Message: [QUOTE="TampaLaker, post: 3999084, member: 491"] Did anyone see the end of the PSU/Iowa game (switched over after the end of OT, I just could not take any post-game discussions)? Literally the same choice was faced by Iowa when they were down 20-16 with 7 1/2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. Iowa stopped PSU on 3rd down around the 25, but PSU was called for holding. Ferentz took the penalty moving PSU back so that Iowa would have a shorter field to go for the victory. Now PSU was not moving the ball really well and had their second string QB playing, but same conditions were in place. If PSU gained more than 10 yards, there would not have been any benefit gained by Iowa. So same issue, same choice, but Iowa stopped PSU, different result which was widely praised. I have to say that I have no problem with Dino's decision last week to go for it on 4th & 2 or his decision to take the penalty this week. In both cases, I disliked the play that SU chose on the next play. [/QUOTE]
