Now that the game is over... anyone else think some of the holding calls were a little ticky-tack and see others that they missed that were kind of blatant..and not just against OSU... but both ways??? I didn't want to sound like spoiled grapes when OSU was losing, but I noticed it in the first half a lot and more so to OSU's detriment, but I was more focused on them at that point as well. I tried to start watching it both ways in the second half and it seemed we had not the best reffing crew in the B1G. Holding penalties could be called on almost every play, which would make a joke of the game. An unofficial official concept is try to only call holding penalties when they affect the out come of plays. There was a day when O-linemen couldn't even touch a defensive player with an open hand OR with arms extended. Now they actually allow O-linemen to grab the front of the jersey of a defensive player as long as they release the grasp when the D-player tries to move away from or go around the offensive player. Players are bigger, faster AND smarter about stretching the rules and knowing what they can get away with. Maybe there should be 2 more officials on the field to look for holding, so the games would be 5 hours long? BTW, last year when Warriner was O-line coach, Ohio State only had 2 holding penalties for the YEAR!

That fumble rule has to be the dumbest rule ever made in NCAA history... you keep a fumble because your touched the ball with your toe because your out... cost us 7 points.. NO, the play is to be blown dead when a fumbled ball is touched by a player that has any part of his body out of bounds. The last team with possession when this occurs gets the ball. The same applies if an Ohio State player had recovered an untouched fumble, thus gained possession, then fumbled the ball with a part of their body out of bounds. Ohio State would be ruled to given possession of the ball even if it was recoverd by a Wisconsin player. BTW, the rule wasn't just made, it's been the same for decades if not for ever. The issue is, with instant replay, NOW review of plays. EVERYTHING is seen, caught and the correct calls are made.

Urban keeps promising to begin utilizing his TE's more often in his offensive schemes, but it isn't happening. Wisconsin was bring their LB's frequently all evening, especially TJ Watts. There should have been opportunities for Berry, Baugh or Alexander to capitalize on this void. Hitting the TE over the middle a few times would make the opposing defense to play more honest and less inclined to bring pressure and expose the middle.

Interesting to find out that there was a storm bearing down on Madison during the first OT last night and it struck soon after the game ended. Had the game gone to OT2 it very likely would have gone into a lightning delay.
Ohio State is now 9-2 all time in overtime games, and this is the 7th time an OSU OT win was sealed by the defense getting a 4th down stop. The other 2 OT wins were sealed by a made FG (Iowa 2009) and an opponent's missed FG (Purdue 2003.) So Ohio State has never sealed an OT win with a "walkoff" TD (although both overtime losses were walkoff TD's by the opponent)
Also, a close game at Camp Randall should have been expected. Here's a look back at the games OSU has played there in this century:
2016: W 30-23 (OT) 2012: W 21-14 (OT) - win #11 in the 12-0 season 2010: L 18-31 - only loss of that season, OSU entered ranked #1 2008: W 20-17 - Pryor lead a late TD drive to win the game 2003: L 10-17 - ended OSU's 19 game winning streak 2002: W 19-14 - one of the many close wins in that magical season

There ya go, "Wisconsin was bring[sic] their LB's[sic] all evening". When that's happening with frequency, the best counter is to keep the TE in to help the O-line pass protect.

That's what we get when we forget to proof read what we type... I agree that TE's play a major role as blockers, but it could also be opportunity missed. J.T. has an experienced eye to read and pick up on the blitz and make the defense pay. The point I was making; burn them for their aggressiveness a few times, puts them in a position of reluctance. How many TE crossing patterns or screens did we see in those situations? I think the answer may be they don't want to risk a tipped pass over the middle, choosing to play it straight up and safe in that Camp-Randle environment.
