Usually not snapping the ball on time results in a delay of game penalty. The Michigan coaches realized that this was about to happen and called a time out on the sideline before the play clock hit zero. The camera doesn't immediately catch this, but you can see that Michigan is missing a timeout after that. What makes this moment unique is that the stadium was so loud Michigan couldn't get the play off and had to burn a timeout before the game clock even started running.

Home field advantage is a real thing in college. Stadiums will go silent when the home team offense is on the field but go berzerk when the opposing offense is on the field. It makes it harder for the offense to hear the cadence, play call and audibles

It's a little ironic that Jim Harbaugh, the Michigan coach, had been QB for the Bears where he once had a very bad game at a loud stadium. The Bears were playing the Vikings in Minnesota, known for being very loud; for this reason he was ordered to not call an audible. He did anyway, threw a pick-6, and proceeded to get chewed out by Bears coach Mike Ditka.

Penn states campus is truly BEAUTIFUL!!

As a Michigan fan already pumped up for the game at Penn state this year. Both teams should be top 10 and playoff contenders

I graduated from Penn State in 2021 and have been to every whiteout game since 2016. You are right they only have 1 whiteout game per year and it’s against the best opponent Penn State plays at night. The whiteout is considered a unanimous top 2 atmosphere in college football (with LSU being the other). I will be attending the whiteout game this year vs Iowa in late September. This year is very exciting as Penn State should have their best team in 6-7 years.

I go to Penn State. The whiteout is a tradition that went back to the mis 2000's when our student section all decided to wear white and be as loud as possible for I believe Notre Dame. Then it transitioned to the entire stadium wearing white... It is the best environment in the entire world and no one else is even close... Every other school will say they are but when you watch how loud it gets you'll see that it's not even close.

Penn State has about 70,000 undergraduate students. Stanford, for example, has about 1,700 undergrad students. These schools are in D1 and occasionally play each other.

PSU is in its own little town called State College, right in the middle of Pennsylvania.

It’s in “State College, Pennsylvania” which is pretty central of the state and is actually about an hours drive closer to the West (Pittsburgh) than the East (Philly) and has fans statewide (even in Pittsburgh even though Pittsburgh has their own big sports school in the University of Pittsburgh as well. Pitt Vs Penn State is an all time classic rivalry that has been played over 100 times and the fans hate each other- although PSU fans will claim they “don’t care” about Pitt- for this reason)

White Out (or black out or similar for other teams) are usually special games 1 time a year or maybe for the playoffs. They usually have giveaway shirts for all of the fans so that everyone wears the color and makes it really impressive looking. This happens in multiple sports, not just NCAAF.

Even though State College is in the center of PA, Philly is on the southeastern border and pittsburgh is about 50ish miles from the western border and 100 miles from the south border. Scranton is in the northeast of the state too since you mentioned it. Even New York city is not too far of a drive if thats easier to get an international flight to.

Michigan, Penn St, Ohio St,Mich St etc are the Big 10

There are 12 games in a college football regular season; so there are 6 home games. They have multiple theme nights like White Out, Stripe Out, THON game, Homecoming, Military Appreciation, etc.

I was at that game. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced. Somehow it got even louder after they blew the whistle for the time out. And you're right it is only one White Out per season, not every game.

As stated before PSU is located between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg (the capital of Pennsylvania)... For the most part, state universities are located in or around the state capital.

I didn't realize the significance at the time, but I surely was there for the first white out games in 2004-2005. At first it was only the student section in white, but it looked so good on TV it spread to the whole crowd every year.

Hey guys! Penn State is a ‘land grant’ college - the state gave the land to create the school in 1865 and in this case they drew lines from the NW corner of the state to the SE… and from the SW to the NE… and built the school in the center where the lines crossed. And Penn State is its own town - University Park, & the City that has grown alongside the university is State College, where the restaurants and shops and businesses are. There is a ticket purchase line, but the white out game is a tough get… but not impossible. I was offered a ticket for this year’s white out game with Iowa (Sept 24) which I had to turn down!

Its in the middle of nowhere! Its a 150 miles east of Pittsburgh and 200 miles from Philadelphia. My daughter is starting her senior season in a two weeks. We are Penn State!!!!!

Pennsylvania State University Beaver Stadium is in middle of Pennsylvania in town of State College (main campus). It is almost dead center in middle of state. (University of Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia & University of Pittsburgh is in Pittsburgh.) It is a 5 yard penalty for not snapping ball before 30-second clock expires. Penn State does "white outs" for most home games. It is University of Iowa Buckeyes stadium fans that wave to kids in nearby hospital.

It's in Central Pa. I live near Scranton and Penn State is a 3 hour drive from here.

A loud crowd is a huge advantage for the defense. It's a problem for the offense, and a situation like this will only make it worse.

I too, when I first heard of the Penn State whiteout, assumed that they wore white at home for that game. That's generally how it's done, although Clemson had a "grey out" last year for brain cancer awareness that (thankfully) didn't involve the team itself wearing grey uniforms.

White games are typically Saturday Night Home Games at Penn St and they’re about 2 games a season depending on schedule

Pitt is in the south west, Philly is the south east, State College (Penn State) is close to the center. Most of the largest colleges have stadiums which are bigger than NFL stadiums because they're in areas without pro teams, so they literally are like the local NFL team. And so you know, the call and response is "WE ARE!!!".... "PENN STATE" .... which is rooted in lore as the teams answer to whether or not they should leave a black player - Wally Triplett behind when playing Miami a team that wouldn't let black players play. The team took a vote, and unanimously said "WE ARE ALL PENN STATE" which lost the "ALL" over time, and became our call and respond. It's also the LOUDEST stadium in the country, due to it's size and shape. ALSO Penn State - Pennsylvania State University, is NOT PENN - University of Pennsylvania. Penn is in Philly and was founded by Benjamin Franklin. One last thing... Penn State is one of the oldest teams playing football, the uniforms reflect this. There are no names, no helmet stickers, it's always been like that, because they're not individuals, they're ONE TEAM. You can count the teams on one hand who still embody that blue collar work ethic. Penn State, Alabama, to name two. And yes... the White out is ONE game a year. It's a nationally televised game, and is considered to be the most intimidating and toughest environment to play in.

Lovin' the college football fellas!!!

So a kinda basic thing in American Football, Offense goes off of a snap count, auditory... Defense is supposed to move when they see the ball move. Not talking to the video makers, just anyone curious. So when the opposing team has the ball and the defense can look for visuals, and communicate by hand signals, it helps when the crowd is loud, if its your home crowd when you're on defense. can make the offense mishear snaps, plays etc...

Penn State is located in the town of State College, PA near the center of the state of Pennsylvania. Northwest of the Capitol Harrisburg. It has campuses around the state but the main campus is State College.

Penn State University is west of Philadelphia, between Altoona and Harrisburg. There are campuses across the area.

They called a timeout. You get 3 per half. Delay of game is a 5 yard penalty. The White out game is only one per year. This year it's against Iowa and it's always a night game usually the most important night game that year. Iowa waves at the kids hospital. Wisconsin has the "jump around" at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Penn State University's main campus is in State College, PA which is bang in the middle of the state but closer to Pittsburgh.

I was there in the student section for my Senior year. Yes I can confirm it was indeed LOUD!!! WE ARE!

They only do the white out for certain games but college crowds are always that loud. Penn State is the 3rd most successful football team in the conference behind Ohio State and Michigan, so it's always a crazy atmosphere when any of those teams play each other because that's usually one of the most important games of the season for both teams.

It’s actually slightly closer to Pittsburgh but it’s basically in the center of the state

It used to be a penalty against the home team if they did not quieten down after the ball was set. Thankfully they finally dropped that. Still, they were really pushing it in this clip. You are still not allowed to be playing audio/music/crowd noise amplified through microphones/basically any artificial noise through the PA system, after the ball is set.

So in college all the conferences are the same so Penn state, Michigan, Ohio state and Michigan state are all in the big ten with Iowa (the team that does the wave) wisconsin, and Nebraska

Have lived in state college and am a penn state fan my whole life. I will tell you. You have to get to a penn state white out. It's by far the best atmosphere in college football.

This helps the RV culture. Retired couples drive from game to game every week during football season, establishing their memories in tailgating and game engaging. This way, it is seasonal to RV

6:54 Michigan used a timeout due to players couldn't hear the quarterback. If he didn't use a timeout it would be delay of game on the offense and 1st and 15.

The 1980 Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott touchdown pass in the Georgia Bulldogs versus Florida Gators game was the most electrifying moment in college football history. That miraculous late-game pass saved Georgia's undefeated and championship season.

Im a die hard Michigan fan. But i gotta say. That is loud

Just imagine all that chaos and energy for Penn St to have zero shot at winning a national championship. Its been 2 decades since they had a shot at a NC, 3 since they even got close to one (if there had been a playoff then they probably would have won) and 4 since they actually won one. College football fans really are crazy which is probably what makes it far more interesting than anything pro.
