Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

The Pittsburgh Panthers have been giving Penn State all it can handle this Saturday, and the offense was set to put points on the board in the fourth quarter. Following a tremendous drive to get down to the Penn State 1-yard line, kicker Alex Kessman blew it with an awful shank.

Yanking his kick wide left, Kessman and the Panthers watched in horror as the ball clanked off the left upright, dooming an otherwise awesome drive.

Just a brutal doink.

Head coach Pat Narduzzi may be kicking himself after going for three instead of the tie there on fourth down.
