Anyone watching this non-sense? Obviously wasn't going to go well for PSU as OSU is a much better team and I don't expect it to be close. But the refs spot OSU the ball on the 39 going in after a completely failed call on an INT that clearly wasn't and it wasn't able to be reviewed because "the truck couldn't get the feed." ... ? Then a clear miss on a delay of game by a solid 2-3 seconds that gives a weak legged OSU kicker a nearly missed FG?

Is this shit rigged?

Buckeye fan here and the refs totally blew both calls.

The replay was a technical issue though. The delay of game was referee suckage.

I'm actually surprised how close the game is currently. Should have been a complete blowout (still may be); but honestly should be 7 (maybe 10) to 7 at this point. Really unfortunate to have so much of this game in the hands of the refs, even assuming it would have been a loss from the outset.

Buckeye here. Yep, bad calls.
He may not have a monster leg, but I wouldn't call Nuernberger weak-legged. PSU punters, on the other hand... :)

This is one of those games where the refs look like they have to be on Ohio State payroll.

I would have expected Ohio State to win, but do so legitimately and handily. This is a bit surprising.

Even if they win, Ohio State deserves to get hammered in the polls after this game.

It looked that way at first, but in the 4Q it started looking to be the other way around.

After spotting OSU 7-10 points I'm not sure the 4th quarter maybe PI maybe not makes up for it. :p

Now certainly, those two bad calls voided (the fail pick, and the non-delay) don't mean PSU would have won it there, likely not, but it would have been a very real possibility. Really sad to see a big underdog hurt like that.
