It’s December, the first round of the college football playoffs and the Pitt Defense just sacked Drew Allar for the 20th time.

ESPN just said the committee values playing in a conference championship for why they moved Penn State down. You can’t make it up.

OSU did what PSU was unable to do in the first half. They stepped on the neck when the opportunity presented itself. Championship teams don’t let inferior teams hang around.

The underlying great news about the Jim Knowles hire?. Former St. Joes Prep guy. A recruiting hot bed that PSU has often struggled to recruit.

Penn State’s only losses come to the No.2 & 3 team in the country. In total they have played a total of 3 poor quarters. That’s all.

Sick of the same stuff year after year we keep getting this garbage. Penn State hasn’t beaten a top 10 team since Wisconsin in 2016. If you’re happy with that then we have completely different expectations for what this program should be.

It’s a hard thing to win 10 games in the Big Ten East. PSU did it twice in the Clifford era with mostly average QB play. IF PSU could elevate their QB play with Drew Allar, the sky is the limit. This could be a special group next year.

Indulge me for a second:. Penn State could finish 11-2 with a 5-0 streak capped by a Rose Bowl win over USC/Oregon. Arguably, Franklin’s 2nd most successful season ever.

Franklin says that "Mike Gesicki texted him" and reminded him that '16 got boat raced by Michigan went on to beat Minnesota and do some decent things.

Dan Mullen defends Penn State. If you play your “stub your toe game” and only allow 175 yards, that’s a good sign.

Penn State doesn’t lose to Oklahoma by 21 . Enjoy the couch.
@JohnkGK It’s far easier to do what PSU, Texas, SMU or Indiana did this year vs what Alabama did.

Meanwhile 10-2 PSU and 11-1 UM/OSU sit at home. It’s hysterical at this point.
Despite fielding the worst P5 offense in the country, Iowa (7-4) has now won four straight and will return to the Big Ten title game if the Hawkeyes beat 3-8 Nebraska on Friday.

This isn’t Georgia. This is Michigan. They recruit around the same kind of talent as Penn State does and they took us to the woodshed. Inexcusable.

You know PSU just turned a 3 Star prospect into the future No.1 Overall Pick?.
@HardcorePSUFB If they want to win and develop, they will continue to come to Ohio State.

Penn State is closer to where they want to be than where they don’t want to be. That’s clear after trouncing another B1G East opponent. Sometimes it’s good to remind yourself of that.

What they fail to mention in the title was the Rose Bowl had higher ratings than any other non-semi final NY6 Bowl. Higher than the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Cotton Bowl.
The Rose Bowl used to draw record numbers. This year, it drew a record low.

Franklin confirmed what we said on the pod last night about Singleton's long TD run. It was a fake check with me. The same thing they did on the Barkley Rose Bowl TD run. Crazy.

Breaking:. Penn State lands former 5 Star CB A.J. Harris from the transfer portal. Harris is a top 10 player in the portal and the No.2 CB in the portal. He was originally the No.2 CB in the 2023 class and No.1 player in Alabama. #psu #pennstatefootball #psunrivaled #cfb

A huge win for James Franklin too. His first Rose Bowl win and his first win over a top 10 team since 2016. At the beginning of the year I wanted this to be the team to stabilize the program. They’ve done more than just stabilize it. They excelled.

James Franklin mentioned before last year, he never had a player opt out of the bowl game. This year only JPJ has opted out. That speaks to the culture Franklin has built at Penn State.

Drew Allar is going to throw for 400 yds and the freshman running back duo are going to drop 250 on the ground against that terrible USC defense in the Rose Bowl. Can’t wait.
