This was literally the dumbest defensive call I think I’ve ever seen…don’t even know where to start. The lb’s running 15 yards deep and forgetting the tight end or the deep nickel blitz or the fact that this wouldn’t have even covered the receivers going deep on the right as one of them was wide open the entire time too, it was all so dumb.

I mean... did he? Penn State was still dealing with the fall out from the Sandusky issues. He walked into sanctions. He started in 2014 and wasnt permitted to have a full roster of 85 until 2016.

Beyond that, Franklin had to restore the reputation of Penn State with parents from those issues. He had that 2 year buffer from Bill O'brian. But he didn't do much while there.

If anything, there feels to be a ton of similarities from my perspective.

I forget his name, but the guy that actually took over after the Sandusky stuff did a really good job there for his short stance. Plus when Franklin joined the Big 10 it was basically a one team league (Ohio State) it’s only recently gotten tougher the last few years.


I realize you named the guy in your post too, sorry over skimmed it haha

Major staff upgrades that elevate the program (think Saban hiring Lane Kiffin) instead of mid internal promotions like Halze. Not even mentioning the defensive staff decencies. Otherwise we will stick with a 10-2 and a playoff loss max ceiling under Heupel and co. Still a major improvement from the dark ages of the 2010’s. But tonight’s disaster class was a flashback straight from that era 🤮

Dabo was an 8 win coach til he hired Venebles. Term Clemsoning was huge. If we don’t upgrade staff and stop playing buddy system then we will stay where we are and never win a title.

After the adrenaline and icy hot wears off I really hope Aguilar is okay. He was on target then wildly off after that hit.

Not quite sure why that and the deliberate elbow to his neck weren’t reciprocated. Why not? Refs gonna allow it for Bama then call it on us, but bruh should pay the price. Maybe a 2 for 1 special. Don’t say because we didn’t have pressure. Anytime before or after a throw or handoff would be fine.

Im sorry to bust your bubble, but this play is called every week on 3rd down. Im glad espn showed & highlighted the video game view so we can finally see the bs banks calls every week. Its more difficult to see in the traditional view. Bravo espn, bringing this ish to light.

Hahaha I'm genuinely not trying to be mean. But I brought up Bill O'Brian in the message you responded to.

In the simplest terms, to me, we feel like we are in a Penn State arc of being really damn good some seasons. But very few look at us as a threat to win it all most of the time. I'm not saying we can't get there. I'm saying if Heupel doesnt get his sack back and goes to the aggressive assassin he was when he got here, we will never get there.

Oh, and our defense blows... They are soooo passive it makes my anxiety have anxiety.

No one believes we can win anything of value and honestly we are just proving it to be true. We can have an upset here and there, but we haven’t come close to winning anything of substance. We are very undisciplined and have been for five years. We don’t upgrade our staff and actually have gotten worse.

I think we are in a Penn state arc in some ways and where did Banks come from. Also that does not mean fire the head coach but Penn State is probably a decent correlation for our program.

This baffles me. Live ball, no whistle. Go get it.

At least have one or two guys go head to head with their QB and one or two try to break his neck afterward with an elbow. Give them a taste of Alabama dirty football. After all, Birmingham refs were encouraging and rewarding it with their no calls.

Good ole Joseph gets the fumble.

We swatted at it like a nuisance or fly rather everybody jumping on it. Thank goodness Joseph jumped on it and Ty gave up on it. It seems more of a mentality thing to me. Yes, our defense is not good right now and that play showed me a microcosm.

How is this your response to the bAll being on the ground with no whistle.

How many bonehead plays are the linebackers allowed to make …

Perlotte seeing the field now on 3rd down because the other backers aren’t athletic enough to drop by in coverage and be trusted and then close on a scrambling qb.

He’s young, immature, frustrated, and still undisciplined. A loose ball is your ball, no matter what you or anyone else thinks happened. Maybe he thought it was called dead. Either way, get on that football or pick it up and run without it until they repeatedly blow the whistle and call you back.

Bro.

What? We didn’t capitalize on the one turnover we got, which we’re dependent on because of how we’re calling defensive game plans, same shite as passed 3 games and it’s excruciating to see us take those for granted and not capitalize at pivotal points in the game while giving up gobs of yards.
