[Buckeyebred97]

That makes up for not calling the TD 1st Quarter

 

[buckeyes_rock]

LOLZ.

Wow...

 

[lowbuck]

Wtf omg can't believe they let us have that. Must be payback for that 6 pts they screwed us on.

 

[Onebuckfan]

BWI in a panic

 

[BUCKDUBBS007]

Payback for the TD not called

 

[Drubuck]

Huh

Suck a bag of ducks Illinois. Cry to me when you have 7 points taken away.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

These refs... Lol

 

[Coqui]

Finally bad officiating goes Ohio State's way.

 

[buckeyebri]

We can never ever recover our own fumble, meanwhile the opposing team 100% does.

We drop numerous interceptions too...

 

[Hstead]

Poor officiating today

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Hah. Fucking B1G officials are a goddamn joke.

My wife suggests that the refs suspended from the ACC may be moonlighting up here.

What the hell is Illinois doing every play with the ball? What are our guys doing, not playing through the whistles? Out of character, imo

At some point, if a bunch of guys gang up on you and try to strip the ball, it *will* come out.

That's why a lot of coaches recommend going to the ground/not fighting for too many more yards after final contact.
Our guys play for 3 seconds after the whistle and fight for every yard, which is why we get great YAC, but also why we have such a high rate of fumbles (ie Jalin Marshall in the Oregon game). Just my hypothesis.

Whoops
