Rebirth of Penn State program took place one magical nightBy Cory [email protected] State has such wonderful football tradition, but it’s really kind of divided into two distinct segments. If you’re an old guy, like Neil (hahaha), you have a whole bunch of moments and games and achievements that you could pick as your favorite Nittany Lion memory. A huge portion of the fan base falls into that category.

Why weren’t Fleming, Carter more effective against WVU?

PSU point/counterpoint: Did anything happen in the opener that surprised you? Why weren’t Fleming, Carter more effective against WVU? By Cory [email protected] State played an excellent game in its opening win at West Virginia, but there were two glaring surprises involving two of the biggest names on the team. Transfer wide receiver Julian Fleming played much of the contest, and not only had zero catches, he wasn’t even targeted once.

Transfer wide receiver Julian Fleming played much of the contest, and not only had zero catches, he wasn’t even targeted once. On the other side of the ball, Abdul Carter had a mere one tackle, three penalties and was pretty much a non factor in his first start at defensive end.
For James Franklin, it’s win a postseason game or bust

Aug 28, 2024 | altoonamirror.com | Cory Giger

By Cory GigerFor the MirrorIt’s time for “Little Game James” to grow up and take the next step in his coaching development. We need to see “Big Game James.” And we need to see it in the College Football Playoff. James Franklin, who has spent his Penn State tenure beating the teams he’s supposed to beat while losing most of the biggest games, needs at least one playoff win this year for the season to be considered a success. Simply making the playoff won’t be enough. Why?

The Pirates have to have some of the dumbest people in professional sports working for them. It’s one idiotic PR blunder after another. AGAIN I ask: Why on earth would anybody still be a Pirates fan at this point? Get a divorce. Move on with your life!!!! https://t.co/XVKg8m22aP

You know what’s really disgusting? Many cult members still loved Jim Jones even as they drank the Kool-Aid that killed them. History repeats itself.

All this stuff below matters. But none of this has ever been PSU’s biggest weakness. Weakness has always been Franklin’s gameday coaching. Predictable, conservative, bad decisions in clutch, adjustments take too long. If all else is fixed, Franklin himself now has to step up.

Andy Staples @Andy_Staples

For much of James Franklin’s tenure, Penn State didn’t act like a school that cared about football as much as, say, Ohio State. Franklin believes Penn State has that kind of alignment now. Will it make the difference? https://t.co/XXoSBjgguA https://t.co/f4ouq0YyUp
