Eeerily similar guys...Had ball down close to field goal range, on a 3rd and 1, got a stupid motion penalty, ran the ball, did not get the 1st down, pooched punted, and then Kordell Stewart happened as Ty Law failed to time him jump and knock the ball down.......That single play killed that team for that year and eventually led to Moeller being fired and LLLLoyd Carr having some good and not so good years.  I wonder what the effect this loss has on this team and Hoke???????

playing for field goals is a dumb strategy, especially in OT.  Gibbons is considered a reliable kicker.  however, in his career (before psu game) he has made only 6 FGs > 40 yds.  yet, he has missed 11 FGs in his career.  so settling for a 40+ yd field goal is really dumb.

After doing some research this morning, I think this had to be expected at some point. The 11-2 season was done with Borges and Funk calling the shots, this team is young and plays as such.
