#2 Indiana at Penn State (Fox)

[TrueOrange]

What an awful screen throw on the run...that could have easily turned into a fumble and ended the game right there.

 

[molsen81]

Hootie Hoo!

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Tough to win on the road. Well done, IU.

 

[TrueOrange]

IU wins 27-24 final

 

[JMSqb11]

Penn State absolutely moronic wasting that timeout.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Great game, while all the others so far have been boring

 

[volfan102455]

IU should have won this easily - not sure they are all that.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not yet

Yeah about that.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yeah because good teams never struggle with teams they should blow out.

 

[JMSqb11]

I’ll never understand this weird year of coaching decisions in games. Seems like just dumb choices happening more and more each week.

All these coaches see the mass number of firings this year and clinch up lol

 

[TheVolsFrog]

What dumb coaching by Penn
No timeouts left, yeah lets keep playing off the guys and letting them pick up first downs that stop the clock when you've shown if you pressure their QB you can cause mistakes.
Penn season is over, no playoff, probably no bowl at this point, bring the pressure all 4 times and go for broke and be the spolier

 

[molsen81]

James Franklin would’ve done the same thing. He’s not exactly a smart one.

And this is why Penn State’s best replacement for James Franklin is………James Franklin

 

[NEO]

Man I don’t think it will happen but would love to see IU win it all. That catch was maybe best Al time for a TD.

Especially since the 3 or 4 times they did blitz they sacked or blew the play up; though I think 1 or 2 of the plays they did and IU just made a great play.

Man tell me about it, dumb calls by Penn and then they tried to sub on defense and got lucky they were able to get a timeout in
Head shaker

Yeah because good teams never struggle with teams they should blow out.

Any team other than Tennessee can struggle it seems and still be a really good team.

I just think OSU is going to crush IU.

You probably need to look up past national champions; almost every one of them had at least 1 game they almost lost to an inferior opponent, and sometimes did.

 

[TrueOrange]

I’d challenge you to find me two dudes any happier than the guys calling this game.

It is quite obvious they are for the underdog.

It's Gus Johnson. That's always been his default level when calling games, regardless of which two teams he's watching play or which sport he's watching.

Here he is calling a game back in 2009 between a 3-3 NFL team vs an 0-6 NFL team:



Edit: apparently the NFL has required that this one actually be watched on the youtube website/app.

They stopped doing what got them the lead.

Struggle and win is better than struggle and lose…especially games you should win anyway.

 

[volfan102455]

That wasn't the point - plenty of folks who heavily put down the team they support in a game like this but are willing to give a team like IU credit.

I just think OSU will beat them badly in the B1G championship game - that is if OSU survives Michigan.

Yup. Who cares what Penn states record was. That’s a team with a ton of talent and a hostile environment. It’s an impressive win.

 

[GVol1966]

Lol that's why I said it would have. You're right though. They have a clutch QB who is a Heisman candidate. Sometimes, you're going to get tested by mid tier teams. This shows how good they can be.

Probably Heisman winner.
Yep even good teams have close games and usually find a way to get a win.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

IU barely beats a struggling PSU with an interim HC

 

[sami]

My #1 observation watching the last few minutes is that Gus Johnson is an embarrassment. Thank goodness he only does Big 10 games.
