On the 4th down play...taht is something we've gotten all year and kicking into the wind in the 2nd Q the punt would have probably been 20 yards! I go for that all day, gotta trust the offense their and unfortunately got a bad spot.

Just when I thought a coaching decision completely changed the momentum of the game, the defense steals that momentum right back.

PSU's D, and DeLuca, rescued PSU from a dumb decision to go for it on 4th & 1. Yes, the spot was questionable, but from the PSU 19, up 14-0, there was no reason to give SMU a chance to get back into the game, IMHO.

Allar is not just bad, he's making throws that even a high school QB would not miss... something is starting to smell funny with his performance today.

I disagree. But if you do go for it, then why go straight following the center? Dawkins is the OL that is most likely to get beaten on the OL. Hindsight is always 20-20, but I would have preferred either an Allar keeper behind Vega, or a handoff to a RB that ran wide
