(144 posts)OSU had a ton of help from the referees. Eventually announcers were like, WTF?
It's hard to beat the opposing team AND the refs.

(4,377 posts)We usually get the short stick.
It's to the financial benefit of the Big10, NCAA, sponsors, etc... for OSU to win.
To be fair, when Michigan was 11-0, 12-0, it was to the same benefit for them to win. It's all about $$$ and who stands to get it. This year it's OSU.

(144 posts)How that "headbutt" and not being ejected impacted the rest of the game. Not at all.
Several calls leading to SCORES for OSU IMPACTED the game.
'Nuff said.

(16,417 posts)How about being dominated in the time of possession 40 plus minutes vs. 19 ? or total yards Ohio State 419- Michigan 163. No score for UM the entire 2nd half and gained a whopping -9 yards rushing. I suppose the refs did that too.

This Ohio State team has 2 more goals win the big ten title game and repeat as National Champs.

(8,397 posts)you were clearly better than after losing to that same team 4 straight times despite being the better team every time. No wonder Ohio State fans are always ranked in the top 5 of most insufferable fans.

(76,023 posts)Something like negative 9 yards rushing in the second half for the U of M.
The last drive by the MIGHTY OHIO STATE BUCKEYES took 12 minutes and had 20 plays.

(6,352 posts)Well-deserved win by OSU, and Day showed a ton of class in the postgame.
And I couldn't but laugh at Brutus crossing out the M in the end zone.
It was their day, and a long time coming. Maybe it's a different game if the early field goals were TDs, if Marshall doesn't get hurt, if that 2nd quarter TD gets ruled a touchback... But the entire second half was no contest. The score was a fair reflection of the game.

Day said that getting the victory should be done with humility, he would not get involved in
name calling, and the fighting belonged on the field.
