Im not talking expressly this game, Im talking every game possible. Build a reputation of scoring as much as possible. I know we arent talking a couple, a few, or even many. At this point its several, as a coach I deal with poor officiating every week in both football and wrestling. The problem is, no official ever gets reprimanded for his actions, they cannot be wrong and if they are no one can say anything or youre fined, suspended and youll get even worse calls against you

No competent official misses that, period.
November 25th, 2017 at 5:28 PM ^
And that's what generally happens.
If it were mere incompetence, that would be one thing. Outright corruption is quite another.
And that is what we are dealing with. Hence the impossible disparity in calls from season to season.
November 25th, 2017 at 5:40 PM ^
A official who is not completely incompetent sees that, which leaves only the possibility they saw it but still didn't call it
November 25th, 2017 at 6:17 PM ^
That's just comically bad. That wasn't just a hold. He damn near had Hurst in a Kimura lock.
I get that holding is somewhat subjective, but if it's that bad? Give me a break.
November 25th, 2017 at 4:14 PM ^
Think we need to consult their Oline coach. Somehow he has molded a line who has never held in a game against us. We need to figure out his magic formula. Truly wondrous.
November 25th, 2017 at 4:16 PM ^
We should consult any o-line coach in the b10...they all play perfectly against us.
November 25th, 2017 at 4:16 PM ^
I actually wonder if there's something to the speed of OSU's offense vs ours. They play so fast, I wonder if it's harder to see those holding calls. On the flip side, our attack is traditional and slower developing. I wonder if it's harder for refs to see it because I think OSU went like 2 years without a holding penalty
November 25th, 2017 at 4:22 PM ^
November 25th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
That is true for running plays, but not for the passing plays. All of our gripes on non calls are on the passing plays. Look at the holding call made on Cole that was declined as proof...that happened at least a half dozen times uncalled the other way.

I think over the course of the last 5 years, Ohio State is at the bottom, or near the bottom of all FBS teams in holding penalties. Like it or not, holding is a super subjective call because otherwise it can almost literally be called on every single play.
I have heard rumors that Urban has people on his staff that analyze officiating tendencies (i.e. what is the average amount of time a O-lineman can commit a hold before a ref will call it, what hand positions will be most noticable, and etc), and he coaches the O-Line based on that data.

o'korn and the defense lost this game. o'korn missed a ton of wide open guys on good play calls and the defense let a backup qb beat them. the metellus drop of an easy int was not because of the refs. osu is a better team and is much better coached
November 25th, 2017 at 4:21 PM ^
November 25th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
that's a pretty significant penalty, especially if their team isn't being called. It's not about sour grapes - mostly - but why in the world are they not getting called for it? It would be good to know, maybe we can learn something from them.

Please watch that video somebody posted in this thread, and tell me with a straight face there were as obvious or impactful ones as that one that weren't called. Turned a long field goal attempt into a TD, that was a momental no call on a play that is textbook holding and as egregious as holds get.

on Barrett's first touchdown, winovich was held by the true freshman. That freshman managed to securely edge out winovich??? No, he tackled him and Barrett waltzed into the endzone.
Stop with your magnanimous bullshit It's overrated.
November 25th, 2017 at 5:18 PM ^
Two and a half games worth? This is year 2 that no holding was called.
November 25th, 2017 at 4:18 PM ^
November 25th, 2017 at 4:50 PM ^
He also got tackled on the fumbled snap. Referees were following the ball and missed it. He was clear around the tackle and likely wouldve been in position to impact the play.
November 25th, 2017 at 5:08 PM ^
around the neck from behind, half a step from a sack
November 25th, 2017 at 4:18 PM ^
I'm pretty sure 0 were called. Which is a fucking screw job. Correct me if I'm wrong.

were both on terrible officiating. When you are down 4 with 2 minutes to go and 2 of your opposnent's TD drives were continued with obvious terrible calls, can we agree that it was a factor?
November 25th, 2017 at 4:26 PM ^
The Big Ten and the NCAA would shit a brick of OSU did not make it into the playoff. OSU is the big ticket darling of the Midwest (along with perhaps ND). There is no way that they would let OSU lose another game and get eliminated.
Poor Wiscy is going to get totally shafted next weekend. Wiscy in the playoff would be a nightmare for the Big Ten and the NCAA. Way too boring. Boring coach. Boring offense. Boring defense. No following outside of Wisconsin. I have a feeling it will be a close game and it will turn on the officiating. Book it now - OSU is in the playoff.
November 25th, 2017 at 4:34 PM ^
Do not forget the holding call on Cole when the DL was going to the ground and he simply fell on him. That is rule #1 for an OL in pass protect.
Really sad when the TV announcers are calling penalties that were missed and there were at least 3-5 on OSU that were missed. Not saying that would have made a difference but it is all about when the breaks happen.

that true freshman is world beater. He perfectly contained one of our sack leaders so that the qb can scramble over 20 yards untouched for a touchdown. /s
