Penn state had the game sowed up, and then the coaches stopped calling the plays that got them to that point. I feel sorry for the players, they came back from being 10 points down to take a 15 point lead.

USC stopped the run yet the Penn state coaches kept calling running plays, which allowed USC to get back in the game and win it at the buzzer.

A heart breaker for Penn State for sure. But the most interesting bowl game to watch so far. Penn State scored 21 points in the 2nd quarter and 28 in the 3rd quarter and into the 4th with a 14 come from behind lead, then seemed to turn conservative... away from the game plan that got them 49 points. How many times have we seen a team leading into the 4th quarter, go 3 and out repeatedly, with the opponent passing for 1st downs to stop the clock, scoring and end up with the lead team losing. That seems to be what happened to Penn State in the 4th quarter.

But it definitely was two great teams giving it their all. Exciting to watch. USC's quarterback, for a red shirt freshman, was near perfect with his throws..... Tom Brady perfect. It came down to a field goal with 5 seconds on clock. Best game of the bowl year to watch. Of course, I'd have preferred for a different winner. :cry:
