The deflected omg he caught the bomb was the insane play. Paterno could have kicked a field goal or went for it but punted and it was a freaking touchback. The loss vs Tom Brady and Michigan the week before was worse as we dropped lavar into coverage on the last drive instead of blitzing him. Still baffles me to this day.

I believe the Michigan game was the week after the Minnie game. We were undefeated and #1 if I recall correctly going into the Minnie game.

Oh yea. So true. My bad. Could have still been in it if we didn’t go prevent.

Michigan game was the following week. and IIRC a horrible Pass Int. call against Brandon Short on 4th down to keep Brady and Michy alive.
