Dear Leader said...: OK PPL

Tar Heel Tiger said...: btw, espn was wrong

Franklin Field's longevity is a testament to the exceptional home-field advantage it has provided Penn over the last century. At the 52,000-seat stadium - whose capacity once reached 78,000 - the Quakers are 534-234-31 all-time.; 8:24 PM
AllenD said...: see what you get on the kickoff and decide whether to try for some end of half points?; 8:24 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Missed opportunities.

First the bad pitch, then Byrum's first miss, then letting the TE get loose on 3rd down.

We have let them hang around despite dominating them for the first 28 minutes. Hope it doesn't end up costing us.; 8:25 PM
Kathy said...: Take it to the locker room. At least we know the coaches will make adjustments now.; 8:26 PM
Unknown said...: ok tigers, get to the locker room, het your butt chewing, and play like men in the 2nd half...; 8:26 PM

LT; 8:28 PM
jollekd said...: The missed XP is big.; 8:28 PM
Dear Leader said...: Cgm gets better as the game goes on...

PLUS the D is dragging...if we can sustain a few drives in Q3 they will be dead in the 4th... Berry cannot win this alone.; 8:28 PM
jollekd said...: We have been a second half team all season. Let's hope it stays that way. Imposter: UT momentum!; 8:29 PM
missinit said...: We neeed to keep their tongues dragging!

They were getting tired...we got to pound it.; 8:29 PM
Aeronaut said...: A few bad handoffs and toss sweeps, and a couple of missed assignments.

Decent job so far. A little sloppy but the WRs have stepped up big time. The offense will be receiving, so that's good.; 8:30 PM
Anonymous said...: You're right DL...if we can get their D on their heels early,,we can control; 8:30 PM
wes said...: summary of the half:

-we looked good, offense and defense
-chop block and fumbled option pitch were HUGE; 8:32 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: We get the ball to open the 2nd half Hoopie - set the tone then - and their tounges a waggin'; 8:32 PM
Miller said...: We need to open the 2nd half with a sustained drive and a TD.

and... a couple more instances of Tate flattening Berry.; 8:32 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Anybody else hope we go back uptempo in the 2nd half?

Can you say 'boatrace'?; 8:34 PM
No One said...: Will there be a campfire tonight???; 8:34 PM
Unknown said...: UT 30 plays, Auburn 49. I would say we are dominating.; 8:34 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Great minds think alike D.Miller; 8:34 PM
Unknown said...: I am liking what they are doing with tempo. They are keeping our defense rested.; 8:35 PM
Miller said...: Boatrace time to open the 2nd half... Get ready for the SS Tate battleship!; 8:35 PM
Frame said...: If you give Crompton only 60 plays to work with in a game, he'll only make 4 good plays in the entire game.; 8:37 PM
