Penn State if you include sacks and hits on the QB 36 pressures.


Dang we only threw the ball like 40 times right?

Robby looked completely gassed by the end of the game and that was just after a full half of playing. Can he survive a full game behind this OL?

If he’s got potential, I hope he doesn’t play at all this year. Why put him into this crap show.

TJ for all his faults played through the bad plays and pressure and hustled his arse off

It appears that a lot of fans want to put that loss at the feet of Finley. Glad to see your post. Finley busted his arse in that game, a played with an obvious injury. He may not be the best QB we will ever see, but he left it all on the field, while our line was getting beat with 3 man pressure, and Tank was limited to miniscule carries.

After thinking about the 1st three games this year, I'm starting to think Harsin and staff are trying to get fired.

Play Geriner. His performance may not be much better to start, but the upside is there, and recruits can see there is some light if they sign on.
With our line, and playcalling, he will get killed and possibly shellshocked.

I just hate the way Harsin lies about stuff. He was asked yesterday whether TJ was hurt and he said "Nah, he's fine, ready to go."
Also apparently said he wasn’t aware of any injury to Calzada

I’m convinced the guy just said, “frick it, they’re gonna fire me anyway, I’ll just not worry about any of this football shite until I get my buyout check.”

Harsin answered the reporter asking about Calzada and his health…

Harsin said do you know something I don’t

If you are sober enough to know which QB is in the game, you are doing it wrong.

Calazada threw in warm ups and during the game. If he was injured to the point he was considering surgery it doesn't seem like he'd be going through all that

I can't say I disagree with your assumption.

Alston just posted a pic of him and Geriner with a tweet that said very soon.

All these different tweets from the players don’t seem normal or we are looking more since a shite show is going on but is the locker room fractured and we don’t know it?

There is definitely something brewing behind the scenes. Finley's shot at the OL about pressure he retweeted earlier in the week. Now apparently his TJ's dad is talking shite and pointing the finger at everyone but his son. Most of what he said is true, but damn, why come out publicly like that?

But the QB is supposed to be a leader. A leader doesn't throw his OL under the bus regardless of how bad they played. A leader especially doesn't let family members publicly trash his teammates. This season has the potential to go very, very bad. Worse than the most nega could even think, I believe. Something is definitely not right.

I imagine the frustration of looking out of his ear hole every other play would probably make a guy say some stuff

Oh I get it. Finley has every reason to be frustrated behind that OL. But you air those frustrations in the locker room with coaches and teammates. You don't give underhanded shots by retweeting stats and having your daddy go on a podcast to trash the staff and TJs teammates. All that does is create animosity and make the entire situation worse than it already is.

Like I said, most of the things his dad said are correct (I'm not entirely sure that TJ should just be given QB1 status back if/when he returns from injury as he suggested). But there is a better way to handle it. And everyone who accused Pat Nix of playing "daddy ball" and all that with the staff (myself included) better keep that same energy with Dee Finley and his appearance on that podcast.

When in the hell are we going to learn our lesson about these terrible buyouts? Harsin going to get $15 mil.
