I think that once PSU got up 10 and we couldn't get a stop, it really took the air out of the stadium. Then the offense couldn't sustain a drive to counter OSU's score and it became what it became. Once we went up 10, we needed either the defense or offense to make a statement, and neither happened.

Because OSU actually knows how to play defense and has excellent DBs.
Hmmm. Oregon would not be a case in point. You have to have playmakers on offense in order to challenge a defense like tOSU, Georgia, Ala. They are who they are and we are who we are because of the lack of playmakers.
Anyone else flash back to 1979 vs. Alabama? Three straight into middle of the the line and no score from the one yard line! Where was the imaginative play calling?
Geez. When will Penn State fans stop this ridiculous assertion that the Lions ran "[t]hree straight into the middle of the line ..."?
Scott Fitzkee's catch to the one was on SECOND down. Matt Suhey actually scored on THIRD down, but was marked short. Then Mike Guman failed on the leap on FOURTH down.
Hence, there were only TWO dive plays, not three.
Well....tOSU is a very talented team....however once again PSU appeared to turtle up....I saw few throws to get the ball out quick. One thing we learned is DA can run. Tom Brady made a living utilizing short throws to Wes Welker and Julian Edleman. Urban Meyer did it to us in 2017 while losing switched to small ball. As much as I like CJF he seems to have "his" views concerning offense and they haven't evolved.
Well excuse me for the memory loss....thanks for reprimand.
I totally agree....you forgot to include the "Joe allowed a pedifile to rape children" ignorant faction. Yet PSU refuses to adjust nor refute these claims....I believe because we have a laisse faire BOT. Nothing will change, they will continue to lose lawsuits with zero retribution from the school administration. Yes, PSU is my alma mater but it is very difficult for me to support the current administration. The school has declined since Graham was falsely accused...amazingly i have heard young alumni berate Graham as the evil along with Joe for all PSU's problems...
Yes the unsportsmanlike penalty was a disgrace...but not to CJF as #9 remained on the field. I expected his butt to be sitting but our coach didn't...yet a lack of disipline cost PSU dearly on numerous plays.....there is zero concern of losing playing time due to stupid penalties.
Michigan had the same avg stars thaf we did. They just designed an offense that beat them 3 years straight. He figured this out after he had gattis with Moorhead basic rpo and it didn’t work.
Official giving O$U a new set of downs and 7 points on bogus unsportsmanlike call is what really killed the momentum.
There have been plenty of bogus calls against Penn State when they have played OSU. That call wasn’t bogus. It was just a really dumb play by our player.
at no point in that game did I think they would win. The first goal line failure in the first half I said to my cat, "If they throw the fade, hide the bricks or this TV is a gone johnson". When Warren was marked out at the three instead of the one late in the game, I never thought they'd score a touchdown. I personally don't feel that the score reflected a game that PSU was never in.
I frequently defend CJF, but the lack of discipline really bothers me.
