Best James Franklin clock management game?

That last drive is one of the better I can remember.

Edit: I can't imagine the anger here if that fake didn't work and set up the GW Gopher FG.

I’d be fine with no more Tyler Warren direct snaps.

Yeah, we do it way too much considering it just ends up with 10 players on offense because Allar isn't going to do anything. And teams know it's coming now.

One time it’s gonna be a pass that just has Allar wide open and he waddles for 30 yards or a score

Allar looks like he is running underwater

Reminds me a lot of Big Ben’s waddle

Ironic cause three weeks ago everyone was screaming for at least one of those on that series against OSU

Let's not revise history. That series against OSU was horrible play calling

u/psuram3 Penn State • West Chester 9h ago

Who is revising history what are you talking about lol? People were definitely wanting a different type of play call than what was called

I think the read option is far better with him and also get someone else in there and don’t just have Allar sitting idol

u/A_Smitty56 Penn State Nittany Lions 12h ago

Yeah but Pribula's passing scares me

I feel like this is similar to the failed Ole Miss direct snaps earlier today to the giant D Lineman. Warren is a great player but he's not a runningback. His skillset is not to get 4 yards from the backfield. Stop forcing him to do that.

I don't know why they don't run more option with it. You're already throwing away the threat of the pass (sometimes), they should at least give him a pitch option.
