We gotta fix our defense.

Penn State D is just dominating SMU offense. This is something we can't do. I'm starting to get a little jel of them.

lol this is Franklin biggest win to date, right?

If we had an elite defense this season (recruiting cost us thats Marios fault) we would 100% make the final 4 this season. We wasted it

There's no doubt we would have gone 12-0 with just an average defense.

the DL to me was the most disappointing thing, I expected an *** secondary but for the DL I thought they play mediocre asf. No speed rushers on the DL at all just strong players pause. Hope the young players can add a mix to that this season coming up like Lightfoot or Book

Reduce the CFP to 8 teams please, fake loser teams like Indiana and SMU don’t have any business trotting out there

You can't just look at the score of this game. Penn State hasn't outplayed SMU. SMU gave the game away with turnovers. Nothing to do with being overmatched.

Penn State is nothing special. They will struggle with teams they can't overpower. They're doing just enough to wear down SMU. However, 21 of Penn State's points came off of turnovers. If SMU scores a TD on their 1st drive and doesn't turn the ball over, It's a 10-10 game.

This isn't one of Clemson high talented squads but they have way more than SMU......surprised SMU came back. Clemson will get exposed as well in the playoffs.

Clemson not good. I watched a back up Pitt QB almost beat them and that back up was trash in that game. Also Clemson vs FSU and Clemson vs Va Tech with their back ups weren't good games by Clemson. Yet they dominated SMU right off the gate. I'm not surprised SMU came back, Dabo gets very conservative when he has the lead and that gives teams a chance to stay in the game. He did this against FSU and somebody else but I forget who. Of course can't forget Louisville smoked them at their place.

Edit vs Virginia. Dabo let them get back in the game

11 is like the 1 here in Miami. It’s an earned number at Pedo and if you get it, it means you are a stud player ala Lavar Arrington, Micah Parsons, etc

Whoever identifies edge rushers for psu is a mad genius. They always run 4.4 no matter the HT/WT.

The more the year unfolded my take changed on the DL. We were giving so much cushion the DL had no chance to get home. Teams used motion so much that exposed the secondary and the first read was always open . IMO Guidry got exposed in his one year of P4 coordinating. Be patient and use motion and it would tell you the entire story. I’d love to talk to an OC that faced us and ask them what percentage of first read was the throw ? I bet the number would be high.

Top 4 seeds should have home field advantage n second round. Playing it in a neutral site isn’t optimal.

Should be like the NFL playoffs. Only championship game is neutral

It seems like PSU sacrifices size on the edge for speed while we have fat dudes being DE's for us. PAUSE

We have the dudes at DE, The coaches just chose to play older players with experience. Bain needs to move inside. That's where he'll play in the NFL.

I would have preferred to play our younger, more athletic DEs. Hopefully, we see them get a lot of reps in the bowl game.
