Seriously
Penn State got the ball at the 48.
Ohio State jumped offside.
Penn State still punts from their 48.

He’s a TON of fun to watch.
Also much better as a passer than I ever would have expected.
Colorado State recovered two against Boise last week in their comeback, although one was called back on a penalty.
You said it. I turned it off several times. I’m not enough of a PSU fan anymore to watch. Though, some of that might be confirmation bias, at least for tOSU, because it felt like they weren’t getting Harrison the ball enough yet I just looked at the box score and he had 11 catches for 162 yards.
The idea is your comeback requires two touchdowns anyway. So with your point after tries, you can either kick two extra points or you can go for two with the first. If you make it, you'll win with your second TD+XP. If you miss, you still have another try to get back to 14. Assuming your 100% on XPs and 50% on 2-pointers, you're trading a 100% chance at a tie for equal 33% chances at winning, losing, and tying. Obviously those aren't the real life base rates, so I assume the actual math tips it in favor of going for it.
Alternatively, it's James Franklin, so there's a very real chance he's trying to cover the spread.
Horns rolling. 21-0 in the second quarter. Murphy will be in by the third quarter and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Arch today.
Just an egregious display of favoritism, spotting everything forward to Bama and everything backward for Tennessee.
At least they got that last one right.

Egregious may be an understatement. Openly corrupt might be more accurate after forcing Tennessee to burn a timeout when the runner was clearly moving forward while going out of bounds.

Also, given enough time left in the game, cutting the deficit to 6 opens up the opportunity to kick 2 field goals to tie it up.
Yeah I was just going to edit my post when I realized this was about the PSU/OSU game. That aspect of it only comes into play when there is more than enough time for a few drives.
