Down 28-0 in the third quarter and faced with a fourth-and-goal from the Michigan 2-yard line, Penn State coach James Franklin decided to kick a field goal.

To say Nittany Lions fans were unhappy is an understatement.

Here are some reactions:

So Penn State's going to kick a field goal down 28-0

— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) September 24, 2016

SAD FIELD GOAL TIME

— Brad Rowland (@BTRowland) September 24, 2016

Aw, Penn State sad field goal attempt.

— Tim Hodgson (@timhodgson) September 24, 2016

Kicking a field goal down 28 from the two yard line???????

— tris (@ChrisUlvinen) September 24, 2016

Kicking a field goal here should get Franklin canned…still would be a 4 possession game you lunatic

— Harry Dunn (@steve_osh) September 24, 2016

Before Penn State could get the kick off, it was forced to call a timeout with the play clock winding down. It looked like Franklin may reconsider…

Penn State lined up to kick a field goal on 4th-and-goal from the 2, down 28-0. Luckily, they called timeout.

— Dave Hogg (@Stareagle) September 24, 2016

@GregPickel if he's taking a timeout to save a 21 yard field goal from becoming a 26 yarder, they should pack up the bus now.

— Ryan (@firkster) September 24, 2016

If Penn State comes out of this timeout and still lines up for a field goal… pic.twitter.com/EWKmRdKl4B

— Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) September 24, 2016

And…

He's still kicking the field goal? pic.twitter.com/1h1BZtaClc

— Garrett Fishaw (@MGoFish) September 24, 2016

Still field goal. Hits it. Now 28-3. Ok…

— Mark Snyder (@Mark__Snyder) September 24, 2016

And Tyler Davis hits the 21-yard field goal. James Franklin should walk back to State College.

Michigan 28, Penn State 3

— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) September 24, 2016

That must be our game winning field goal for when we score our 4 touch downs.
