PSU QB Drew Allar suffered a season-ending leg injury, Penn State’s year just keeps getting worse. ESPN says PSU is the first team to lose back to back games as 20 point favorites in 30 years.
They will emphasize the injury even though the injury was with 3 minutes left in the game with PSU behind not early in the game. The Franklin trolling is amusing.
It was definitely a good win and not one I though possible at the beginning of the season. I thought Oregon, @ PSU, and Wrigley Michigan were the minimum guaranteed losses before the season began.
Hopefully I can close out the lakefront stadium next week seeing a win. They still haven’t published new stadium prices so this could be our last season ticket year after 30 seasons.
Penn State has fired Coach James Franklin. The Nebraska media are saying former Penn State player and assistant coach Matt Rhule, now at Nebraska, may be their top choice to replace Franklin.
Correction, Rhule has not coached at Penn State, but he did coach at Temple when Penn State’s AD was at Temple, and ESPN puts Rhule at the top of the list of candidates.
Is my memory failing me or is this not the first time in recent years that a coach has been fired in the aftermath of a loss to Northwestern?
Reminds of our dark old when Northwestern could never beat a top 20 team because, by definition, if Northwestern beat someone in the top 20, they weren’t worthy of being in the top 20 and were dropped out of the rankings thereafter.
