Could have kicked the extra point both times and it would be 24-17.Going for two made sense.. it would have made it a 3 point game. Difference between 4 and 5 points isn't all that huge.

I think it was too early to be worrying about that.Going for two made sense.. it would have made it a 3 point game. Difference between 4 and 5 points isn't all that huge.
Well played.Patriots should absolutely target Allar. He would fit in perfectly.
No, just take points early.Going for two made sense.. it would have made it a 3 point game. Difference between 4 and 5 points isn't all that huge.
Hard to believe he’s been there that long. Not saying hard to believe he hasn’t been fired. Just that time flies.4-16 now for Franklin against Michigan and OSU.
I don't think this is all that true... I mean they've had great defenses, but they also had some pretty decent offenses in the 80s and 90s.. and weren't awful in some of the last few years. You could argue that their passing offense has been ok.. but they've always been able to run.Penn State has played this way forever. Great defense not much offense.
They didn’t play like this under O’Brien, did they?I don't think this is all that true...

You could argue that their passing offense has been ok.. but they've always been able to run.
In the 90s the offense had Kerry Collins, Kyle Brady, Kijana Carter, OJ McDuffie, etc. They've always had very good running backs.. their QBs have been hit or miss and they've had some decent receivers, but not as good as OSU.. but plenty of NFL talent has gone through the offensive side of the ball over the years.
My argument is I feel like they shouldn't have settled for the FG on 4th and 4.. Probably not the best coaching move, but their defense was playing great and if they didn't get it they would have pinned Michigan in the end zone.. kicking the FG just put 3 points on the board which just felt like it gave all the momentum to Michigan... then they just started putting in bigger offensive linemen in the next series and just ran it pretty much the rest of the game.That early, it doesn't make sense.
edit - especially because this offense fucking sucks
Have fun losing to OSU.I'm happy. Nice for our boys to walk into Happy Valley without HC and show up like that. Haters gonna hate. As Emperor Palpatine put it, it is all proceeding as I have foreseen it.
How I will go run errands in my Michigan hat, Astros t-shirt and Pats sweats.
Really? I think it’s going to go similarly to today. And we will still have no idea how good they are until they play GeorgiaHave fun losing to OSU.
Do the Pats have a good enough running game for him to hand off all day?Love JJ McCarthy. Hope Pats draft him if they can’t get Caleb or Drake.
I'm happy to be wrong.. I'm less than enamored with James Franklin at this point.. no idea why PSU felt the need to extend him. If you're goal is to never beat a decent team.. he's your man.No, just take points early.
I suspect that they are still not good enough to beat Georgia. I just care what happens in 2 weeks (without overlooking next week).Really? I think it’s going to go similarly to today. And we will still have no idea how good they are until they play Georgia
If the Big Ten wanted to really punish Michigan there’d have suspended FranklinJames Franklin has coached like an idiot today. Don’t watch them enough to know if that’s every week. Chasing 2 points early, and that god awful decision to go for it are embarrassingly bad.
I don't know. Michigan -- with Harbaugh sitting in a hotel -- played a better game against PSU in Happy Valley than OSU played them in the Horseshoe. As for handing off the whole second half -- low risk, high reward and if your opponent can't stop the run, win by winning.Have fun losing to OSU.
edit: just bitter.. but the defense looked like they'd get smoked by a half decent qb, but I guess we'll see... Also as a PSU fan..walking into Happy Valley and winning isn't all that much of an accomplishment as of late.
In the 2nd? Sure take a chance. Maybe I just don’t watch enough college football. But I haven’t seen anything other than game manager or beating up on horrible programs. I get the game plan but as a Pats/NFL fan just show me something to give me enough confidence that he’s not Big 10 Zach Wilson, please.Love JJ McCarthy. Hope Pats draft him if they can’t get Caleb or Drake.
Somehow I feel like all those things cancel each other out.How I will go run errands in my Michigan hat, Astros t-shirt and Pats sweats.
IMO OSU's passing will do better against UM than they did against PSU.. but we haven't really seen Michigan play anyone yet so who knows.I don't know.

Didn't look like any way Odunze was going to get open. Perfect pass, 34 yd TD.Nice throw by Penix for the TD.
And Harvard wins on a double reverse throwback to the QB. Ivy champs!Crazy game at Harvard Stadium..
Leading Penn 20-10 at the half, Harvard allowed the Quakers to push the game to OT at 20-20.
Held Penn to a FG on first possession in OT. Harvard drove to get a first and goal at the two… before getting stuffed three times. They really should gone for it on 4th, but settled for game tying FG.
Harvard botched its second drive and Penn settled for game-winning 35 FG attempt… but missed it.
Moving to 3rd OT…
If the Big Ten wanted to really punish Michigan there’d have suspended Franklin
LOL these are both great.Great sign from GameDay this morning. Kiffin’s girlfriend sits in the student section
Their D is their Achilles heelWashington looks to be a pretender when it comes to defense.
How is Miami relevant?Potential for CFP chaos if Miami and Washington both lose
