Is James Franklin unfamiliar with football?

First he goes for 2 in THE FIRST HALF.

Then after scoring to pull within 9, he again goes for two. Standard strategy is to get to 8 and keep the pressure on your opponent. Because if you don’t get the 2 at 9, game over.

Much like the coaches who have terrible time management, amazes me how unaware coaches are on numbers and basic strategy.

It’s one thing if you’re USC offense or you’re playing USC defense, but for Penn St?

It's been an epidemic this year. Going for 2 in weird situations when it makes no sense. Seen it quite a bit, from various different coaches.

Another Saturday, another shootout for Washington because their defense is absolutely terrible. Even Utah, who runs the ball all day long normally, is carving up their secondary.

The U got screwed put of a safety against FSU.

As clear of a safety as you can get and the call if tackled at the 1" line withstood video review.

The thing that always blows me away about these non safety calls, other than how completely blown of a call that it was, is where they decide to spot the ball. They put it on the one yard line, and I simply can't understand how they decide that. Miami Should actually be winning this game, but they have a lot of game like that, and FSU has found a way to pull games out, so we shall see what happens.

Crazy, Washington had a pick six but the guy dropped the ball a full stride before crossing the goal line. Utah recovered. But next play was a safety. D has tightened up. 28-24 Utah at the half, now 35-28 Washington nearing end of Q3. I don't know what's up w/ Penix, he hasn't been the same for about a month now. Still putting up some numbers, but the pinpoint accuracy just isn't there.

Player on the U should have been ejected for targeting.

Lowers his helmet and hits Travis right on the face mask. Clear as day call.

Replay officials won't even respond to ABC's requests for explanations.

Clown show.

I can't believe it, but the maligned Washington defense is on the verge of pitching a shut out int he 2nd half. Dawgs on a long clock killing drive trying to ice it.

Penix takes a brutal sack on 3rd down in the red zone. Had all day to get rid of it too. Then the clinching FG got blocked. Utah still has a prayer 35-28 w/ 1:38 left.

I think UW will probably make it to the Pac 12 Championship Game and get killed by Oregon in a rematch. But if they somehow make it to the playoff, I think they will get exposed badly.

Utah runs 3 plays that go nowhere, then a desperation heave got picked off. Idiotic Washington w/ another penalty, unsportsmanlike after the play. Doesn't matter now, but this team gets so many flags against them.

Damien Martinez is running wild for Oregon St. 136 yards and 4 TDs at the half against Stanford. W/ OSU's situation going forward still totally unclear, get ready for an all out bidding war by everybody trying to poach him for next season.

Looks like Chad's kid has taken the starting qb slot at Marshall. 10 pts in Q1 is more than Marshall's had in a half in a month.

Too bad he's not throwing to Randy Moss's kid.

I can't put my finger on exactly what the problem is, but I think this is the least interesting college football season in years.

Bidding war for Smith?
