(OT) Penn State Football - James Franklin no longer

[LoneStarPhan]

South Carolina had >98% win probability at halftime, leading 30-3.

Final score, 31-30, Texas A&M.

I'm surprised it was the biggest comeback of the year and biggest comeback in A&M history. Still doesn't seem like that many points in the more offense-heavy era.

PSU taking one small step towards... a bowl game?

More than a bowl game...they look like they have a QB for next season.

Not to me--he was a handoff machine tonight, basically. I like him as a #2, but they need a better offensive weapon for #1.

[bigegypt0417]

He didn't need to throw that much...he is growing in to the job.

Part of his problem is he has an OC who is run first.

More than a bowl game...they look like they have a QB for next season.

Or Virginia Tech does.

Seriously though, he will have be re-recruited the minute the hire gets made (all the players can enter portal five days after) and seems like a greater than 50% chance a new coach will bring along or recruit a new QB anyway.

He certainly won't stay as the #2.

It will actually be difficult for them to have a roster for the bowl game, probably. Unless they don't make a hire until January. Then it would be a nice reward for the players and Smith.
