Can someone explain to me how the ref's ruled that touchdown when everyone could clearly see the guy's knees were down? I saw the same reply everyone else did, but I'm just not seeing it.
Yeah, yeah, I know, you're going to say something like I'm a sore looser - I get it. But really though, how was that a touchdown?

Not that it matters at this point, I'm just wondering what they saw that we didn't.

You may have a good argument there. However the Ginn touchdown could have been called back. If you get a chance to see the game again watch the hold by number 8 of OSU that wasn't called. He had a handful of jersey.

There has to be enough evidence to overturn the calls on the field. I thought exactly the same as you. It looked like his knees touched the ground while the ball was at the half yard line. But with the angles they were showing it wasn't as obvious, in some angles it looked like the ball broke the plane of the end zone. So the refs just decided to leave the call on the field. Also it wasn't worth it for the Buckeyes to challenge, because the TD was imminent from the half a yard line.

On the opening kickoff that OSU ran back for a touch down, a Buckeye clearly held a Gator defender for a quick second which allowed the runner to escape. That wasn't called and should have been. Gators are #1

All I have to say is GATORS suck ***! Osu may not have had the best game but when the refs are against you and you are off for 51days!?! At least the first 16 seconds were good! plus add in that Ginn was hurt and we had the Heisman jinx! OSU is still the BEST TEAM.

he looked like he was down, the ref's reviewed it, but I saw a possible holding on the grand kick off return by OSU that went uncalled, thus what the hey
if you want to deduct 7 from the Gators , go ahead the win remains the GATORS
Grow up Dusty the ref didnt pull for either team.

Didn't really watch the game,I was at work. But as someone said
here the Gators would have still won. I just expected more from
the Buckeyes. Goooo Bucks!!! Hey,number 2 in the top 5 ain't bad.

I saw a lot of bad calls, on both sides. The reason that Ohio didn't get in on the oversights, is because they were seldom in touchdown range. I am being serious not a jerk. Kentucky Fan

No, it was not a touchdown, but you notice the ref's leaned toward the Gators every time. So, what did you expect when you have to fight the Gators and the refs?

That was a bad call but Tebo would have come in and stuck it in the endzone on the next play, so it would have been a moot point.
