Other games of note...appetizers for tonight's main course

Not sure about that. They lose and then beat us they still have two losses. We finish with one loss to them then we are ahead of them to play in the B10 ccg. If we would go to the B10 ccg we would have to win otherwise we drop behind them and had to play an extra game.

I honestly can't see how Ohio State winning is better for us.

Then again, if we take care of business next week, it won't matter.

But first we need to take care of business tonight.

I think the targeting was a close call but the benefit of doubt right now goes in favor of protecting players.

The pass interference stuff is like a box of chocolates. From week to week...game to game...ref to ref...you never know what you're gonna get.

One thing for sure: there was a clear DPI against Ohio State that was not called and the non-call ended a critical Nebraska possession.

Oh and also, Day went berserk, losing control of himself, running on the field and throwing his headset...but didn't get flagged.

Somehow I don't think they'd let Franklin get away with that. Then again, Franklin would never do it.

The Bronze match showed me a different side of Mitch. I hope he grows it.
I need to shower in bleach after agreeing with Tan Tom, but he's right about this:
"Regardless losses are never the worst thing for us. They are hard to witness, yet they help us grow."

It was the sane half of his whine about Zain beating Stieber (Q&A #11). Always good to revisit his "average official" quote.

It's 100% better for us. If we win it's an elite win. If we lose, it's ignored as a loss.
Do we want to go to the CCG in that scenario? I'd much rather take the 5 or 6 seed.

I'm just informing you of what an actual PSU fan wants, since you tried to instruct others on how to be a PSU fan, and you failed. OSU going down in flames matters a lot more to me, and the program, than hoping they're as successful as possible, except when we play them. It would be monumentally stupid to root for as successful an OSU as possible, absent when they face us. Put logic over your emotion of cowardice.
You're informing me of what people that blindly hate the Big Ten want--they're not real fans--most of them don't know anything about the sport.
Ohio State winning today was best for Penn State--regardless of how ignorant some fan is

It’s better for us that Ohio State wins this game. Glad they are.

Horrible officiating in the OSU game -- going both ways. First, they need to fix pass interference/defensive holding. I would make it so there can be no use of the hands on either side. There is no way to call it fairly using some sort of fuzzy "judgment." You extend your hands into the body of the other team and it is a penalty. Teams would have to learn to play differently just as they are trying to do with "targeting." What does "let them play mean" anyway? No one can define that right now.

Second, this targeting thing is ridiculous. No way that was targeting.

Right now officials can really throw a game either way. It's terrible.

Are they setting up some make up calls for next week? Let's hope not.

At least this crew won’t work the game next week because they’ve turned this game into a farce.

College refs are the worst. Every week it’s the same
