Depends on how it happens.
If, for example, the Buckeyes were up by only 3 points with 3 minutes left in the game, and the Irish had possession and were driving, but then had an unlucky turnover returned for a TD... and then, after the ensuing kickoff, on the Irish next drive, a fumble on their own 3 or 4 yard line, recovered by the Bckeyes and the Buckeyes could just kneel the ball and end the game, but instead decide to use all of their starters to drive in another TD with a few seconds left to make the score look worse...
...then no, I wouldn't call that a chasm.
