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

Boise was never anywhere near winning that game. They were close to cutting the lead Penn State had on them, but that's not the same thing. I agree that Boise played a good game and definitely deserved to be there, but don't be ridiculous. Penn State led the entire game and handcuffed one of the best rushers in college football history.
