October 23, 20169 yr Was that a good no call on OSU's last possession? Receiver is running under the ball down the field and DB is trailing, reaches out and pulls down the receiver's arm before the ball gets there? It is hard to catch a ball with one arm being held, but announcers didn't make much of it. Not even Herbstreit. If it was a penalty, what would have been the result? Where is the ball placed? I saw that and agree with you on the obvious PI, I didn't mention only bc I didn't want to seem as blaming officials for a loss, especially after all the plays OSU didn't make. As for Herbstrreit, he is one of the best and imo he didn't want to seem as a homer of an analyst, with him being a former OSU player. jmo

He says that by definition it is PI. But defenders are being taught to play it this way because it is so hard to catch without slowing it down.
October 24, 20169 yr It's a shame that what he was involved with tarnishes what he accomplished on the field, which will remain that way for MANY. Should have elaborated further, meant that it was far more of a shame regarding what he was involved with. He should be looked at much differently than he was.
October 24, 20169 yr Should have elaborated further, meant that it was far more of a shame regarding what he was involved with. He should be looked at much differently than he was. I wasn't in Happy Valley, but I follow a lot of Ohio State accounts on twitter and people walking around the tailgates were taking pictures of signs talking about Joe Pa and people wearing shirts with his name on them and apparently people up there are still vying for his ignorance on what was going on. Its a shame. It makes the loss to them hurt that much worse for me because their fans don't deserve it.
October 24, 20169 yr Only thing that came to mind when I saw this score was 49-10....Ima leave that right there and exit stage left.

October 24, 20169 yr Why are none of you giving PSU any credit? I posted that they outplayed OSU in every way. PSU did play one helluva game, OSU still imo gave it away but PSU played well. Edited October 24, 20169 yr by oldrambler
October 24, 20169 yr You're right, I posted before I had cooled down. PSU did play one helluva game, OSU still imo gave it away but PSU played well. I didn't get to watch the game because I was at the UK game but I do know that Happy Valley is an incredible venue when it's really hopping. And I'm sure it was nuts Saturday night.
October 24, 20169 yr I mean, look at that place and they are right on the field: [video=youtube;ly2wn-DL_nk]
October 24, 20169 yr It was a horrible no call but Ohio State should know better than to play down to the level of its competition.Exactly. They do that too much. I remember when they lost to Va Tech in the championship season ....hope that repeats itself.
October 24, 20169 yr Super young team, that's a tough road game. I didn't expect an undefeated season. This team is a year or two away. Also, Nick Bosa is going to be better than his brother Truthfully, I didn't either. OSU is the youngest team in America and as of right now I believe, have a top 2 or 3 class coming in next season if not the top class.
October 24, 20169 yr Truthfully, I didn't either. OSU is the youngest team in America and as of right now I believe, have a top 2 or 3 class coming in next season if not the top class. Oh it's the top class, on pace to be the highest rated by 247. In 2-3 years it'll be scary!
