We made too many mistakes to expect a win. Hoover missed his receivers all day.

Also, that RTP would have been a BS way for OSU to lose.

We could say the same thing about Sayin.  It was honestly terrible QB play for most of the game and it would have been awesome to see how it would go if both looked consistently competent.

I think both QBs were overthinking, too hyped, whatever, to start the game. I think they both calmed down, found the game, and the coaches made adjustments. Then, both got hurt. Sucks, still a great game.

I felt like I was watching Thursday Night football for two thirds of the game.

100%, sayin is the same Donarld. Keep giving the ball away and cannot read defense, taking bad sacks after bad sacks after bad sacks

Honestly made me nostalgic for old school big ten football… terrible qb play, good defense, and abhorrent officiating lol

It looked like grounding on that play too, unless I missed something? Broadcast didn’t even mention it.

Without looking back, from memory, the white hat was busy throwing the hold and it looked like the QB was to the right of the ref aka outside of the tackle box, no intentional grounding.

I could be wrong though, I don't have the play in front of me.

I really thought he was in the tackle box, but yeah it’s totally possible he rolled out of it. The broadcast showing why it wasn’t called would’ve been nice.

Yeah. If Indiana makes one of those missed field goals. This game is a different story

Ohio State dropped one INT and the other hit the safety directly in the face lol. There's tons of "what ifs" every big game.

While I agree it wasn’t roughing the passer, it still got called. If Marsh would have gotten his foot down, the missed hold on 5 is what would have bothered me. The OT rode him all the way to the QB. When there was no celebration after the catch, I was convinced that the television broadcast just had not put the flag graphic up.

I don’t have a good answer for you to be honest.

I hate the officiating of the hold call in CFB and NFL. It’s almost always a judgment call and gives the refs way too much influence.

I'm completely neutral and was screaming "come on bro" at the overthrows, embarrassing

Don’t watch OU you’ll have an aneurysm

Just an observation, why didn't they go to the run at the end ? Very predictable offensive plays.

I think OSU was loading the box because they wanted Hoover to beat them. Cignetti and Shanahan typically trust/expect their players to make the plays in situations.
