Big 10 Championship. No. 1 team in the nation on the ropes, up 8, without the ball. 2nd and 1, near midfield, Penn State comes out of the two-minute timeout…and does this?!?!
If any NFL scouts needed further convincing that Penn State QB 15- Drew Allar is a future, no-brainer Round 1 selection, the true junior provided it on a national stage against a Top 10 defense. However, when the game was over in Indy, all I saw scattered across the Interwebs was that this video above was a “bad call” or “Why would your play call be to throw up a 50-50 ball when we’ve had success in the intermediate?!”
This playoff stuff is crazy, man.
For the second time in two months, Penn State lost its game of the season … and yet it still has a chance to play for the national championship.
For the second time in two months, the Nittany Lions looked like they belonged on the biggest stage of the college game and had a few tantalizing moments where victory was allllllmost in their grasp. And for the second time in two months, they made enough mistakes to watch a signature win slip through their fingers.
