Brits React to The Most Electric Moment In College Football History 

Brits always ask "Is this a special game?" Nope just ah Saturday in the fall.

Just say Penn State. This game is a special game every year at night called "The White Out" It's a night game, nationally televised and against a high ranked team usually in conference. A big game for them and one of the many traditions in college football... This is also a regular game on the schedule, not a championship or anything. THIS is how high level college football is EVERY weekend. Unlike any pro sport ANYWHERE around the world.

Michigan had to call a time out because the crowd was so loud they couldn't hear the call.... That's an advantage of having a loud crowd.

For context, this is the only time I’ve EVER seen a team need to call one of their 3 timeouts on the FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME. Timeouts are normally used to regroup, stop the clock, or change something in your team. They can be very precious toward the end of the half or the end of the game to manage time so they’re usually saved for later. Michigan were completely lost here and couldn’t hear a thought in their own head

It's called a WHITEOUT. Local television, radio, sports stations, and the school will all be advertising this game is a whiteout. Sometimes they will give you props such as towels or pom poms at the gate when you enter.

I loved white out games! We usually had a couple a year. Night games. This game against Michigan drew in about 110,000 people. The stadium should only hold 106,000. Lol. I think Michigan still has the largest stadium. I can't remember how many it holds.

Pennsylvania native here. People go MAD for penn state! I love it!

Haha. Ok. The lion king with master chief had me laughing.

You guys don't understand "school spirit". I graduated high school in 1966 and I still support my school's team. The stands include students alumni and fans.

The US is so large there are many states without an NFL Team. In general, the further away from a large city College ( Average age 18-21) & even High School (Average age 16-18) Football is life.

People who attend the football games are general fans, students of the college and alumni who have graduated. Penn State football team plays with Blue Jerseys for home games and white for away games. The years that are for undefeated championships they won those years

It's their White Out for a special game. PSU VS Michigan. You guys should checkout the Big Ten Stadiums.

I live here where Penn State is, and this place gets crazy on football weekends. The stadium holds over 100,000 people, and they go absolutely crazy.

I live less then 4 miles from Beaver Stadium and if the winds are right i can sit outside and hear the roar of the crowd on night games like this, and listen to the distant rumble of the fireworks every time Penn State scores.

It's funny when you brought up the other team because Michigan plays in a much larger stadium and it's called the Big House for a reason.

The "White Out" game doesn't require for Penn State fans to wear anything specific other than it has to be white. White t-shirt, white jersey, whatever it is..just make sure you wear white. Opposing team fans, if they have a ticket obviously don't wear white. That college stadium holds over 106,000 people.

We love our college football. It's how we spend our Saturdays.

That's always hilarious, they were fucking with Michigan big time LMAO That was just a normal Penn st/Michigan game, not a playoff game or anything. That's how we roll in the B1G

I don’t know if anyone told you but the away team always wears white in college football. Penn States players are wearing blue in this game despite the “White Out.”

The crowd gets loud (especially on 3rd downs) because they know they can effect the game. They disrupt the verbal communication between the QB and all 10 other offensive players. The play calls and adjustments get sent in to the QB by the coach on each play . If an offense doesn't convert on 3rd down they typically punt the ball away to the opponent on 4th down to push the other team far down the field. Instead of giving them a short field.

Record attendance for a college football game is 150,990, Tennessee vs Virginia Tech played 2016. It was regular season game. It was played at the Bristol Motor Speedway close to the city of Bristol which straddles the Virginia / Tenn state line.

Actually, it was really normal for a regular game in terms of attendance.

Penn State is call the White Out because ,this is where all the ( fans) spectators wear white for there home game!

Penn State also does a Stripe Out where they alternate sections of the stadium uniformly in team colors,blue and white. It's usually during the day though

This is just your average NCAA football weekend during the season!

FYI , Michigan's stadium is the 3rd largest in the world. Has seating for 107,000 but standing capacity can bring it up to 117,000. Think Penn and Tennessee are almost as big.

this is a regular season game. every game in college football is important if you want to make it to the playoffs

It is called a WHITE OUT and done for Night games against the Ohio State and Michigan. I am OREGON DUCK fan and they will be doing this for us also.This will be Oregon , USC, Washington and U.C.L.A.' first season as New Members in the BIG 10 Conference. The PAC-12 imploded.

These stadiums are THAT FULL... every single game.

You haven't been to a sports game until you go to a college football game, especially if it's a rivalry game

In their national championship years I do not think they did every home game as a white-out. I was a casual observer playing on another team back then so I had only passing knowledge.

The Dates on stadiums are Championships and there’s 3 stadiums that can really get in the head of opposing teams Penn St, LSU and Auburn.

This is coolege football and in all the stadiums around the country this is how it is.

Penn State "whiteout" Fans are asked to wear the white for these occasions. This is a regular game. Stadium holds officially holds 102,000 but has accommodated 110.000 The noise is airport level

I’m a Michigan fan and it’s even nerve racking watching it live it’s literally defining on the field. Crowds get so loud to the point where talking is impossible before plays so teams that are struggling with crowd noise will switch to hand signals to hike the ball instead of the qb saying anything. Crowd noise can affect a game in these ways usually: delay of game, false starts and frustrating communication errors, which will frustrate the hell out of the head coaches because those penalties are considered small league undisciplined mistakes but there’s nothing that they can do sometimes when crowd noise prevents any form of communication.

Michigan vs Ohio State, simply 'The Game' for over 100 years. The Ten Yea4s being the most famous.

Some games will have a theme Black out or White out etc would be pretty common. Where everbody wears a certain color I wouldnt say those are normal stadium sizes. But major schools generally have massive stadiums bigger than some of our Pro teams

Penn State’s stadium capacity is 106,574. It’s called Beaver Stadium. The façade below the luxury suites inside Penn State's Beaver Stadium honors only teams that have gone undefeated, won national championships or won conference championships.

Penn State Nittany Lions team colors are blue and white. Each team only plays about ½ dozen home games each year. It's not just students, but alumni will also help fill the stands, as well as regular fans. Penn State's Beaver Stadium is the second largest in the US, with over 106,500 seats.

This is Beaver stadium in State College Pennsylvania yes that is the name of the town. Capacity is a little over 106,000. This is known as the White Out and it is to sync out the other team. The team is known as Penn State.

When I watch this video, I can almost smell autumn.

The years that are on the sides represents their undefeated, conference championship and NATIONAL Championship years. Including 2012, in which was not a championship or a undefeated season but to recognize the team after what happened during the Sandusky Scandal and that the team was not allowed to be in bowl games (Almost the Death Penalty of the NCAA) that year but for the players that stayed at Penn State and did not transfer out of the University and Football team.

I believe Beaver Stadium (Penn State)is in the top 5 biggest stadiums in the world. The team they are playing Michigan is in the top 5 also.

Tennessee also puts together quite a stadium look with their crowd alertnating orange and white by section. Impressive if they didn't play that blasted "Rocky Top" song a few dozens times a night, accompanied by 100,000 vocalists

That was the middle of the regular season

The record attendance at Penn State's stadium is 110,889

Oh Michigan (in white) had their backs to the Penn States Student Sections which has been known to be the greatest Student Sections of College Football. The one reason is that THE NOISE THAT THEY Produce. When your an opposing QB trying to callouts, you will barley hear your self or your teammates.

College student body is a huge part of the hype feel at games

Attendance was likely somewhere between 102k and 107k, Penn State has the 3rd biggest stadium in the country

True 'Fans' that are able, will travel to see their teams. Whether it's home or away. . .

It's called a "Whiteout". It's usually a big game like when Penn State plays either Ohio State or Michigan.

Michigan Stadium (The Big House), Ohio Stadium (Ohio State) and Beaver Stadium (Penn State) are the 3 biggest stadiums in the country and the most toughest stadiums in College Football. Including Texas Tech (which is not part of the Big 10 conference)

This stadium holds almost 120k and this was just a regular season game

Just a regular season game against a big rival. I think there were 107,000+ there for this one and so loud that Michigan could not hear their quarterback call out signals to start the play--so they had to call a timeout (to avoid a "delay of game" penalty) before any plays were called--unheard of.

This is just a regular Saturday game. College football is bigger than the NFL. College stadiums are larger than the NFL stadiums. This is Penn State, this is one of their "white out" games. The Pittsburgh Steelers & the Philadelphia Eagles are the NFL teams in PA, but Penn State is more popular. PSU..

This is a normal game, the dates are national championships. You should see the Big House at the U of Michigan, 107,000 + screaming fans.

Even with our team Fresno State, we'll have whiteout games where everybody wears white or blackout games too where everybody wears black. It just depends on the night whatever they set it for

It’s around 110k and this isn’t a cup final, just a local derby vs two schools

Center couldn't hear quarterback to hike ball an time delay five yard loss. This is a regular game Michigan vs Penn st. A rival game. These colleges passed out to students get first bib on tickets. So a college that has sixty thousand students they can sell tickets to these games.

The numbers are the years of those teams.

0:52 - That's not yellow, that's Off-White.

No that is a regular game. 106,000 fans there. The town its in is only 45,000 people. That's how big college football is. And the visiting team isn't intimidated. Their home stadium is even bigger.

Ah yes, the whiteout. Legendary games especially if you get to be in the student section. Nothing like it

If you see the "16" next to Michigan and the "7' next to Penn State, that's their national ranking. Both are big-time football universities so this an important game for keeping ranking. Hence like the others said it's a "WHITEOUT" game because a lot is at stake and it is a big opponent they are playing.

Ahhh the famous WHITE OUT games of PSU. Michigan (GO BLUE! 💛💙) is the team they were playing in the video and yes the sound in that stadium is absolutely insane...Time Outs were taken because Michigan just couldn't hear the plays being called.

These are team colors probably. In baseball "White" version of the team uniform is for Home Games "Grey/Dark) is for away games.

"Great uniform, bad helmet...."

The time outs are because the team can't hear the Quarterback due to the noise.........happens here at LSU too!

Brits sing songs at Prem games, while Americans scream their lungs out.

It's a white out game at Penn State.. they do one every year. It's an event you have to experience. We Are... Penn State. Michigan has the largest stadium and Penn State is second with I believe holding 105 thousand fans.

Crazy part is almost every smaller state has a huge team and sometimes 2 or more. Some states are more pro centric (New York …biggest team is Syracuse which is meh (they are huge in basketball) but then Mississippi has (ole miss and miss state…huge teams )

Michigan is consistently one of the topteams in the country and won the national championhsip last year. Penn State has won several National Championships. If you look lcosely at the scoreboard for this game, Michigan was #16 and Penn State was # 7, that means both were competing to get into the top 4 for the national title play off.

As a former player, I loved big games on the opposing team's field. It was a chance to make the crowd go silent. That was our goal. To beat the other teamsso badly the hype was elimnated and all that was left was disappointment for their home fans. becaseu we knew next year theyw ere coming to OUR field and that meant a chance to make it two in a row. That is the killer instinct players play with. At the end of the day, home field advantage is worth apporximately 3 to 4 point per game on average. Scoring first as the visiting team puts that advantage to rest.

Those dates on the stands likely represent championships. Those might be conference or national. This game is Michigan Wolverines at Penn State Nittany Lions. It's a regular season game. Penn State's stadium holds more than 100,000 people. D1-FBS normally gets 6 home games per year, 7 if they host a Conference Championship. Some conferences play Conference Championship games at neutral stadiums, some don't. The playoffs expand this year from 4 teams to 12 teams for D1-FBS. NFL players are more talented than College Football players, but College Football is the original.

It’s called the white out game everyone wears white weather they bring themselves like that or the stadium will provide white shirts. And it usually exceeds the capacity of the stadium which is usually 107k on the white out week can reach 110k-113k

Just a regular season game lol

This isn’t soccer and some cup ?!?! This is every game at Penn State

They had to call time out because you have to call the plays and it's so loud. The other players can't hear it. I know some teams they focus on gestures whether it's clapping the hands or stuff like that or even hand signals in general when stadiums are too loud to hear play calls when the quarterbacks are calling it

Interacting with your subscribers by replying to their comments will take your channel to another height. It's why they comment.

The years at the top of the stadium are for undefeated seasons, national championships, and Rose Bowls. If you guys want a real football history lesson look up the Rose Bowl

The Michigan team is not nervous. They are experienced and have more championships than Penn State. Michigan is not easily intimidated.

College football teams only play about 12 games per season so you only get 6 games a year at home (for the most part). Generally, half your games will be against weaker schools. When you play another ranked school(top 25), those are a big deal. Some years, a single loss can keep you out of the playoffs. Also, the college football season is short. It is basically September, October and November. There might be one game in December but most of the month is finals and holidays for the students. The bowl games begin in December but the big ones happen on New Years days. Most bowl games are just a reward for schools that did good enough and a chance for the seniors on those teams to play one last game since most will never play the sport again.

For clairification the home team always wears the dark jerseys.

You think college is crazy,check out highschool football in the South,we live and die with it

Look for sevilla anthem before a Match, so good

Honestly I think that the only difference in the college football and almost any other professional sport worldwide is average age of the people at the game. The passion for sports is universal worldwide, but the energy to exercise that passion is perhaps greater in younger people. College sports is also a celebration of the hopes and potential of young players, vs the proven experience and skill of professionals. Some of the college guys are barely 18 years old and not many of them are over 22 or 23. Very young people. ♥

This is just a regular season game. Not a championship game.

I'm sure it's been explained, but the Michigan offense can't hear, so had to call timeout

Dates = National Championships

The atmosphere in college games is far different from NFL games.

You should react to army vs navy intros throughout the years.

Just a weekly game it's called white out

1:40 - The 'dates' (years) embossed around the stadium indicate the seasons Penn State went undefeated, won a national championship, or (starting with the 1990 season) won a conference championship. They are currently in the Big 10 (which now has 16 teams).

If you want to know what happened... The crowd was so loud that Michigan couldn't hear the snap count...the coach called a timeout because of that. This is a normal primetime home game at Penn State during their annual "Whiteout" game. This a regular season conference game. EDIT: Michigan would adapt and change things up, but would end up losing 28-21

This is a normal COLLEGE game for American football… lol this is why we’re not the best in the world at “football” I love when other countries flex about how much better they are at soccer when that sport gets our 4th, 5th best athletes.

Think it's just white out Saturday .. tshirts pompoms for everyone. I think it's once maybe twice a year

As a West Coaster, I would say East Coasters are much more passionate about their sports Teams. Don't even get me started on The South!

Any game its called a white out.

U of M is an amazing team!! GO BLUE!!

It’s a regular season game bro!
