POLL: Were James Franklin, Penn State Right to Score on Last Play West Virginia Game?

As the clock ticked down on Penn State’s opening night win against West Virginia, something happened that sparked controversy throughout the realm of local college football.

With six seconds remaining in the game and backups playing on both sides, quarterback Beau Pribula scored from five yards out to add another seven points. As a result, Penn State covered the -20.5 spread and the over for the game.

Lots of complaining on the timeline today about how #PennState decided to punch it in rather than knee it with 12 secs left.#PSU covered the -20.5pt spread with this score. Thoughts?

So WVU fans are upset PSU scored a late touchdown and PSU fans say it was justified because WVU went for 2….. This may be the most mind-numbingly stupid argument I’ve heard. The game isn’t over until the clock reads :00 and both teams should play until then pic.twitter.com/qsLhoS52mf

Did James Franklin run up the score? Do you think it’s ok that the Nittany Lions attempted to score instead of taking a knee?
