A one point loss is simply put one play away from being a win, and vice versa.  It's not a specific one play, but in general.

It's also a play away from being an 8 point less in effect.

2 best stadiums under the lights,  LSU which looks the best and PSU.
Eh, the "white outs" are getting kinda weird. 
A bunch of dudes waving pom poms the entire time? I dunno. 
"Male" cheerleaders don't even do that.

this is how we think play calling works. This is not how play calling works.
You call plays with the assumption each player will do his job.  And it's a game of poker, not blackjack.  You don't just blindly go with your best play, because the other team knows what that is.  
A surprising play call is a good play call.  But if your players don't execute, it doesn't matter what you call.

The dude had 16 carries for 43 yds on the day. It was a horrible call. 

Especially since they had three time outs to think it over; two by Penn State and one by OSU. 

They may have over-thunk it just a tad.

And yet if the play was blocked correctly and the pass-rushers flew up the field the LBs dropped back and he got the 1st down, it would've been a "great", "gutsy" play-call.

This after-the-fact malarky is stupid.

"IF" they scored a TD on every offensive play, it would have been a record setting blow out. 

So what?

I'm conflicted about pom poms. I usually dislike them. They just don't seem to fit with football - seem soft and classically feminine. On the other hand, the visual effect can be incredible, and they only increment fan participation.

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
It was.  PSU saw something in OSU alignment.   They called a read option- so McSorley did have the ball.  But two things happened— chase young stunted and Dre’Mont Jones blew up the play.  McSorley would have been drilled.

No way he could have kept the ball and done anything with it. 

Folks would be howling "Why didn't he just hand it to Sanders? Jones was right there in his face!"

1st - Here's to hoping that Christion Abercrombie from Tennessee State can recover. Just read he is still in critical condition after collapsing on the sideline.

2nd - man what a game, what a game. OSU suckered PSU into that 4th down play. Franklin and Mcsorley both said they had seen OSU line up like that and that there was a seam in the middle they could exploit. Then Chase did a stunt and filled in that gap. Boom, game over.

Didn't appear to be an option he handed him the rock pretty quick.Franklin later at the presser said it was a bad call.Just the way the play set up - congestion instead of McSorley rolling out and freelancing.Great game shame someone had to lose.Hope every weekend has at least one competitive nail biter.hats off to McSorley & PSU
