and I can't keep up. I don't want anyone to think I didn't want to reply to them about the game.
To recap and give my final thoughts on the game we have all waited on for so long.
As I've said from the start, the pups won fair and square. No excuses. OSU had their chances to end it and missed the FG. As far as the targeting, it could have been called either way and both have legitimate arguments. Joel Klatt explained it well. I said from the start, I'm glad they took the targeting away as I hate it. Again, as I said the night of the game if you go back and look, I'm glad it was overturned.
As far as the out of bounds call. I have changed my stance after further review of the rules. They rule does state its where the ball crosses the line if the carrier is airborne. But since his hand was on the ground in bounds, he was not airborne so that means the ball should be spotted where he reached it forward. The question now is, after his hand and foot came off the ground, he is now airborne so where was the ball at that point? I don't think anyone can definitively say but he may very well have got the line to gain.
It was a fantastic game and I'm proud of my Buckeyes and the way Day called the game.
Again, congrats and the pups are very deserving of the win!!!!
