Just horrible ball spotting this game.
So that Deluca could have another interception
I'm sorry CJF is a nice man, a decent man, but not a smart man.
James Franklin is being James Franklin. What an awful 4th down call. He got lucky here with int, BUT how many times do you do that at home up by 14 against a big underdog?
The guy continues to be a problem on game days.

CJF is an evil genius. He set that all up so the D could hurt the SMU QB psyche even more. 
No can our staff just coach the rest of this game without killing our momentum?!?
I like James, but that was the dumbest call in psu history. Thank you dom
He might be a very smart man, but it's not football smarts that's for darn sure....

The line judge literally veered as he was walking to spot it short
Can coaches directly pay players for bailing them out after they make stupid decisions? Asking for a friend...
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.
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’s play so far is not endangering his decision to not go to the league .
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.
it’s an SEC crew, the last time an SEC crew did a Penn State game was the Auburn game where they skipped a down
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
With the PAT, it's 21-0, PSU, with 5:00 left in the 2nd qtr.
