2627863, PSU choked that away, but OSU was definitely the better team.

A lot of nice breaks went PSU's way and they had a pretty commanding lead late in the game. Unfortunately, PSU got manhandled along the LOS on both sides of the ball. Of course it doesn't help when your down to your 3rd/4th string DE and your best OL goes down. Regardless, PSU's defense was absolutely dreadful - couldn't generate a pass rush and the secondary looked completely gassed and lost in coverage.

I'm still at a loss for how terrible the play-calling has gotten for the offense. You have the best RB in all of CFB and you design the most predictable and ass-backwards plays when it's crunch time. Moorehead reminds me of Chip Kelly in that regard. Too stubborn for his own good and just unwilling to stray from his system.

At the end of the day though, I can't be too mad considering OSU was at home and favored to win by 7. I think OSU is winning out, but stranger things have happened.
