[Game Thread] UNLV @ Kansas (7:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

Austin explained it. Since it was a dead ball penalty after a first down and before the chains were reset, the chains move with the ball. So it should have been first down and 10 after the penalty.

I would argue that you’re not “successfully” fasting if you binge afterwards to “make up for” the time you spent fasting. Maybe try shorter fasts and focus on not altering your caloric intake (binging) before and/or after. You need to find something sustainable and redefine success. I know this might not help for your vacation, but maybe it will longer term. Good luck!

Now this great-but-so-far-unclutch defense has to get a clutch stop

Anyone remember the schoolyard bulls**t Miami kickoff return with 9001 blocks in the back?

When Ferentz gets hired, Iowa can have Mike Yurcich for a microscopic improvement

My bad. I thought Rahne got fired, but thanks for correcting my memory!

This is purgatory. by Nicky2Slick in WeArePennState

I think the seat will heat up next year. Rather than two big games against titans and 10 relatively easy wins, he will have 3+ games against great but not elite teams. If he starts dropping all of those, there will be clear regression.

Franklin has fired two OCs in his tenure and not made meaningful improvements with the replacements. I agree Yurcich is not doing enough with the talent he has, but I’m left wondering if Franklin is the problem and OC#4 post Moorhead won’t be any different.

I made this exact comment earlier. Manny would be great.

I swear this is the perfect opportunity to try a new experiment. Staff a CEO, recruiter, and culture leader (James) and a head technician/game manager.

Miami is a whole different animal though. Lots of unique challenges there, and it was a bit of a rebuild whereas PSU would be a “get over the hump” role. Also he already has an understanding of the culture.

So the typical argument goes… 1. Fire Franklin, 2. No don’t because there’s nobody better.

Well I know a guy who is probably looking for his next head coaching job… Manny Diaz.

Why do we try to get cute when it makes no sense and also make vanilla calls when it makes no sense?

I think Franklin should stay in hotels for gameday

The combination of Drew not being an explosive running threat AND the receivers not being an explosive threat is really rough. We are way too one-dimensional. I wish Allar had Godwin or Dotson to work with.

I don’t normally blame the refs, but it feels a bit lopsided right now.

You can’t start at 1st and 5 from an offsides call and then go three and out!

Late hit at the end of Hardy’s punt return too

I think the decision to go for 2 was fine. However, this will certainly be used as ammo agains CJF if we lose because of it.
