His lowest percetage all year has been 65% and he has the 5th highest QBR in the FBS. I don't understand what people want from this kid. He has been fine, I am sure Franklin has confidence in him.I don't think JF is comfortable will Allar as much as we would like to think so. The kid is better this year, but he is still having some struggles and I think JF knows that. I think we will have a better idea about this offense after the USC game. This is a pretty big game, so maybe the new OC has had enough time to figure out his offense and the pieces will fall in place now. Who knows, maybe the OC makes a statement this weekend that shuts guys up like me! LOL
GO STATE!!!!
@roaminglion You're right. People are gonna see what they want to see. It's the ol' one, aaah shit! wiping out a whole bunch of 'atta boys! I plead guilty myself.
lol Kinda like my ex, one day, for no special reason I got her flowers. I gave them to her and the response I got was sneering, "What did you do?" Bringing her presents to make up for transgressions, wasn't/isn't even my M. O.
@been-there-ii Allar is having a good year I’ve road him hard but that was last year but it was his first year as a starter and my expectations were probably to high. I’m proud of the kid he’s stuck in there and it’s paying off. I did predict he would be a first round draft pick and I’m sticking to it. Don’t forget all the games James Franklin has won if we happen to lose Saturday 😂
Southern, what's fair is fair. Then don’t forget all the games James Franklin has lost if we happen to win Saturday 😂
I think this number is correct, but I am concerned about his 3-17 record vs top 10 teams over 10 years....he has only won 17% of those games.
JVP was 13-33 vs TOP 5 teams....28%
Against top 10 teams:
Saban: 23-7 (77%)
Stoops: 24-23 (53%)
Bowden: 34-51-1 (40%)
Now, had JF won those two games vs Ohio State that he had a double digit 4th quarter lead ?
5-15....25%
And the double digit lead in the Rose vs USC
6-14....30%
Yes, we can remember ALL of the games he has won, but those 17 losses vs top 10 teams are the money games and the games he MUST start winning sooner than later. To be fair, top 10 teams vs top 10 teams is about .500. And quite honestly, if JF was 3-7 instead of 1-9 vs ohio State, we would probably all feel a little better too. BUT, it was what ? 18 years or so before JVP won a National Title? SO guess we have to give JF another 8 years before we send him packing!
I honestly believe JF is fielding enough talent to win every season game the rest of this year. No reason USC can't be a win on the road and the fact we have Ohio State at home, I like our chances of the upset (here) like we did in 2016.
GO STATE!
Watching Vandy beat AL again...
The Evil Empire is saying USC has a 51.8% chance of beating PSU
Big home field advantage or the analytics (ESPN Computer) doesn't respect PSU.
......and Penn State is 5.5 point favorite? I am taking Penn State by 10! JF does the unthinkable, he cuts Allar loose down field passing and wins a game he SHOULD win on the road!
If we win I think we win big because it will most likely mean JF game planned to win instead of his usual conservative big game strategy of playing not to lose.
If USC wins I think it will most likely be by two or three points and a last second score after JF once again tried to sit on a lead and rely on the defense for most of the 4th quarter.
The Nittany Lions take on a USC defense that allows 158.6 rushing yards per game (tied for 87th).
we should be able to run the ball down their throats. Michigan threw the ball like 3 times lol…an ass full of Singleton and Allen should be on the way. If we can’t run the ball Saturday we’re in trouble. I’d like to see 300 yards on the ground Saturday.

USC is a hot mess right now on offense and defense. I'm intrigued by the 4 point spread. Penn State has to adjust to the time zone also known as jet lag which can be a strike 1 on Saturday.

It's best for USC to come out on Saturday and lay down for Penn State, just let Penn State do what they want. Lincoln Riley best bet is to ride out the season. USC will be in the playoffs next year.

We’re gonna run a lot, it will be the same old conservative game plan we use in all big games. We’ll continue trying to run the ball in the fourth quarter even if it was unsuccessful for the first three.
@psujoe the run better be working in the 4th quarter or we’ll be in trouble. I believe an ass kicking is going down Saturday at USC but I’ll be satisfied with just a win. Just win baby!

That has to be one of the dumbest things you have ever said. Of course that is quite a competition since you have said many many dumb things.
I am more worried about Franklin going with "they suck at run defense, so they think we will run" mentality and try to trow it all over the place like "they will never expect it"The Nittany Lions take on a USC defense that allows 158.6 rushing yards per game (tied for 87th).

@roaminglion is it me or do y’all think James Franklin is feeling he better win this game. He’s not going to get fired if we lose but it will be his worst loss considering how USC lost the 2 games they lost? This is a very important game for Penn St and James Franklin. Just my opinion

Not sure where you’ve been but believe it or not that’s definitely not his dumbest. That post is just one of his usual run of the mill troll fails.
Interesting that the betting favors PSU by 5 but betting is only about making $ and keeping the $ even on either side.
We have no idea what the ESPN computer models. Home field, performance history, JF results after 5-0.
From what I've seen PSU should be able to run unless USC commits the house to stop it. In which case we should be able to find some big plays throwing. UM could run and we must have a better passing game than UM. If we can keep an even TOP our defense will stand up. So if USC wants to win they need to roll the dice, stop the run, and pressure the QB.

It’s important as far as playoff ramifications, I’m not sure a 2 loss PSU team gets in if one of the losses is to USC.

On you tube a few podcasts are showing the models pointing to a USC win. Otherwise, everyone is picking PSU. Also heard more money Is coming in on USC
