The refs were conferring over intentional grounding. Weren’t there receivers in the area? Would that have been a legit call?

You can complain about the calls, but this game is on the offense.
Penalties made a 7 point swing. I guess the Beau Pribula thing was all smoke and mirrors.
it has nothing to do with whether the QB was a runner. His forward progress had been stopped, and the whistles were blowing. After the QB was driven backwards, Kobe King threw him down. That's why it was an "after the play" PF.
Tom your comment makes sense i wish other posters could see it that way.

you want to quibble on that? He threw him down, or pushed him down. That's football 101 -- when the play is whistled dead, you don't do that or you get flagged every time.

The replay clearly showed he let go of him. There was no push. No throw. His arms went backwards. Not forwards. Bad call.

Nick starts moving the ball ➡️ Yurcich forces the pass
Back to back chunk yardage plays to wide open TEs ➡️ Yurcich abandons that in favor of forcing the run

Dude can’t get out of his own way.

well, I watched the same replay, and felt that it clearly showed him pushing/throwing the QB down, and then raising his hands like "I didn't do anything." I'm done with this argument

Once again, this is why Franklin will never win these games.

3rd and 1? Throw.
3rd and 5? Run.
Driving well? Trick plays we only ever bring out against OSU and NEVER work.

They over think it every time in these games and fail.

As often happens, the ref conspiracy BS is pathetic.

I would never wish anything good for any of the b1g refs, but in all fairness, klatt said that the ref who called the defensive holding couldn’t see the sack-fumble all the way upfield. Then again, maybe klatt’s in on it. 🤔

“They need to find some sort of rhythm”

I’m not convinced our offensive coordinator is capable of doing that.

Or he’s just not that smart.

The B1G "scripts" their preferred season outcomes. They wanted O$U and scUM in the Final Four, but Hairball's cheating has altered their plans.

O$U beats PSU.
PSU barely beats scUM
O$U beats scUM.
O$U to Final Four.
PSU and scUM for some meaningless Jan 1st bowl.

PSU with a punt, and tOSU takes over on their 12 (or thereabout) with 0:42 left in the half

Problem is that UM is going to pound OSU. UM is just too physical.

Wow. Day absolutely white flagging it out there. Maybe saw one too many cute plays that led to turnovers/scores recently….

And it's not his job to see that sack-fumble situation. The hold happened just before the sack so he's gotta flag it. The lesson for Kalen is to stop holding but apparently, that's the only thing that might stop Harrison today.

Yep, they would pick up the flag and say no penalty.
So what was the big discussion about

I'm not listening to the TV broadcast so I don't know if the announcers talked about that. But what was the reason for the protracted discussion amongst the officials? If it was a hold, it was a hold. Why the discussion?

I hope Franklin has just informed Pribula that he will be starting the second half.
