PENN STATE!!!!!!

[86WARD]

Gotta put points on the board...defense is giving the offense plenty opportunities tonight.

[Polamalu Princess]

UGH!

[43Hitman]

I wish our defense could do that....

How about that play call on fourth down for Penn State? Fourth and 4 and they hand the ball off with 10 guys at the LOS.

They took the ball out of the hands of their best player and the guy that made plays for them all game. Read/option, hand off to the RB.

Great coaching....:sarcasm:

Awful. That play was set up perfectly for the bubble screen which would’ve most likely netted the 5 yards and if the safety comes crashing down like he did, a slant route with the inside receiver behind that safety would’ve most likely been complete and most likely gone for big yards.

Two timeouts and that’s what ey came up with...a play that hadn’t worked all night to the player OSU was focused on (and was successful in) stopping all night.

I will say it was damn refreshing to watch a football game where I wasn't holding my breath for a flag after every big play and not see the officials become as big a part of the game as the players.

Not to mention the flow of the game not being continuously ruined by being forced to watch 10 minutes of commercials after every punt, kickoff and timeout.

The college game has surpassed the NFL, IMO, and by a pretty big margin at this point. It's simply the better and more enjoyable product.

And this is coming from someone who has never been big on college ball and just started watching more regularly this season.

The officiating crew in that game was actually pretty good. I think they missed a targeting call on OSU but other than that, they pretty much got it right...

I've watched a number of college games this season and the officiating in every one of them has been far superior to what the NFL offers up every week. Review is actually used CORRECTLY and has overturned a number of split second calls that were incorrect. As opposed to the NFL, where it's still 50/50 that a bad call gets overturned, even on replay.

Mostly right, college football is for the most part enjoyable. I will disagree that there aren't as many commercials, commercials still run rampant and halftime at the college level seems to be longer. Also, I think college football is running into it's own parity problem with Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and to a lesser extent Oklahoma often claiming the top spot (Georgia likely as well in a few years), but generally it's hard to watch college football and go a week without watching an exciting game, and yeah the officiating is heads and shoulders above what Goodell continues to trot out

That PSU-OSU game was exciting, but I am flabbergasted by that final playcall. They burn a timeout and come up with that? In a top 10 showdown with the game on the line? Darrell Bevell is laughing at that call

I kinda get the theory behind the play call. You motion Sanders in hopes to get the LBs to shift and then run up the crease for 5 yards and a first down before they get set. However, like I said, it didn’t work earlier in the game and OSU was pretty focused on stopping Sanders...not to mention Young made a pretty good play.

This.

Also, unless your team is a very small college, it seems you can pretty much watch your team play on TV without having to pay Der Kommisar and DirecTV a fortune.
