Get on with Grunkenmeyer right now the DA days better be over. Play Grunk Saturday and you’ll see ole Southern has been right all along. The only thing that can save this season and get things going in the right direction is to bench DA and get on with Grunk. We got a stud football team just having a competent QB on the field will help with what went down Saturday night. Bench DA play Grunk and we have a great chance to beat Ohio State. I’m telling ya I’m right. Drew Allar is killing us and it’s dragging Penn St football through the mud. This team has no leader on the field and it’s killing us. Trust ole southern on this baby!
@southern-psu-fan Not that I wouldn't mind seeing what Grunk can do, beating a 0-4 UCLA team won't prove much of anything.
If he performs good that’s better than what we get now. DA has stunk up the field all year. It would be a great time to get his feet wet. When you can’t get a big enough lead playing our first 3 games to give the backup some reps that’s a huge red flag you got trouble. Lol
UCLA has to be an equal test to the 1st 3 games DA had? And we knew that DA was unimpressive in the 1st three games. We hoped it was because the playbook was hidden from Oregon. I'm all for developing Gronk but protected and slowly. Not like that poor 5* Freshman QB we threw in against Alabama away. That kid never recovered.
Imagine this, DA decides his draft status has gone down and College $ is better 🙂
I don't even want to look how our XQB is doing at his new school.
I’d rather play DA and work on getting a comfortable lead with him and then hopefully let Grunk play the second half. If this team doesn’t come out fired up this Saturday and kick UCLA’s ass right from the start we’ve got serious problems that go well beyond the QB.
FFS 9 years of losing the big game since 2016 and you guys still think it's just the f#^#ing current QB
And please don't bring up some meaningless bowl game opt out bullchit.
It's a start. We'll see if Grunk has what it takes to salvage our playoff hopes & start getting him some experience so he can be ready for Iowa , & OSU!

Yeah keep thinking it's all Allar's fault. Let's just pass over the part where he actually has the only two meaningful wins over top 10 teams for this program since 2016.
If you want to say Clifford could win the big game, have at it. IMO that's a pathetic argument considering his only top 10 win was in a meaningless bowl game against a team who had their best players opt out and their QB got injured. Wow, big win there.
And don't argue some BS that I am saying Allar is a great QB. I am not. But F.F.S. stop acting like if we'd just play the backup we are the best team in history. Look at the record. IT IS NOT THE QB, IT IS THE PEOPLE PREPARING THESE PLAYERS FOR THE GAME.
We fall short just about every time. Some of you just got a blame the QB hard on for Allar like he was here for 9 damn years losing all the big games too. Some of you even discredit actually beating a top 10 team because there weren't "big names" so you can still blame Allar and say he never beat anyone.
Just stop it. It's quite clear the coaching staff is doing something wrong. Maybe it is their mantra, maybe it is plal calling, maybe they get tight, etc. Whatever it is, it has been happening well before Allar or any other current players have been here.
What have we got to lose? If Grunk does well, it looks like the problem is probably DA. If he lays an egg, go back to DA & start looking for a new OC and/or HC!
I wasn't commenting on who we play. I don’t care who the QB is to be honest.What have we got to lose? If Grunk does well, it looks like the problem is probably DA. If he lays an egg, go back to DA & start looking for a new OC and/or HC!
I am just not going to act like not being able to win a big game is just the QBs fault. It's been 9 years of this chit... it aint him
@roaminglion we talking about today roam. The QB stinks and Grunk needs to play immediately and if James Franklin can’t see this his ass needs to be shown the door! 0-9 if things stay the same!
6 for 12 for 45 yards in the first half in the whiteout against a team refudging building. It’s unacceptable!
@psujoe We can’t get a big enough lead homer to get the backup QB some snaps the dude ain’t good enough.
Maybe we are over rated like half the SEC Teams 🙁
That list is interesting. I will propose that JF at PSU has not beaten a single team on that list where he didn't obviously have the better players. I'd guess he beat some that had better players when he was at Vandy. The blocked kick scoop and score win against OSU who was the coach? We got lucky on that one.
Similar to what I say about St Nick at AL. Never won a game where he didn't have the better athletes...maybe I should say rarely.
Not one person would say Alabama had better players than Florida in 2009. Just sayin'Maybe we are over rated like half the SEC Teams 🙁

I just showed you that they have been the same for 9 years, and your reply is "the next QB will change things"@roaminglion we talking about today roam.

FFS, SMDH
So if the QB isn’t the issue we’ve got major problems and this season is going to be a bust that might get the head coach fired.
I never did believe any of the national championship talk.
@roaminglion we have a better football team today roam than we did James Franklin’s first 7 or 8 years. The sanctions hurt us back then and I defended James Franklin and I understood why we were getting beat. This is 2025 with a loaded roster but the QB is killing us.
Nick beat Georgia for a NC and imo Georgia had the better team.
Oh okay... 2017-2022 were all sanctions so we could forgive never winning. But as soon as Allar arrived no excuses. LMAO Give me a break.@roaminglion we have a better football team today roam than we did James Franklin’s first 7 or 8 years.

So what you are trying to tell me is that a QB who during his 3 year career as the starting QB who is a Senior and a 5* who in every big game against the top teams comes out shaky, throws interceptions during crunch time over and over again isn't to blame for what he does? It's the coaches fault?...I am no fan of this coaching staff but at some point you have to hold the players accountable...To think that when they go to Ohio State in the next "big game" he isn't going to perform the same and make the same mistake is delusional...As a team you can't have this and knowing this and still playing this kid is why I would fire every coach associated with the offensive side of the ball...I know the current QB ain't gonna get it done so why is he playing? I have no idea what the 2nd option is going to do but I sure as hell know what the 1st option has done and it ain't good...Roll out the 2nd option and see what he does...You got nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain...
I also agree with the Southern...The rosters we had the last 2 years are the most complete rosters this team has had in a long time...I truly believe they have the most complete team in the country from a roster standpoint...The only thing that is holding them back is the QB...I guess my eyes are lying to me...I just don't know how you can watch this team play in the big games and not come to any other conclusion that this QB can't get it done and isn't a pressure ballplayer...He folds like a lawn chair in every pressure situation at the end of games...The Oregon game was just unacceptable...The problem is there have been 4 or 5 of these performances in big games before this one...At some point enough is enough...If I am coaching this team he would be standing next to me with a clipboard and headset on...
@roaminglion how bad does DA have to play before you get him off the field?
I’m going to start call Roam little James lol. i messing with ya buddy and get you ass of your shoulders and go back to the post from yesterday and you’ll see I was laughing when I made that comment. You know I joke and laugh a lot stuff just looks serious when I post it sometimes 😂
Yes, when the QBs before him did the same effing thing why the #@!#@$! you think it keeps happening? Bad Luck? Every damn QB since 2016 has sucked in big games. Our team can't win the big game. FFS our team can't win big games for 9 damn years and somehow you all think the current QB is the only reason we lose.So what you are trying to tell me is that a QB who during his 3 year career as the starting QB who is a Senior and a 5* who in every big game against the top teams comes out shaky, throws interceptions during crunch time over and over again isn't to blame for what he does?
