STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State offensive coordinator Ricky Rahne took responsibility Monday for calling the failed fourth-and-5 running play on the Nittany Lions’ final drive against Ohio State, saying “ultimately I didn’t give our guys the best chance to succeed.”

The play came at the Ohio State 43 with 1:22 left in the fourth quarter Saturday night and the Buckeyes leading 27-26. Quarterback Trace McSorley, who accounted for a school-record 461 total yards in the game, handed to Miles Sanders on an inside run and the tailback was stuffed for a 2-yard loss. Buckeyes defensive end Chase Young looped inside on the play and made the tackle after being virtually unblocked.

The Buckeyes ran out the clock from there.

“I was upset with (the play call) because there was a particular thing that I should have foreseen and I didn’t,” Rahne told The Associated Press. “I should have foreseen one other thing, and I didn’t. That made it a little bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be.”

Rahne, who is in his first season as No. 11 Penn State’s playcaller, said he was most upset that head coach James Franklin and McSorley were left to answer for his call after the loss to the third-ranked Buckeyes After games, Franklin’s policy is that only he and the players address the media.

Penn State took two timeouts before the decisive play and Ohio State called its own timeout in between.
