There was no first down, that's why the officials rushed out to make up that half yard for them.

My children were also present, we all screamed our lungs out together because it was so obvious that our Defense had executed and delivered....but the OSU judges rushed in to abuse thier positions as impartial refs and complete the fix of the game.  

OSU fans are uneasy about this win. For good reason.  Meyer is noticeably unnerved by Harbaugh, that's why the dumb fake attempt that led to our TD.  That's why he is high fiving refs and the refs are patting his players on the ass, without some serious help Meyer is outcoached by Harbaugh and he knows it, his fan base knows it.

Welcome to A2 next year, Buckeyes.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm begging, BEGGING, for a rematch with those guys if we are fortunate enough to somehow sneak into the playoff.

Get those guys on a neutral field with OOC refs with an angrier, even more pissed off team, and I think we take them down. Barrett would be sacked at least 10 times that night.

He might be an idiot, but more likely he's going with his homegrown bias and the hometown crowd.  Analyzing Sagers is kind of a waste of time.  

My question is why was he allowed to officate this game... is Delaney that ready to throw credibility and professionalism out the window?  Because of the money?

The shot posted above is from at least a tenth of a second after Barret started falling backward. Here is a GIF from the point of actual most forward progress to the point shown in the shot above. You can see Barret and ball have moved backward from the farthest point forward.

a better replay image.

But the spot was just a guess and was wrong.

Preacher Mike's GIF does not at all contradict the photo in the OP.

The GIF is from a bad angle. 

Ball is no more forward in the GIF than in the OP photo. In the GIF Barrett is not being pushed backward from a forward most point.  He is sliding vertically down 88's butt and leg.  88 is lurching forward.  The ball sliding down 88's butt is 88 lurching foward, not Barrett falling backward.

At any rate, the line judge cannot see exactly where the ball is at the crucial moment.  The call was a guess. 

After the play they placed the center of the ball on the center of the 15 yard line.  Whatever the GIF shows, no way that the ball advanced that far.  Line judge did not see where the ball was, made a guess, and guessed wrong. 

No way to overturn it.  But it was a bad spot.
