I'm not a fan of the screen, but I'm about to change my mind.

If there's one play that UT has never been able to run, EVER, it's a screen. I bet our average yards per attempt is like -2 all time on screen plays. 

Yeah that's the thing. Can't just call the plays. Have to work on them and have everyone block properly.

you have 3 TO's  Urban.... HTF you get a fucking delay of game on the 2 pointer?

No doubt.

His demeanor during his post game/on field interview was strange.  I’m further convinced he’s done after this year & is already negotiated.

Not taking the points on 4th down and that play call at the end of the game are just two mind bogglingly stupid decisions.

Those down field blocks were fantastic.  That was a damn fun game to watch

He’s a freshman. 3 of 5 on the season or close to it. 

what was worse, Franklin's last play call or the ref stopping play to announce they spotted PSU short on the 3rd down (no review) and  letting OSU substitute when PSU was trying to hurry up?

That demeanor isn't unusual for him.  His post game presser is on now and he's the regular Urby.

The playcall easily.

And he burned timeouts too. They couldve ran it...failed miserably but had timeouts to try again if they would've stopped osu

I’ve been watching Ohio State football for a long time and I saw more screens by them in that game than I have in the last twenty years.

He’s a jagoff

Can’t do anything about the refs making a shit call. 

Franklin chose to take the ball away from what was working and try to get cute and run the guy averaging 2.5 ypc. Put the ball inti mcsorly’s hands and let him pop off a pass if the run isn’t there.

In spades

Franklin was atrocious, but PSU lost because of inexperience on defense imo. Taking crazy angles and blitzes not getting home. The screen to Dobbins from the 4 getting all the way out to the 42 was far worse than any play calling gaffe.

Playcalling

Just want to say how great the play call was OSU inside their own 5 with the running back screen. Really wish we would add that to our playbook especially in that situation.

I’ve been watching UT football intensely since 1977. I don’t think I ever recall seeing us run a real screen pass worth a shit.

It also didn't help that PSU's OL was allowing penetration on almost every play.

We ran a beautiful middle WR screen against aggy in the Bonfire game. Of course, Jamel Thompson was slow as shit, tackled from behind, and we didn't score a TD.

Only thing they could do to open it up, the way the defense was playing them.  Defense didn't adjust, so you gotta stick with what works.

Terrible loss by Penn St. Ohio St had absolutely nothing until Penn St fumbled that ball deep in their own territory with 2min left in the 1st half. Ohio St scores there and then to open the half. Penn St had no business losing this game. And what a shit ass playcall from Franklin at the end.

That’s what makes those fucks losing so enjoyable 

That playcall was something else. Who do you trust against a stacked box, your QB with 400+ yards of offense on the night or your 3 ypc-RB who's been getting stuffed all night? Yikes.

The box score said that they ran 12. That's unpossible and bottles the mind. 

I want Trace McSorley on my team.

Jagoff got angry with a fan who said it was a bad call

Fan was wrong. Fan didn't know wtf he saw. It was a bread and butter RPO.... the OL blocked it shitastically and tOSU had the right call and perfect execution. Every aspect of the call was covered. McSorely actually looked at the safety during the ride, and the safety was going to be at the bubble about a split second after the ball. The QB keep was covered on both ends. The give was the correct read, but 2 OL touched nobody. Rewatch the play.

I'm sure Franklin was pissed that he lost, and he should have just walked in, but the student coach didn't know shit.

The O-line got worked in the 2nd half so Franklin had confidence that they’d successfully execute this play?

Hell, I don't care whether or not it was a bad call. I care that the State Pen Nambly Lions lost. That's it.

 

I was highlighting the asshole that James Franklin always has been. And he is.

Bad call, but then again, what would the game be if PSU never fumbles when tOSU looked ready to give up..?

JF spent too much time cheerleading with his back to the field.  Urbs had a nice surrender cobra / anxiety vogue pose in the second quarter.  "Watching [B1G] football is like watching two mules fighting over a turnip." - Lewis Grizzard

Can you imagine just how stepped on that coke is once it reaches bumfuck Pennsyltucky? They were probably snorting 90% Ajax.

I like the #proudparents part. Does that mean it was sent to a proudparents site or something?

Shoulda handed some of that out to the pederdast D in the 4th Q.

That’s kind of like what I remember that night we kicked the shit out of ohio in the shoe.

RPO with the pass option being a bubble screen 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage on 4th and 5? Sorry, the playcall was fucking horrible. I know it's your thing to blame players and never blame coaches because, hey, if the players are perfect then the calls would work! But guess what, players aren't perfect. And horrible calls are still horrible calls.

And I don't believe it was an actual RPO anyway. That bubble screen receiver is trying to pull the safety away from the play. He doesn't actually have any belief he might get the ball. And he's the only receiver who ever looks at the QB so if it was actually an RPO then he's the only possible target.

 
So how long does one expect to sit in traffic when leaving beaver stadium? Id imagine itd take 3-4hours to clear?
