Getting every call right on the field is nearly impossible. The wave of blown calls that were deciding the eventual outcome of the game compelled football to adopt instant replay.
Since then, booth reviews and coaches challenges have been invaluable to making the right call.
But the controversy remains. Depending on how the rest of this game goes, the Ohio State Buckeyes might feel like they had the rug pulled out from under them.
Trace McSorely aired out a 37-yard pass that appeared to be intercepted by Ohio State Buckeyes defensive back Denzel Ward. He and Penn State wide receiver DeAndre Tompkins battled all the way to the ground.
The play was called an interception on the field, but after further review, was overturned and ruled a touchdown.
