I am proud to say we are not among the media outlets here constantly giving cover to OSU.

I have always said, the only thing dumber than a football player is a football coach. Witness Exhibit A. --
And lets not forget this ... that rule was administered with the basic understanding of all sports ... you can't 'win' on a penalty without giving the opposition at least one more chance. Therefore .. the untimed down.
And while this 'I'm a man, I'm 40' coach has proven he still hasn't grown up ... let's ask the question why didn't HE know the rule and call the officials on it on the field.???
Better believe, had the table been turned, he would have demanded an untimed down himself. ...
The officials (Big Ten by the way, not MAC) and replay booth took their penalty with honor, knowing they had already done the honorable thing.
And by the way, check that rule book in 2017. It will reflect the fact that what they did ... when the rule was wrong ... is lead the NCAA to make it right.
So here's hoping this highly intellectual football coach calls the same play once again next season ... to see if he has learned his lesson.
Or at least read the rule book himself.
