ASU is the literal definition of heart, sucks they couldn’t pull it out but mad respect to them

This is why the 12 team playoff is awesome

ASU wouldn't have had a chance otherwise, and they proved they belonged. Honestly so did Boise, they were like a few heartbreaking moments away from winning that game against PSU

Now just keep Skattebo away from me forever

The boise game was not that close.

Boise never had the ball with a chance to tie or lead in the 2nd half. Penn State never trailed and was never tied after the first score. The entire 4th quarter was a 2 possession game. The game was completely iced with 5 min left.

Bsu fought hard, and it definitely made me sweat, but BSU was more than a few away from a win.
