They can go victory formation and essentially end the game. Instead they run a play. The guy scores. You can see that he realizes he should just fall - as he tried to stop. But his momentum leads him into EZ. Up 8. Indiana drives and scores with couple seconds left. Makes the 2PT. Tied. PSU scores. Kicks. Indiana answers, goes for 2 and gets it (although it’s may have been a bad call. QB hits pile on with ball, real close.)
Tough loss. To say the least.OTOH, good for the Hoosiers. First win against top 10 team since 1987.
Tip of the ball was likely across the line before ball touched ground or pylon. It was super close. And the call on the field was key since it was close enough that they had to let the call on the field stand.
FWIW - Indiana was super lucky the k/o after the 2pt to tie the game late in the 4th didn't turn into a winning FG.
With 8 seconds left, Penn State could have done more to get a few more yards.
Penn State played a terrible game, especially on special teams. They deserved to lose. Crazy to think Indiana did not have a win over a top 10 team in more than 30 years. Ouch!
Great news for the Pac-12 though as Penn State was in the running for CFP slot #4 if they managed to go through the season with just a loss to tOSU.
FWIW - At the start of this weekend the talk was which conference would get two teams into CFP - SEC or BigTen. So annoying
That more or less assumes Big12 and Pac-12 will not have a team.
Logical for Big12 given the records of Oklahoma and Texas, but annoying to imply Pac-12 will lose out to 1 or 2 loss teams from other conferences before any Pac-12 team has even played a game.
