Good times. Good times.
I WAS NEVER ONE OF THOSE! I preferred KC's strategy- only on years that we had a 12th game, and a FBS team that we actually had a realistic opportunity to compete........Wrhanby

Nor was I. Thought KC was being practical.

But, some folks just had to criticize everything.

I disagree.

If Carty can’t build us up into a really good program by 2027, then we have the wrong leader.

UNH WR drops a TD that would make it 28-all. Miss the FG. Had CMU at 3rd and 15 and gives up the first. 3 plays later…35-21.

Sometimes it is the little things.

A lot of that was related to PSU talent level, but a whole lot was related to the Hens lack of talent especially on the lines. Carty and the Hens have a ways to go.

First play from scrimmage is all you needed to know how the day was going to turn out. O’Connor drops back and has happy feet when there wasn’t even a Penn State player within 4 yds of him. Deer in headlights!!!

Same season script as last year? UD will feast on the crap teams on their schedule but may struggle with the (few) decent teams they play?

The playoff azz ripping loss to an FCS peer last season was more humiliating and embarrassing than this loss, IMO.

One of the posters asked why didn't we try one of the other QB's since the Number 1 and the backup were totally ineffective. A couple of years back during the Brock era? we were getting waxed at home by Nova (familar?) and they pulled the starter and put reserve Henderson in. He sparked the team to a TD and was on the way to another when he got injured. Minicucci comes from a big time H.S. program so maybe he should have got a call.
