Ohio State beat Indiana 19-15 last week and then spent the next few days talking about the flags. The No. 4 Buckeyes moved to 6-1, but head coach Ryan Day made it clear he thinks the officiating played too big a role in how close it got.
“I don’t want to break any confidentiality of what goes on, but yeah, I think it’s fair to see we all saw, you can see the still pictures, you can see what was,” said Ryan Day on Big Ten officials, per reporter Chase Brown. “Those are game-changing plays. I know they’re working hard to make sure it’s right and to get it right, but there was a handful of plays in that game that certainly were big plays.”
That is a careful way of saying the Buckeyes were bothered. Ohio State usually sends in about 10 plays a week for review. After Indiana, it sent more. Day wouldn’t share what happens inside that process, only that the team gets feedback from officials and conference representatives each week…
