…he might have picked that off


…without ever even turning around to see where the ball was

for sure it was a touchback, but that rule is a little strange! you fumble at the one inch line out of bounds then your ball at the one inch line. But fumble on the goal line out of bounds it's a touchback.

Doesn't really make sense.

What should it be..... a touchdown? No. A runner realizing they aren't going to get in just "loses it" and it hits his leg like Howard and it's knocked out of the back quickly for a TD.

Down at the fumble point? It's a live ball in the end zone if it rolls around so how could it be down at the fumble point?

I can't tell if Penn State fans are docile, or if their poorly designed stadium let's all the crowd noise escape out the top. The real question is how many years can Penn State lose to Ohio State before Franklin loses his job. PSU probably has the easiest schedules in the Big 10 this year. If Franklin can't pull it off in 2024, I'm not sure if he ever will be able to.

Well, a fumble at the goal line & then a circus-act interception in the end zone the other way. What a wild way to end the half.

It’s gotta be stadium design. The big house and pen state stadiums might have more ppl, but they don’t compare to the noise and intimidation of Neyland. Our seats go straight up and make a bowl , it’s looks like their nosebleeds are a half a mile away from the field .

It should be ruled the same way any other forward fumble out of bounds is ruled - the ball is spotted wherever the ball was fumbled, not where it went out of bounds.

There are big gaps in the corners of Beaver Stadium that I think allows sound to escape.

A big component of a stadium's loudness is its design. There are loud fans at a bunch of different places; the "are X fans louder than Y fans" debates are kind of silly. A huge part of why the two loudest stadiums in the SEC are Tiger Stadium and Neyland is that there isn't really anywhere for the sound to escape except right out the top of the stadium.

The Buckeyes won’t immediately become a crappy program by losing. Penn State on the other hand may become a tough school to recruit against if they can win this game. Go Buckeyes. Don’t let another competitor in on this action.

Furthermore, Penn State will drop like a ton of bricks with a loss, due to a terribly weak schedule.

If Oregon and Penn State both stay in the top 5 and both of your losses are on the road in close games, very good chance you’re in the CFP.

If OSU loses they will drop below the 1 loss and 0 loss teams, like Bama did in the regular polls.

And the CPF poll has always been kind to the undefeated and 1 loss teams before the two loss teams.

The one thing Penn State has that Neyland doesn’t is steep, 90 degree angles for the sound to bounce off of. Recording studios are built so that none of the surfaces are square to one another to reduce echo. It has to be pretty loud the way the end zones offer a flat surface to bounce sound waves from the sidelines.

Neyland’s advantage isn’t the bowl shape, as much as the steep seating, along with canopies and the angle of the skyboxes.

This next series is huge for PSU. OSU gets a TD here I think the game starts to slip away.
