Penn State OC Ricky Rahne says he called a run play; "I felt like we had a good chance to run the ball and split it right up the hash."
I agree with HonestBuckeye and elevenwarriors expert video analysis, that this looks like an RPO that got blowed up.
But if the Head Coach, The Offensive Coordinator, and Senior Captain Quarterback all call it a run play, at some point we just need to say frack it, it was a run play and a bad call.
