Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I know osu fans won’t want to hear this, but there was two blatantly awful calls that shortly after resulted in two osu touchdowns. The fact that interception wasn’t reviewed is crazy and just about all of society outside of Ohio agrees it should have been an interception. Secondly, Oregon was driving, had a 3rd down in OSU territory and there was a blatantly defensive holding which then had a pass interference on the pass. 2-3 plays later after it resulted in osu ball, Henderson ripped that massive 50+ yard run which then lead to a td. Can’t take away his runs, but ball shouldn’t have been in his hands yet. Yes, bad calls always happen, but these were blatantly terrible and lead to 14 of the 31 points almost immediately after.

Refs not exactly friendly to the Bucks down the stretch. 

Gotta love homer boards I peruse them for some insight/info but the rational fans are drowned out by the delusional ones and even down voted into oblivion by them. The nutters stating absolutes like predictions vs the Ducks but they are the quacks about half those posting had tOSU winning by 14-24 pts last nite.
Like some of these beauties below

"All this article says is that my prediction of 42-17 win for the Buckeyes is apropos"

"42-3,It’s gonna be a bloodbath"

"We spank these wannabe boys. I guarantee it. Oregano is not a top 25 team and I show it right here. Go buck - 49-13. How you like those apples"
OSU 38-16,OSU 38-10,Buckeyes 35-7 and so forth

I really like this one:

"34 - 20 Buckeyes. I think Oregon's back 7 is far less capable than its front 7. Consequently, I see the Buckeyes passing more at first to get a lead than running to control the clock and game"

Now maybe it's me but I didn't know Oregon was trotting out 14 guys on defense and if so why didn't the refs catch any of this? Of course when I go over there and post "well this thread didn't age well" the knives will be out and they'll carve me up,but what the hell they started it

Upon review that was a very bad call against Jeremiah Smith with 26 seconds left. The problem being the ball was not in the air at that instant so there can't be pass interference - home cooking. I stopped the video at that point and contact was originated by the DB and followed thru by Smith but the ball clearly wasn't in the air.

Ah....Oregon must have adopted Tennessee's vaunted 5-4-5 defense, circa 2010.  That escaped my notice so far, but let me tell you, it's a hell of a formation to run against.  

Meh.  I can’t bitch about the calls or breaks.  They went both ways.  

Ohio State had the ball 1st and 10 at the Oregon 28 with a timeout and 42 seconds left- WELL within their trusted FG range.  

Oregon just made a few more plays than OSU did.  

It is not that big of a deal.  Going on the road against a great team, with an NFL back, WRs, TE and a very talented 6th year QB, in one of the most hostile environments in CFB- was always going to be a big ask.  They just game up a few second short.  That’s CFB.

I agree the refs made several bad calls going both ways. The sting though, is when those calls happen at the end, the team who the call goes against doesn't get the chance to overcome the bad call. 

I liked the pass call until it became a home-cooked ref call against the Bucks.

Also, the 12 men on the field call that left the clock running was frustrating. It felt like the refs fingers where too involved in the end of the game, leading to IMHO the players not deciding the outcome. 

Kirby Smart chucked a guy way harder than Jeremiah Smith did
