35-29 score was misleading!
Fact was, Penn
State was leading by 3 TD's in the 4th Quarter. Joe Pa put in his 2nd
string to get some game time experience when Indiana scored a late
touchdown. With 2nd stringers in the game.. Indiana got the ball back, and
with no time on the clock, scored on a hail Mary pass and then scored the 2 point
conversation to bring the final score to 35-29. Joe Pa would say later that
putting in his 2nd stringers caused the misleading score... which in turn
caused Pollster's to wake up Sunday morning, see the close score and voted PSU #2 in the Polls instead of their #1 ranking prior to the victory in
Indiana. Nebraska was then voted #1 and the rest is history...or as we like
to say...Bull$hit!
Note to Husker fans...Joe Pa has never nor ever would run up the score
JUST to look good in the polls. I guess Husker fan would say that
if your going to play the game, then you should play to win. I'd rather have
sportsmanship and winning any day over holding a trophy you didn't deserve
AND looking like a PUNK doing it. ...Just our take. |
