Looks like the team opens by hosting Idaho (are they the Vandals? (a more conscientious person would check)) (Has PSU ever played them?) (Does anyone care?) on 31 August.
Let's hope the 2019 edition features better clock management.

OhGollyGosh! I actually guessed that they might be the Vandals (it coulda been Idaho State, I wasn't sure). What's next? Ostrogoths?

Well, it's 20-0 near the end of the first quarter. PSU seems to have matters well in hand.

At the half, it's 44-0.
Great opportunity for Coach Franklin to show us who he is during the second half.

79-7, I quit watching when PSU scored its 58th point. Just remember, Maryland scored 79 on Howard, but shut them out.
Hope lots of happy fans join the fun at Rec Hall.

Buffalo @ PSU: 3rd QTR, PSU just pulled ahead with a Pic-6, 14-10. Otherwise, Buffalo is beating PSU. Will be interesting to see if PSU can win.
Big improvements! PSU up 35-13 with less than 2 minutes left in 3rd QTR.

That first half was all Buffalo.
Gotta respect all your opponents.

PSU depth really showing now.
2nd half all PSU. Final 45-13 Penn State wins.
We were favored by 32, IIRC.

That first half was all Buffalo. Gotta respect all your opponents. Many worrying aspects to this game. 1. Buffalo out gained us significantly. 2. The run defense was entirely inadequate. The boys got pushed around quite a lot in the first half. This will be a huge problem as we play better talented teams. 3. The run blocking has not improved much over last season. Buffalo has historically been poor on defense, but in the first half our O line made a hash of things. I think the longest run by a RB was 9 yards? An insufficient running game will be a giant problem when we play teams with DB's who can keep up with our receivers. Moreover if our leading rusher is the QB, I worry that Clifford will miss some snaps or even games due to injury. On the plus side, the team executed better in the second half (though not with the running game). Hopefully, we will see in season improvements to match the increasingly difficult opposition. |

Late in 2nd quarter, PSU down 10-7, returner ignores fair catch and brings it out to the 12(?). They moved it past midfield on a pass play.
Forty seven seconds left. We know Coach Franklin's strength is clock management.
3rd & 8, 0:26 left.... QB gets sacked out of field goal range.
0:07 left, 4 & 16 .........
57-yard attempt
Drillls it! for a school record!!!
Game tied at 10 as first half ends.
Here's hoping for a better second half.

PSU succeeded in pulling ahead 17-10 in 3rd quarter.
Pitt has threatened, very seriously midway through the 4th quarter. Their field goal attempt doinked of the left upright and PSU held its 7-point lead with 4:40 left.
Will PSU try to score, or run out the clock? hmmmmm...

Coach Franklin opts for running out the clock. 2:06 left and PSU has to punt.
This seems familiar(?).

1:56 left and Pitt has 84 yards to go. Care to guess what happens?
