Penn State and Ohio State met for a classic Big Ten Showdown in the “Shoe.”

Penn State ended up dropping its seventh straight game to Ohio State.

PSU coach James Franklin is now 1-9 against OSU with the only win coming in 2016.

He’s also 0-5 in Columbus.

Penn State Twitter isn’t too happy.

James Franklin is now:

❌ 2-12 on the road vs Top 25 Teams
❌ 0-10 on the road vs Top 10 Teams
❌ 1-9 vs Ohio State
❌ 1-12 vs Top 5 Teams

Will Penn State give him another 10-year extension for this? pic.twitter.com/IfVyUPlH65

The final score didn’t sum up how badly Penn State played offensively today.

• 1-16 on 3rd down (The 1 was in garbage time)
• 6 Offensive Yards in 2nd half, with 2:36 to go
• 6 Points before garbage time

Zero halftime adjustments for the Nittany Lions today. pic.twitter.com/7KWpaeRSXe

Watching Penn State football is like getting hit over the head with a hammer while someone tells you it'll all be alright.

I’m just so tired.

Shame on me for believing. I’ll never make that mistake again.

What do non-sports addicted people do on their Saturday afternoons. Maybe I’ll go do that today.

By the way, I know what some of you will say. “We can do so much worse than 10-2!” That is true, but we can also do better and that way of thinking lets James Franklin off the hook. Bottom line is losing 7 straight to Ohio State is not acceptable. Franklin talks all the time…

If you aren’t afraid of hearing the real, tune into @NittanyPod next week. Myself, @PSU_TK and @BlueWhiteSports are going to be NUCLEAR.

This was one of the worst performances ever by a Penn State QB.
The WRs aren't very good. Can't get separation. But Allar has been off all day.
Not all his fault. Pressured all day.
But man, 10 for 30.
Wow.
From a guy everybody thinks is a future top 5 pick.
Hard to believe.

Beat Michigan now

I hope to God that Manny Diaz leaves Penn State after this season and goes to be a head coach somewhere else

The team doesn’t deserve his defense

The offense has been gifted every opportunity today and couldn’t move the ball more than 10 yards

Fuck you Penn State.#WeAre

Penn State-Ohio State has turned into an Iowa game.

You could fit Penn State’s offensive playbook on a bottle cap.

Penn State is ass

— Don Keedic (@ChadKruz) October 21, 2023

James Franklin doesn’t beat Ohio State and he doesn’t beat Michigan. At some point, Penn State has to decide if they’re okay with that.
