Agree. It reminded me of the lame ass call the Seattle Seahawks made a few years ago when they blew the super bowl by trying a pass from the one yard line. When you’re first and goal from the 3, a good team should be able to score by running it up the middle.
Last INT On Fant?

Apparently the coaches thought we should run the ball and try to use some clock but Stanley was changing the play.
Even though I think Fant has been a bust so far this year for the most part...that is on Stanley to just use a TO... too important at that moment down by 6 and inside the 10 to do anything else except get a TO...!!
1st and goal on the what, 5 yard line?, why in the actual $&*# is Stanley killing the play (which I'm assuming was a run up the middle with Young, as it SHOULD BE) and throwing a 2 yard dump, in a screaming stadium when WRs aren't paying attention. This is all coaches; call a timeout! Talk about it! There is zero reason anyone but Young should be running the ball 3 times up the middle.
Only 1 guy out of 11 didn't realize that the ball was snapped. That guy was not aware of the situation his team was in with the play clock while all of his teammates were. The guy he was supposed to take out of the play made the interception. Surely he is partially to blame on that play.
The guy wouldn't have hadn't an interception if the QB could throw a three yard pass accurately.
The sad thing is that the play call was perfect if the players executed it. If Fant runs hard off the line and pulls his defender with him, the RB was wide open to catch an easy pass and walk into the endzone.
But yes, the refs not granting the TO was BS.
Stanley not calling TO was BS
Fant not realizing the ball was snapped sucked
Stanley throwing that pass when it should have been obvious not to sucked.
I personally would have run the ball on first down even if there was no gain or a minimal loss if only to run some time off the clock. We weren't worried about running out of time but should have been worried about leaving too much time.

Not running off the clock was the exact reason that I didn’t mind passing the ball. Iowa probably would have scored at some point but there was 3:30 left on the clock at the time of the pick and each team had multiple time outs. Even if it takes Iowa three tries to get the ball over, there’s about 1:30 left and PSU has multiple time outs. Too much time and we’ve seen that story before. Whereas if Iowa executed as they should have, PSU gets the ball with over three minutes left, Iowa has two timeouts, and likely gets one more chance with a stop or if they give up a quickish score.
It was a good playcall that was executed horribly and should have resulted in a timeout.
wrong don't be a clown, this was 100% on stanley for even being DUMB enough to throw that ball in that situation....
really a bust? do you know NOTHING about football or just want to act like a total tool?
Stanley 110%. He's the qb regardless of the plays being called, time left on clock, or anyone not ready, the ball is in HIS control. Call a time out, run up the middle, or chuck it out of bounds. He panic like a baby, had a brain fart as usual, and floated un unexcused pass. One of the worst qb play I've ever seen. A high school qb would've handle the situation better.
since the play clock was winding down, Nate called for the snap when Fant was still trying to communicate to other players. Fant, therefore, did not move when the ball was snapped.
On that play, per Mark Emmert & Chad Leistikow:
* Fant was supposed to run a route to take the safety with him.
* Since Fant did not move, the safety (who got the INT) did not move.
* Nate threw the ball where he was supposed to throw the ball. Problem was that Fant had not moved and the safety had not moved either It was too easy for the safety to make the pick.
Nate changed the play at the line, Fant was relaying the change to the receivers to his left. Nate realized he only had one sec on the play clock and had to get the ball snapped. This was not on Fant. Nate should have called a timeout (can't remember if they had any left). Bottom line, Nate wasn't managing the clock well on that play.
I agree with you. I am just saying Fant didn't know the ball was even snapped when relaying the signal. Therefore he never moved. I think we are saying the same thing .
Yeah, i am not arguing. Just stating what I heard from reporters who asked the postgame questions on what was going on with that play.
Its a shame KF was not granted that TO.
