If they would have had replay, the pass to McCloskey would have been ruled no catch. No first down, no ball on the 5.

They were both robbery on the refs part but the receiver for Penn state was no where near catching that pass inbound. It was clearly out of bounds and really showed the referees favoritism toward Penn

This was a 4th & 1 play. If they make the right call Tom got his first NT. Nope..... this one burns worse.

Huskers still could have won 94 Orange Bowl. Bad call was early in the game. 82 PSU was right at the end.

Just piggybacking on this reply... there should be a 3rd choice: the Texas game in the Suh era when the refs put 1” back on the clock so Texas could kick the winning field goal.

6 of one, half dozen of the other... BOTH calls were HORRIBLE. Easy to make the correct call....IF you're paying attention to your responsibilities.

Nat Championship on the line. In addition there was a phantom PI call in the last minutes that gave them the field position to make their last field goal.

I remember watching this game,and being devastated watching Florida state celebrate at the end of the game, the better team certainly did not win that game.

The 94 Orange Bowl because there was more than one that literally lost the game for us and it was for the National Championship.

It wasn't just 1 call. The FSU TD that was a fumble; the Nebraska fumble that was a TD; the phantom penalty on Dixon's punt return TD; almost every penalty after the Huskers' last FG. It felt fixed.

Thumbs up or down on all-red uniforms for the HCU game?

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17
