Why not take the penalty and go for it there? I understand the old belief that you never take points off the board, but instead of being down two touchdowns now you're down a touchdown, a two-point conversion, and a field goal.

Still at the 2 yard line. Clifford not playing well. I don't mind him getting out of there with some points.

Okay, could be the break they need.

Gophers going to choke this one away
About to learn a lot about Clifford
PI was a killer, but bad clock management and play calling on this drive

Is this their battlecry or something? If so, congrats you definitely needed this win, cuz that is the dumbest thing ever.

He ran a route. Didn't extend his hands. Defender runs into him. How is that obvious?

If you’re talking about the one at the goal 3 plays or whatever before the final pick we’ll just agree to disagree and let it go I guess
You have Nittany colored goggles , I don’t care who won

It was questionable. Just came at a killer time. There were other PI/nonPI calls that were worse

And yet you're a Packer fan??
I grew up in eastern PA and then spent 8 years in Minnesota for college and law school. Obviously know a ton of people connected to both schools. Paid attention to each when I was there. This was a fun one for me. Glad to see Minnesota pull it out because of how terrible their athletics usually are.

I was 100% on board they were going to did this. Especially after Penn St got off easy on that non delay of game/touchdown. Biggest win I have seen out of the gophers that I can remember.
Well, that sucked.
Congratulations to Minnesota. They played like they wanted this one more than us.
In fact, we played like we didn’t want it at all. Secondary play was beyond embarrassing. Goal line offense was often inexplicable. That decision to go for 2 points completely changed the endgame. We easily left 7 points on the field...probably many more.
And even with all that shooting-ourselves-in-the-foot we still nearly pulled it out.
If we can eat some humble pie and learn from this and (BIG IF) play to our potential the next two weeks, we can still win the B1G and make things interesting.

Minny got way too conservative and almost lost this one. Their passing attack couldn't be stopped. So what did they do - started to over run the ball. Made no sense to me. Slants , deep routes , it was all working. Psu secondary got destroyed. This game shouldn't have been close if Fleck would have kept the hammer down. Young coach, he will learn.
OSU will blow out PSU for sure.

OSU has been the best team in the Big 10 all season. Now we learned that Penn State is the third best team, at best.

On Feb. 9, 2011, Fleck lost his second son, Colt, to a heart condition. Row the Boat originated after his son passed away.
“As you hold your son as he passes away, your whole life changes. What you believe in, how you’ve believed in it, what you’ve done to that point, where you’re going to go and how you’re going to live your life all changes. But Row the Boat is really my second son’s life as I continue to live his life for him. It’s his life.
“It’s a never-give-up mantra that has to do strictly with life or adversity or handling success, never giving up, and it means a few things. When you row a boat, you’re rowing, don’t ever look at me and paddle. That’s completely different. We’re rowing. Your back is to the future, which is something you cannot control, nor can you see. You have to trust the person in front of you, that you’re looking at, that they’re doing their job and rowing at the same speed, same efficiency as you are. But that’s the future, you can’t control that. You don’t know if there’s rocks, water falls, stormy seas, you don’t know what’s ahead of you. You’re rowing in the present, which is the only thing you can actually control, and the only thing you can actually have an impact on. You either choose to take your oars and put them back in the boat and stop, or you put them back in the water and continue to go. But you’re looking at the past, which is the only thing you can actually learn from. But you can’t change.
“There’s three parts to rowing a boat: there’s an oar, there’s a boat and there’s a compass. The oar is the energy you bring to your life, your family, your team, your spiritual life, your personal life, your social life. It’s the energy. Energy breathes loves. If you love something, you’re going to put a lot of energy into it.
“The second part is the boat. The boat is the sacrifice. What are you going to give up for something that you never had. The more you sacrifice, the more you give. Our program is about two things: serving and giving. The more you give, the bigger the boat gets, the more people you can put in it and the sturdier the boat gets. You can go through any waterfall, any storms, you can fall off waterfalls, you can do a lot more when you have a sturdy boat. But there’s going to be people that want to put holes in that boat. There’s going to be people that want to throw you out of that boat eventually as a coach.”
“Then last but not least, the compass, which is the most important part for our young people, and that’s who you surround yourself with. Your compass is the direction of where your boat is actually traveling. But your traveling in the direction of people that you’re actually surrounded by, and you’ve got to be OK with your circle getting smaller as your life goes on by the decisions you make.”
“So, again, it’s our version, it’s my son’s life, it’s my obligation as a parent from now on, to live his life through my life and to make sure that people are aware he couldn’t live his life for himself, so I have to live his through this never-give-up type attitude.”
