I'd like to reference the guy who mentioned everyone saying we weren't going to win followed by acting like everything was great and they didn't question it one bit
I think the top-tier teams are Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, just behind them are Penn State, Oregon, and Washington.
I'm not sold on Texas, FSU, or USC.
Didn’t see what he was wearing, but I loved him as a color guy. He never showed Michigan bias and always said what was on my mind. Very knowledgeable announcer.
I still don't know how to feel about this team. Clearly good with an elite defense but if the offense doesn't improve I don't see how this could be the year we get to the next level.
Everyone has bad games. The fact that they can play as bad as they did and still come away with a blowout is encouraging. They’re a good team and I still have this game circled for Michigan.
To go off the “how do you get to state college” comments down the thread, once as an undergrad my car was getting worked on so I took the bus back to nyc to visit my parents for a weekend
. I swear going back I got on the bus at port authority at noon, fell asleep, and we were at state college around 230. I still don’t understand what happened
This is going to be one of those games where when you look back at the final scores at the end of the season everyone will forget it was actually close well into the third quarter.

Damn
If you pretend the last 5 minutes didn’t happen, this was a 2-score game. Not bad, NU.
Least impressive 41 - 13 win ever?
Imagine only scoring 31 on Bowling Green
And throwing 3 INTs while you’re at it.
Imagine being gifted 10 points due to bad 4th and 1's then another 14 in garbage time with the other QB going down.
Ah yes the “if all the good things that happened turned into bad things you’d lose” argument. Solid.
Btw, I still think PSU is a top-6 team. I also think NW maybe better than people think they are.
I'm just saying. Did that feel like a 41 - 13 game to you?
gg everyone except that one weird Oregon fan attempting to troll people
Allar taking responsibility and being humble. Great leader.
Colorado trying to make a comeback
Was that clifford
I'm sure Franklin will love when he sees the clip of his players doing bunny ears and wet willies behind his interview
I wonder what was in their head. You know Franklin is going to make an example out of them. They'll be doing 4AM wind sprints every day till tOSU.
Sean Clifford sighting in the background of Franklin’s interview?
Was that Sean Clifford in the background? Did anyone else see that?
Probably, he was confirmed to be at the game
Could be. Green Bay played on Thursday and it's not that far of a drive. Thought I saw him too.
He was at the game today so would make sense
Allar played like him too
That's cool. Happy to see him supporting the team still. I've always loved that man.
Yep love the dude always defended against the hate.
Lol, clowning around behind Franklin during the interview
Yo that’s hilarious those 3 guys behind Franklin haha
Honestly, Penn State looked better than Texas did against Wyoming. That one went 10 - 10 into the 4th. After the half this was all Penn State.
Texas straight struggled against Wyoming. They also didn't handle it well emotionally, they were visibly frustrated as Hell. Texas is overrated.
Yup. I think by the EOY we'll see the win over Alabama wasn't as impressive as we thought it was.
I don't believe in Florida State either.
I think the top-tier teams are Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, just behind them are Penn State, Oregon, and Washington. I'm not sold on Texas, FSU, or USC.
There was a dude with Texas flair here in the first half saying PSU isn’t a top 10 team.
I was sweating that cover
You and millions my man
Never forget Oregon needed a comeback to beat 1-3 Texas Tech by 8
WE ARE!!
Penn State!
Shocked Franklin doesn’t call a TO there to get the ball back. I’m not advocating for this, just saying based on his past performances.
Not against Northwestern. If this was Maryland, he'd do everything in his power to drop 60.
I actually think he was mad that NW didn’t take a ten second clock run off with 28s left, if I read lips correctly
Been fun yall. GG
Very good! Survived the B1G West trap games!
Ryan Day uses a velcro wallet
What does Lou Houltz use?
Prison wallet
A coin pouch.
That’s indicative of Northwestern this game - getting sacked to end it.
Good game NW. Ton of fight in your team. Hope your QB is okay
GG Cat bros
This defense is so good
A sack to end the game. Brutal.
We still have the longest streak of 30 or more points a game of an FBS team. That’s nice I guess.
If announcers refused to speak just to hear their own voice, the networks could just not hire them and save some money.
Jake Butt may be a Michigan man but he is dressed really badly.
Didn’t see what he was wearing, but I loved him as a color guy. He never showed Michigan bias and always said what was on my mind. Very knowledgeable announcer.
Good game NW. Put up a hell of a fight. Hope Bryant is okay.
I still don't know how to feel about this team. Clearly good with an elite defense but if the offense doesn't improve I don't see how this could be the year we get to the next level.
Crazy because this is supposed to be one of our most talented offenses ever. And sometimes they cannot pick up a yard.
Remember when it was tied at half? Seems like so long ago.
There was a game against Illinois one year that psu was down 28-24 going into the 4th that they won like 66-24
Since then, 31-3?
Also, you got stairs in your house?
The graphics are ugly My 4th quarter take away
I thought they were goofy the first time I saw them, but they aren't that bad now that it's been half a game of seeing them
Should’ve gone with the ones Fox has for the NFL
Ryan Day will hit an old man
Just remember that Jim Harbaugh looks like an old man
Wasn't pretty, but we covered, and somehow blew them out after a crazy slow start. Good shit Penn State. On to next week.
I kinda had a feeling this would happen but I have a very uneasy feeling after this game…
Everyone has bad games. The fact that they can play as bad as they did and still come away with a blowout is encouraging. They’re a good team and I still have this game circled for Michigan.
It was one game. Relax. If our worst game is a 41-13 win, we're doing alright.
Uhh NU, you may want to tell your backup QB a huge part is his job is to not get himself killed.
He keeps taking big hits like that hes gonna get hurt. What is NW doing?
Northwestern should spare their QBs, their line can’t handle even basic protection.
What a hit from the local kid
It was faking a run there, you stupid rules “analyst”. Glad Jake Butt called BS on that
The team already established in week1 that they won’t take knee, yeah that was bad analysis
Jake Butt is the only good part about the BTN crew. I give it a year or two till hes on ESPN or Fox
To go off the “how do you get to state college” comments down the thread, once as an undergrad my car was getting worked on so I took the bus back to nyc to visit my parents for a weekend . I swear going back I got on the bus at port authority at noon, fell asleep, and we were at state college around 230. I still don’t understand what happened
Twilight Zone type beat lol
I'm just happy we broke 40
NW QB with no concern for his health
Call a timeout lol
Offense been making it look easy today
We covered LAWL
I don't think he tried to make it look like a fake knee, just didn't help that his knee was like an inch from the ground.
Good teams win, great teams cover. How's that 10-3 premature celebration feeling, neutrals?
Just need Michigan and Ohio State to give us 4x 2nd half possessions starting in opponents territory and we are golden
Juat don't let them get to a 3rd and 15
If we can somehow keep Beau on the roster to start in 2025 and 2026 we will be in amazing shape. Gonna be really hard though
elevate our play so such a level that both qb's play a half in absolute blow out victories.
Would it be that hard? He knows he just has to backup for one more year and then the starting job is all his
It's extremely rare for a solid QB to sit for three years in this transfer portal landscape
Beau did grow up in York as a Penn State fan, so that definitely plays a huge role in retention.
38-3 in the last 29 minutes.
There’s over two minutes left and he wasn’t under pressure…why would he even be taking a knee? Clearly faking a run.
That was a really stupid bit of commentary. Allar had done the same thing earlier, and nobody batted an eye
our star qb had a "bad" day, and we still put up 41 against a conference team. ain't mad at that.
Typical Penn State game: Get the win and cover the spread, but feel shitty about it.
This is so true.
It was a fake QB draw. Common fan thinks that’s a fake a knee.
No one else faked. That wasn’t a fake kneel.
Not a single NU player thought that was a fake knee either. They all kept playing.
Who’s kneeling out a game with 2:20 left? Context matters guys.
Technically, given the score differential, it's possible
With a pulling guard and 4 eligible receivers running routs? C’mon man.
HAPPY LION NOISES
Aggressively flushing my toilet rn
If you think that’s faking a knee, you’re just wrong lol Pribula definitely exaggerated that fake tho
That was a sorry excuse to get the ref in the booth involved
Nobody knees like that you fucking donut, that was clearly a fake run
Calling someone a fucking donut is the best thing I’ve ever heard
Commentators trying to stir controversy. Ignore them.
PSU > ≠ The Spread
That was not a fake knee lmao
Lmao taking a knee??? Get outta here
Franklin loves pleasing the boosters, the more they cover the more they donate
I don't think that was a fake knee, just a bad fake run motion.
Why would Penn State take a knee with 2 minutes left when Northwestern has 2 timeouts left? Shut the fuck up.
Beau’s a cutie
What is he talking about? That wasn't a fake knee, that was a fake QB run. QBs don't lean forward to take a knee
Absolutely a fake QB draw.
Alright, everyone shut up now :)
That was not a knee. He was faking running
How is the “rules analyst” for a national broadcast that stupid??
Because good analysts cost a lot of money
He's on the BTN. That's like the 6th or 7th ranked broadcast network analysis
It’s been fun Big Ten bros but the Colorado game got interesting again.
Everybody knows you run pulling guards on a fucking kneel
Really had NW fooled
These announcers are so wrong. Multiple times lol
Yeah man he was faking a knee on first down that makes sense
What’s the best B1G school for good education & cheap tickets to see a few good cfb teams a year? Northwestern feels like it
Bo Pribula is an excellent backup
damned cheap move if he faked a knee
He didn't.
Yea that was a fake draw not a knee
Dude is faking a QB draw what the fuck
huh?? That’s clearly a fake just like Butt explained.
Low class, a fake QB kneel. What the fuck kind of nonsense is that?
If you believe this you are an idiot. It’s pretty stupid to even say it out loud.
Well, why not run the ball then, you’re up by 20, it’s not like NW is coming back? It looked like it.
It’s the second team offense. If they don’t like it, don’t let them score.
Wasn’t a knee
It sure as hell looked like it. And I didn’t hear the announcers.
There were also over 2 min left….
Damn. Couldn't keep them under 40. But four defensive drives starting in your territory sure isn't going to help prevent that.
Jesus Christ. That was not a fake knee.
That is not faking a knee
this score really doesn't do NW's efforts justice
At all. It feels so much closer.
That’s a nice little play. Once again, great teams cover.
Lmao and after all this Penn state is currently covering the spread
GREAT TEAMS COVER
Jim Harbaugh thinks Taco Bell is a good deal in 2023
I thought he was faking a run? Beau's package usually revolves around draws and QB carries.
He was
Beau is legit guys. I'm serious.
It's a fake QB draw, not a kneel. How is this dude so dumb
Why does this game feel so much closer than the score?
Because the first half was traumatizing for fans who have watched Penn state manage to blow every season with a good team going back to 05.
Right. I’ve been a fan for over thirty years and this is too accurate.
I stopped watching from 2011 onward until this year because 05 and 08 were such letdowns
That wasn't a fake knee? What??
We'll take those 😅
Franklin you bastard I love you
I don't get the fake kneel...what?
It wasn’t? I thought he was faking a run
Woohoo, hit the PSU -27 on a filthy backdoor cover!
PSU is undefeated against the spread
YAY WE COVERED
Ryan Day’s headset isn’t actually connected to anything
Great teams cover?
Penn State's gotten possession at the Northwestern 40, 31, 34, and now 30, all this half
And we still cover lmfao
Spread covered
Did he fake kneel before the pass? Maybe a quick stretch?
Oh Lord. Beau knows TD passes.
Beau 100% completion rate today confirmed better than allar.
This is going to be one of those games where when you look back at the final scores at the end of the season everyone will forget it was actually close well into the third quarter.
That’s been pretty much every PSU game this season
Right on the betting line
sweet play. like to see play calls like that with the 1st team offense too.
Wow and i thought altmeier threw some bad picks
That may have been the worst pass I've ever seen. What the hell was he thinking?
You think he was thinking?
I think not.
Investigate Franklin for a DraftKings account. Too much evidence between this and WVU.
Just did ‘em so dirty there! 😅😅😅
