January 1st at 1pm on ABC.

Thoughts?

[Chieftain2009]

Another Big Ten vs. SEC match up. This should be a pretty good one. Kentucky is scoring 26 per game and giving up 16. While Penn State is scoring 42 per game and giving up 20.

Kentucky leads it right now in the first quarter, 3-0.

[Chieftain2009]

45 seconds left in the first quarter, Kentucky takes a 10-0 lead.

[Chieftain2009]

Penn State gets on the scoreboard and now trails 10-7 early in the 2nd quarter.

[Chieftain2009]

Kentucky takes a 10-7 lead into halftime. They blocked a Penn State field goal that would have tied it with under a minute left in the half.

[Chieftain2009]

UK wastes no time getting on the board in the second half. 12:38 left in the 3rd, they lead 17-7.

Penn State is in trouble without their QB.

[Chieftain2009]

Penn State not looking real good right now. UK tacks on a field goal to increase their lead to 20-7.

Penn State was in trouble with McSorley !!!!!

Benny Snell (from Westerville Central) up here in C-bus wanted to go to Kentucky so he could help change the football culture down there. He has accomplished his mission.

[Chieftain2009]

27-7 at the end of the 3rd.

I don't think Penn State was expecting this. They are getting out played in every facet of the game.

[Chieftain2009]

PSU finally gets back on the board. They now trail 27-14.

[Chieftain2009]

Penn State making it a little more interesting. They now trail 27-21 with 9 minutes left.

[smurray]

Penn State marching, ready to take the lead.

How does a limp around on the sideline the entire third quarter and now he’s in the game, not limping, bringing Penn State back?

Yep, I agree.
Why not run it on that 3rd down, and if you’re short maybe it’s 4th and 1 or 2 and manageable. I think yoi have to try for 6 instead of kicking that FG. Instead, he relied on his defense to stop Kentucky and give his offense time - Big mistake.
