Miles longest run what was 4 yards and u hand it to him on a 4th and 5 last play
Get real....
Get real....
This team squandered a lot of opportunities and that's on youth and inexperience. That last play call is on the coaches however.

Almost expect our D to fold under pressure in fourth quarter. USC. OSU '17. MSU '17. OSU '18.
No...dumb call, but Franklin didn’t whiff on any tackles in the 4th quarter.
Had a two TD lead with 8:00 left and completely crapped the bed. Lots of stuff happens both ways through the first three quarters. We gagged the game away two years in a row against OSU in the fourth quarter.

Can’t take the ball out of the hands of your best player. Miles had no room all night. A Hail Mary would make more sense.
Herbstreit was as dumbfounded as we were. Why take the mall out of the hands of your most effective offensive player
Apart from with the shitty tackling, we were the better team.
those same defensive Stoppers that did the same thing last year losing to Ohio State and Michigan State... Bottom line is Ohio State made adjustments with the screen game and just enough to get the win... Our staff doesn't make adjustments in all these close losses that we see
Screen passes were the key outcome of this game.
One team knew how and when to throw them....the other team didn’t have a clue and apparently doesn’t have even one in their playbook

Trace was incredible the entire night and you don’t let him create on the last play. That was bad.
No guarantees on that play anyway. Defense folded was the real story

Don’t forget all of the screens OSU dialed up against our blitzes. That was one coaching staff abusing the other all night long.
Was just thinking, I have 40 years of Penn State football. Worst play call ever. Joe beat his head against the wall repeatedly against Bama, but this is a different era, different game. You put the game in Trace's hands and live with the outcome. That was absurd.............................tackling in the secondary was horrendous on those last two drives.
tried that on 2nd down! It didn't work either!!
Just completely terrible and unexplainable last 4 play calls.
Big play to 87 to start and then just crap!
The horrible thing is that the whole night recruits are in a once-in-a-lifetime environment. We had that part of the battle won, then they witness that from our staff. Ugh.
Even if they saw something like the middle opening up and decided that was the best play, they did not consider the optics of failure if it did not work. It was a heck of a gamble that gives you no option if a defender happens to get in the right gap. Took the ball away from the guy who made plays all night. Ugh again.

First of all, you don't blitz on every down,eventually they are going to get the quick short passes for long gains. Mix it up. 2nd, use the tight ends.
I have to hear the ultimate douch
We played such a good game. Too many errors. Bad turnover. But, that Penn St team showed up. A lot to be proud of. Shareef is a beast. McSorely is magical. We are headed the right way. Da O$U was supposed to be so much more talented. That not what I saw at all. We are right with them and rising
How many games have we GIVEN away in the fourth quarter by our coaching decisions?
How many points did we leave on the field tonight?
I hope the coaching staff apologizes to the team and then gives them the next week off.
Recruits? They’re gonna be laughing their ass off at the final play call. Heck, ANYONE between 8 and 80, blind crippled or crazy is out there laughing their ass off.

Getting constantly burned on screens is on the coaches. The screen to Dobbins most likely won them the game. Can't have them pinned inside the 5 and give up 40 on a screen.
If that's your belief, the coaches can never lose the game, because the players should've just executed better. The first half Stevens crap was a disaster and they refused to accept it for way too long. The fourth down play calls were atrocious. Yes, the players failed to make some plays, no doubt. But that happens every game. They played well enough to win. The coaches took points away from them. And this is the third time it's happened in big games. At some point it isn't just a coincidence, but something to be concerned about with Franklin.
I would’ve thrown to the TE. With Hamler knocked out of the game, he is our best weapon. The drops cost us the game, not the last play but the drops. It’s evident the staff has little confidence in the WRS, so they thought Miles was their best option. Let’s also not forget the targeting penalty that eliminated one of her best d-lineman.
