This has now crossed my "this is boring" threshold. On to LSU-OM

 

[Krymsonman]

Does Penn State think they are BAMA now? First time I remember seeing numbers on their helmets. No good on the Illini try.

I already got this pick right anyway and they may still be playing when our game starts.

 

[Krymsonman]

And PSU shovel pass is.................no good. Let's play another OT

 

[Krymsonman]

Both tries no good. Going to 8th OT.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

If I'm a HC watching this PSU game I think I'd never go for 2 when the game is in regulation.

 

[Tide Rev]

Can you kick a FG?

 

[Krymsonman]

Illinois gets in!! Can they stop Penn State?

 

[Krymsonman]

And Penn State answers. Now tied at 18. 9th OT coming up.

After second OT, all subsequent OT's are two-point tries.

I hate this OT, this isn’t football anymore. What a joke of a way to end a game. College needs to change to the NFL overtime rules IMO. I have always disliked college overtime because it completely removes aspects of the game, like playing your full regular offense or defense and almost removes all special teams play.

Why not just have a field goal contest and keep backing up 10 yards until someone missed. Or how about just flip a coin to decide the winner, since the NCAA wants as little football played as possible. This is just a joke of an overtime but I bet the national media will claim it the best game ever.

Complete joke.

I agree the NFL's rules are the best.

 

[denver]

so its just 2 pt conversions over and over until one scores and the other doesn't?

 

[Krymsonman]

Illinois finally wins this one - 20-18 in 9 OT's.

 

[DogPatch]

Illini win!

 

[TideEngineer08]

Illinois with the walk off single in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

buh bye State Penn

 

[denver]

Penn States freefall through the rankings continues..predictable like the trees losing their leaves every October....yet people still think they are a Top 10 program....Texas of the East

 

[TideEngineer08]

Penn State is not a top 10 program.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Now Penn State can go to Columbus next week and lose yet another game.
