The Unbelievable Call That Flew Under the Radar
Last night’s game left many of us stunned, but one particular comment from an announcer has left a lasting impression – and not in a good way. While I don’t put stock in announcer jinxes, this call was so egregious it’s hard to ignore.
A Case of Selective Memory
Greg McElroy, an announcer I generally enjoy listening to, made a baffling statement about Drew Allar’s decision-making skills. He claimed that Allar doesn’t put the ball in harm’s way and makes good decisions. Really? Did he watch the same game as the rest of us?
A Night to Forget
Allar’s performance was underwhelming, to say the least. He missed a crucial throw in the flat for a touchdown early on, leading to a field goal attempt from the 2-yard line. But that was just the beginning. He failed to complete a single pass to a receiver all night, a trend that’s become all too familiar for Penn State fans this season.
A Flag-Saved Fiasco
One play in particular stands out as a testament to McElroy’s misguided praise. Allar threw an interception in the end zone, saved only by a flag. It was a reckless decision, and one that could have cost his team dearly. And yet, McElroy would have us believe that Allar makes good decisions?
A Confusing Conclusion
As the game drew to a close, McElroy’s commentary became even more perplexing. With 28 seconds left, he urged Allar to score a touchdown. But what was the plan there? It was a mystifying statement, and one that left many of us scratching our heads.
In the end, it’s clear that McElroy’s praise for Allar’s decision-making skills was misplaced. Last night’s game was a stark reminder that even the best announcers can get it wrong sometimes.
