@southern-psu-fan   I have to question the interception in the end zone and the overturned fumble recovery.   

Prior to the interception, the Ohio State defensive back grabbed and held the receiver which caused the receiver to push off.  Should that have been called defensive pass interference?  Should that have been offsetting penalties?   Did the refs ignore the rules?  If so, is that a clear indication that one team gets an advantage when rules are ignored?  If rules can be ignored by the officials, why do the rules exist?

 

For the fumble recovery, it appears that the offensive player tucked the ball and then was hit.  The collision caused the dislodgement of the tucked ball and Penn State made a clear recovery. 

 

There is a possible coaching point during the fumble return. The Penn State player had an escort but an Ohio State player was able to get to him.  Did the escorts miss a block or was the Ohio State player positioned perfectly?  It would have been difficult, but the Penn State player did not attempt to pitch the ball to a teammate.  Maybe there is a chance to teach the players how to work together more effectively and to be more dynamic.
