OT: Does O$U ever play Defense
- Thread starter Do Dah Day
- Start date
I found there to be an interesting scenario at the end of the game. Not sure if anyone noticed, they didn't bring it up on the broadcast. Thornton makes the 3 to take the lead. Timeout Maryland something like 7 seconds left. They get it in, and quickly advance it so someone (Rice?) takes a 3. Rebound bounces kinda to Reese, but it gets tipped out of bounds by Ohio State. Clock says zero. They review, and put .7 on the clock. But the review shows that the ref Sciorotto actually CATCHES the ball before it lands. There's no question it's going to end up out of bounds, and no player is close to it, but he catches it for seemingly no reason. They replays weren't great, but I have to assume that they set the clock at the point where he caught it. If he doesn't catch it, and it ends up hitting the ground, shouldn't another, say, .4 or .5 come off the clock? Something? Maybe enough for Maryland to NOT be allowed to get a normal shot off? Which of course they did, and it actually hit iron but missed.
You know that if the Chiefs were playing, they would have hit the 3 and won in overtime.
