oversight (my best sarcasm), they were sure he was going to punt and they were setting up the return. The announcers had been debating for 2 plays if you punt or take the safety but evidently no PSU coach identified the possibility. Funny part is that all 10 players stuck with the make them punt plan and when the punter started running backwards they all looked confused. That and the end of the first half were coaching sins.
I have been defending Franklin but it stops today...This has to be the most poorly coached game I have ever seen...You don't see this kind of bullshit in high school...I fire Franklin and elevate one of the coordinators for the rest of the season and see what happens...What a waste of talent...The only question left is who are they going to bring in...Get the exploratory committee going...Bring in the best candidate and hopefully the money will come in as well...There is just no excuse for this garbage...This was bad...REALLY bad...He has to go and the sooner the better...
It was a lack of communication and not caring imo on the punt regardless of what it was it ain’t good!
I've said it so many times I kinda just shut up because I didn't want to keep boring you guys - Jimmy needs to go & he needs to go now!
