Why not even try to score the TD?

 

[Pa$ky859]

Will be glad to escape with a victory. Laid an egg 2nd half.

 

[LionsAndBears]

This is why CMC is better than CJF. Franklin wouldn't think to run clock here.

 

[troutrus]

Just win.

You didn't need it. Game was over taking knees. No style points necessary.

The W is what’s important.

 

[Phils rug]

Ball game, State holds on for the win

 

[Nits1989]

Very strange game, but it’s a win

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ballgame.

28-25, PSU

Their O finally got a drive, when they desperately needed one, in the 2nd half

 

[LionJim]

All my life, I’ve never earned a single style point.

 

[KingLando]

Thought we lost lol

 

[troutrus]

PSU takes a knee on 1st down. Looks as though they are going to run out the clock. Interesting

Smart.

Why risk a fumble on a play? Had it won with the first. That’s the point of the game

 

[LionJim]

On the plane ride home: “A W is a W but we need to do better.”

 

[BobPSU92]

I really hate us.

WE ARE!

 

[psuno1]

My Apologies, I was wrong. Got the win.

 

[Phils rug]

All my life, I’ve never earned a single style point.

We'll give you a honorary style point

 

[84lion]

Whew. Now for what's important - any word on Jack Ham?

 

[Knickslions69]

Why not even try to score the TD?

That’s the only way you could lose

 

[Shepdogg]

Bring on the Convicts!

 

[PSUForever]

Are we happy? I am, of course, but wow should not have been that close.

 

[Midnighter]

Take the win!

 

[LionJim]

Are we happy? I am, of course, but wow should not have been that close.

Truer words were never spoken. I had my heart in my throat the last half hour.

Dear Robert Smith:
I know you are very intelligent and I enjoy your commentating. For future reference, 120 seconds is 2 minutes, not a minute and 20 seconds.

Keep up the good work.

TURRIBLE

PENN STATE!

sorry, lil rusty

I'll give him a pass....he went to Ohio State.

 

[frnkwms1212]

Happy they won, even if they crawled across the finish line.

 

[Calabrin]

Hard to be satisfied with that win. An incomprehensible pants-pissing cowardly 2nd half offensive game plan.

Ever since the turn of the century, this program’s approach to football has been, “Can we just run the clock out for 30+ minutes?”

 

[MtNittany]

I understand the way the game ended, and PSU won, which makes me happy. However...it wasn't exactly much of a show of strength, or execution, or much of anything really.

The UDub defensive players were laughing in PSU player's faces for not trying to score a TD. We all saw it.

The alternative would have put me in the ground.

Dub at u-dub.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

A fitting ugly ending to one of the ugliest 2nd Halves in a win by a PSU team that I've ever seen (and I've been watching PSU Football for almost 60 years - thank God we we're playing an equally awful b1g team or there's no way we win). On another bright note, duhO$U is getting used like a rented mule. Relative to the amounts of money spent on their roster, duhO$U's collapse in important games the last couple years is way worse than PSU's last year. duhO$U is now 6-5 in their last 11 games -- 4-5 against P4 teams over that span.

You win the McAndrew board for the day, good sir,

 

[Calabrin]

Fair enough.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Whoa! My son is at the game with six others friends. Not sure where they are sitting.

Are we happy? I am, of course, but wow should not have been that close.

Mouser needs to be read the riot act by HCMC. It should have happened early in the 2nd half when Mouser started his nonsensical play calling. Mouser needs to go after this year. Out of his league. He is doing HCMC no favors or the defense.

 

[DELion]

Clearly Becht was told at halftime not to continue running up the score so that they wouldn't have to make excuses for not playing Manske in the 2nd half.

 

[Calabrin]

Alright, I’m off to the Penguins game where I’m sure I’ll feel something different than this game made me feel.

The UDub players are either unable to understand that 3 knees eats up 2 minutes and the game is over, or they were trying to goad PSU into doing the only thing that gave them a chance to win the game and that is turn it over trying to score. I am guessing they are stupid, but you don't have to be.
