Another big game Baker Mayfield gets to underwhelm in. Good news, he's coming back for his 12th year so they can go 10-3 again.

Just a glorified exhibition game, with not much at stake! Nothing wrong with risking it for the win, trying to win in regulation. If it was a 4 team play-off game for the NC, do you think they would have played it differently?

I agree on the 2nd pass, but the worst mistake of the two was throwing off his back foot on the first one when the receiver was wide open and giving the defender time to close and deflect it.

Maybe, but does that mean we use that excuse for any game that isn't for a title? Both teams clearly wanted to win the Rose Bowl. They played ultra, ultra conservative with the lead...

You're right though, the game doesn't mean anything but that doesn't mean you just give it away.

PSU finally got bit in the ass with all those deep passes. Lived all year and had great breaks in many games.

Two plays earlier if the receiver comes back to the ball they have it 10 yards from FG range with 45 seconds left

Receiver comes back to ball at all and PSU wins

Penn St outscores USC 49-22 in the middle two quarters, scoring a TD on each of their 7 possessions, while getting shut-out in the first and 4th quarters having 5 punts and 2 interceptions on those 7 possessions.

Seemed rigged. That defense on their last drive? Drove field in 39 seconds and got behind corners every time and blatant interferences

Mark May is such a douche bag. Does he ever stop taking shots at OSU? How about being a professional, Mark.

Yep, heard his shots at OSU and immediately turned it. Can't believe ESPN still pays that clown.

Can't stand when you go a whole season saying conference __________ was the best. And then completely change your opinion based on one game per team.

If I'm Mixon's agent I'm telling him to show proof of therapy for abusing women and his first game check will be donated to women who have been abused.

Baker Mayfield has made play after play after play and looks like Manziel when he won the Heisman. You are quite wrong on that part of your post.

Don't feed the troll.
He only shows up here when OSU loses. He has no one to root for, only roots against the Bucks. His favorite team has now won 6 games in 5 years.
