Indiana Refuses To Quit

USPA NEWS - Penn State coming into Memorial Stadium after back to loses to Ohio State and getting upset by Michigan State last week. They had revenge on their minds and didn't care where they had to go to find it! Unfortunately for the Hoosiers they were the target of the day.

Indiana Hoosier's quarterback #12 Peyton Ramsey and company had serious plans to make Penn States day not so joyous! Penn State coming to town on back to back loses had the Hoosiers think upset. Even when Penn State received the kick off and moved down the field to score on a short run by their QB, #9 Trace McSorley. Hoosier's wasted no time and answered quickly with a score of their own from leading rusher #21 Stevie Scott. Scott had 26 carries for 138 yards and 2 TD"s. Ramsey lead the passing attack with 236 yards on 26/36 attempt a 1 TD to #5 J Shun Harris II. MCSorley had combined yards of 327 yards in a 33-28 victory over Indiana. #9 Freshman backup to Ramsey saw some playing time throwing 9/19 and 94 yards and rushing for 2 carries with 24 yards. Penn States balance attack kept the Hoosier defense on the filed more than they wanted. Not to appear to being onside or pointing fingers, there were a couple of calls and more so NO call the seem to change the momentum of the game. In my pictures there is a series that shows a NO on a pass interference. Indiana had been moving the ball on Penn State and at that point had the lead 13-10. When there was a no call it forced Indiana to punt turning the ball over on downs. Penn State proceeded to score on the next series. Penn State then kicked off to the Hoosiers. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers there was a fumble on the return and Penn State got the ball back, and yes ended up getting a field goal. Penn now led 20-13. My point being, had there been the correct pass interference call, Indiana would of had a first down inside the 25 yard line. Hoosiers had been very successful moving the ball and had the momentum going their way. Now lets say Hoosiers score, either one, TD or field goal, they would of then kicked off, they would not of fumbled because they would being kicking not returning. Calls or no calls can absolutely crush a team. Has the replay system made officials somewhat lackadaisical in their play calling? I'm not saying it would have changed the outcome of the game, but it was just so obvious to see the attitudes and momentum swing. Indiana on the other side needed to play to win rather than playing not to get beat. They are learning with every game on how to win, expect to win, demand to win.
