Pin MSU at the 1 and they score, and then later a 4th and 15 TD?

Ok, maybe the 99 drive is kind of excusable, early in the game, a few missed tackles, MSU confusing the PSU D….but, but giving up a TD on 4th and 15? I honestly couldn’t believe MSU was going for it…and then to allow the obly thing you can’t let happen? a TD? I could see if was out of a trick play on special teams but come one….from 23-20 to 30-20, bye, bye ball game. Of course the offense has been horrific at times, but besides Wisky’s QB fumbling the game away, the D has come up small in a lot of big spots…throw back by Iowa, late TD drive by Michigan, getting gashed by Illinois a 24 point underdog that passed for only 40 yards, etc.
It’s very frustrating

PSU has become the team that does just enough to lose. In fact they're really good at it and do it a variety of ways so you're never quite sure who'll pull out the loss from week to week. You just know it's going to happen. It's swell being a fan of this program right now.

MSU shouldn't have confused the PSU defense by running between the tackles from their own 1 yd line.

To be fair, Nebraska has been perfecting that act all season long. Small comfort, I know...but it could be worse.

Just another example of Pry coming up small in a big game.

Now that you mention it, it was quite pathetic 99 yards in the snow. 4th and 15 they get a TD. It is sad how far how the mighty have fallen since Joe was scapegoated and forced out.

I also think the "Saquon affect" is real. These kids came here thinking they're going to be the next Saquon but he was a generational back. Enough dancing around behind the line of scrimmage.

You can only blame the RBs so much for "dancing around" in the backfield since the OL is being pushed back into the RB, he has to dance or else just fall into the OL.

Thats a valid point but when the hole is there they either miss it, fool around waiting for it to open or are just not fast enough to do it. Its perfect storm of bad.

Sadly this is a spot on accurate take. I'm afraid that we now don't really know how to win. No one can step up and make a play when it counts. The program has a losing culture. As a fan you just wait for the loss in these close games.

Even more agonizing is this was a 5 - 0 team up 17 - 3 at Iowa in the 2nd quarter looking to go 6 - 0. But then again it could have been at least 21 - 3 if I remember, but it wasn't and from there it all unraveled.

Franklin is getting $75 MM over 10 years. He’s a bargain compared to tucker. mel is getting $95 MM over 10 years. Suddenly, Sandy is looking responsible.

Wouldn’t PSU fans pay the extra to actually win games? Tucker put his team together in a year and a half and beat Franklin who has been 8 years assembling this years team.

Completely agree. The MSU D tackle lines up head on the center and just ran past him. Never touched!!!! PS football has fallen a long way. They truly suck at football. They are the worst fundamentally coached team I’ve ever seen. “Let’s all love each other and have a hug” is not college football.

This is spot on. We just aren't going to be able to win at the level we want with linemen getting blown past. Every game as ridiculous missed blocks from our offensive line. I see a lack of desire and physicality. Our RBs feel it, certainly Sean has felt it into the training tent for 3 years. Nothing matters on this team if we can't get some push on the offensive line.

Sometimes the dancing around is what makes the play a 2 yard loss instead of a 5 yard loss.
