Psu kicking themselves.   Had chances.
Final play call will haunt them. So will not kicking the field goal earlier in the quarter.

I don't have any stats to back it up, but it seems like every time a team completely dominates the first half but are only up by a TD or so, they often lose.

In Tates defense they aren't running him.  I'm guessing he wants this, to throw. He never has designed runs.

ASU with its first ever 300+ yard single game rusher.

Eno Benjamin with 30 carries at 10.4 ypc. Yeah, Oregon State's D is atrocious but that's still impressive.

Meh, if PSU's 4th down call was "odd", then it should've worked.  It was certainly unexpected, which is a plus, but look at #71 in the replay.  Doesn't do a damn thing.  Literally stands up and pivots and blocks air.

Can't do that and have a play work, sorry.

I really try to judge play calls based on the situation and not the result of the play.  If Penn St would have popped that for a TD I still would have said that was an odd play call.

this is how we think play calling works. This is not how play calling works.

he's impressive for sure. perfect fit for that style of wide open shotgun spread offense where the QB is a threat to run. Shea Patterson would kill it in that sort of offense.
Am I the only Michigan fan underwhelmed by Patterson? Seems very indecisive and unwilling to throw down field. Granted, the play calling is awful and the bubble screens have to stop, but he had plenty of chances to air it out and took a sack or a very short qb run. 
When Patterson was out a few weeks back, I actually though Mccaffrey brought more energy and polish to the offense. Patterson has been a letdown from my seat.

as soon as that play developed Herbie mentioned(and everyone else) that it should have been a McSorley option that - put the ball in his hands.Well Ya,stick with what works.PSU had just taken a TO also so I don't blame Lion fans for getting salty

how did Wisconsin lose to them at home?
Shit happens.
Washington is the only decent team in the PAC. Best coach too. Man, that conference has really taken a dive.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

This poses another question, which is how far should PSU fall in the rankings.  I'd argue, none at all.  Granted they were at home, but they were a play away from the W.  When you play the #4 team even even at home with the WO and you are #9, you should stay at #9.

ND impressed me yesterday, though I did not watch the game.  They looked awful against Vandy.  Even good teams look awful at times.  If you do that against decent competition, you can lose (Wis-BYU).

Bama however doesn't seem to look awful.  They are boring.  Strikeouts are boring.

Penn St wasn't "a play away from the W." They went for it on forth because they were out of FG range. They were a play away from getting a first down.

Although I agree with the general premise that this loss shouldn't sink them in the rankings.
