Well the refs accounted for 10 points in a double overtime game. I’d say they were a factor.

...by the way, I’m still waiting for you to tell me how an interception at the 40 yd line automatically counts as 7 points against PSU...seems to me, plenty of teams in the history of football have stopped an opponent forty yards away from pay dirt...

...but then of course my well documented senility may have much to do with that...

Pretty sure there’s a stat in the NFL dedicated to “points off turnovers”...I guess they keep track of that just for something to do.

In this case, the turnover shouldn’t have been a turnover. Please tell me the last time (or only time) you’ve ever heard “They didn’t have the correct feed in the video booth” excuse before. Because I’ve seen it all (heel-toe rule against UM), and that one was over the top.

JVP had to literally run down officials for explanations to some of the officiating atrocities committed against PSU while in the b1g. Thankfully, this led to replay - which the b1g sort of pioneered. Funny, JVP also always railed against there not being a playoff in college football (see last night’s 30 for 30).

JVP was obviously ahead of his time.
