‘Absolute Bullshit’: Fans React To Penn State-Indiana Officiating
It’s safe to say Penn Staters aren’t too happy following the No. 8 Nittany Lions’ heartbreaking 36-35 overtime loss to Indiana.
The game came down to a gutsy two-point conversion for the Hoosiers. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. scrambled to the left side and stretched for the pylon, ultimately leading to the win following an incredibly long replay review.
Questioning the officials’ decision-making and reasoning, Penn State fans took to Twitter to offer their honest opinions on the game’s wild finale.
Clearly hits white first but they’re not gonna overturn

Lol. That was an epic choke job.

The ball clearly hits out of bounds and then hits the pylon. In what world is that a score?
— Bob Bauer (@fombellman) October 24, 2020
Fucking joke……
— Todd Taylor (@toddytails) October 24, 2020
Absolute bullshit call. Garbage B1G refs.

Gotta love the BS offensive PI against Pat, the facemask that was all shoulder pad, or the fact Indianas O-line never got called for holding entire game

The call was an awful call. They already trying to set up the Playoffs…they don’t want PSU back in them…even though we lost that game ourselves…

The refs done messed up
— Nick (@n1ckpsu82) October 24, 2020
definitely got screwed on that one
— Seth Evanoski (@sethevanoski) October 24, 2020
He was OUT. Dont know how refs miss that call
— John Azike Jr. (@theafronurse) October 24, 2020
the ball is on the ground. bullshit.

Some fans said they didn’t care about the call solely because Penn State “didn’t deserve to win.”
We don't deserve to win anyways. I've never seen a more outplayed psu team, even during the dark years.

Regardless of whether that last play was out of bounds or not, it should have never come down to that.
— Zeke (@zackvan12) October 24, 2020
The entire rest of the game Penn State played like garbage and should never have depended on a questionable call like this. Forest for the trees….

A few fans went so far as to question James Franklin’s coaching abilities following an all-too-familiar disappointing loss.
Franklin outcoached again, not a surprise we lost this game. No chance we beat Ohio State
— Ben12345 (@Ben123458408765) October 24, 2020
Franklin should be fired. We should not have been in overtime. Should had killed the clock on previous possession at end of game. All this talent, and we continue to go backwards every year
— mike wells (@2ironmike) October 24, 2020
The caliber of person Franklin has recruited to this team is embarrassing. I’d rather lose every game than have such soft, entitled, and undisciplined people representing the school.
— Kip Smithers (@nittanyszn) October 24, 2020
Wow Penn State sucks this year. @coachjfranklin what happened to becoming elite like you said?
