In my many years of watching college football there are only a couple of times when I saw refs brazenly cheat. One was Southern Cal vs. LSU back around 1970 or so.
The other time was Alabama vs. Penn State. A ref with ties to Penn State made a call which could not have been a mistake. He simply gave Penn State a national championship.
Any yes, they should have been given the death penalty.
Despite all that, they really looked impressive last night.
I think Penn State looks good on the field. Just think they should have gotten the Death Penalty and will forever root against them because they didn’t.
I’ve seen a bunch of blown calls over the years, but unsure if it was cheating or incompetence. Worst ever was the USA against Russia basketball game where a gold medal was stolen by the Russians.
