I’m talking about at the end of the game. I even went back and rewound it because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing/hearing. The crowd was chanting P-S-U (I tried to make out if it was the student section or what but couldn’t) while the players were kneeling in prayer. I know what I saw. The only reason I took notice is because the players were kneeling in prayer right behind the media talking heads who were trying to interview coaches.

Ahhh, yes. At the end of the game the crowd was indeed chanting that as the players left the field. In my view it was done for the following reasons: to salute the seniors as it was their final home game, to recognize the players' hard effort under difficult circumstances (that they did not create), and because it's standard practice which has existed prior to this week (the players exit right under the student section).

I caution you against reading into actions without understanding the history or context.
