Yeah the PI call in the 4th and the no call in OT specifically. 

I've been on the other end of so many games where I blamed officiating that it's nice to be on the other end of it for a change. I don't necessarily agree with those blaming the officiating, but I'm fine with listening/reading it since my team got the W.

I did think the PI was highly questionable, but the 4th and 1 was so close that anybody saying he didn't get it was just hoping. You can't say for sure either way. I thought he got it due to forward progress and where he had the ball positioned on his chest. But it certainly could have been spotted just short on a judgement call. That's where luck always comes in to play. Many games over the years have been decided by the spot of the ball. In the end, tOSU had the balls to go for it in that situation and got close enough to make it a 50/50 call. If they had spotted it short, the replay wouldn't have overturned it because -- again -- it was so very close. No way they overturn either result.

The play preceding it was actually the play of the game IMO because if Curtis Samuel doesn't turn that busted play into 9 yards, the Buckeyes never go for it on 4th and would have had to settle for a FG attempt that was no gimme considering the day Durbin was having.
