Again, the other huge thing here is that the Minny Player is a "protected player" under the rule (IOW, you're not allowed to hit him in "Head or Neck Area" with any part of your body, let alone leading with your helmet into his head as the duhO$U defender clearly does). The Wisconsin runner was not a "protected player" under the rule, so it is utterly irrelevant how hard Brooks hit him or how it looked relative to duhO$U hit. Under the rule, the PSU defender was entitled to hit him high (i.e., head-&-neck area) as long as it was a legal hit (which in the PSU case is any hit other than one "INITIATED" with the crown of the helmet.). Brooks clearly did not "Initiate the hit with the crown of his helmet" - he FACTUALLY initiated the hit with his shoulder. The duhO$U player struck a "protected player" in the "head & neck" area (in this case intentionally using his helmet to make helmet-to-helmet contact) - ILLEGAL by Rule Definition. So of course, the b1g cheaters ignored a CLEARLY BLATANT ILLEGAL hit by duhO$U to protect them and penalized a CLEARLY LEGAL HIT by PSU in a clear attempt to help Wisconsin (and hurt PSU), but some of the posing b1g douche shills don't see the clear bias in big cheating officiating that these two calls clearly demonstrate.
But if PSU had two players do what OSU did it would not have been targeting…..I can’t even keep a straight face typing that. PSU would have both of those players ejected.
**** the BIG refs.
**** the pevent defense.
Other than that, it's been a pretty nice Saturday.

shout out to Brisker for returning his interception out to the 40, those extra yards were huge with how the game ended
Cross out machine gun and write in incubator
True, he could have thought that iced the game and went down. I was hoping he ran it all the way back.
I think this has more to do with Indiana being exposed that Iowa being world-beaters.
Some teams were negatively impacted by Covid and some were positively impacted….Indiana falls in the latter group.
He was tackled 2 or 3 times in backfield on Wiscy's last drive, with the standard 95 offensive plays and no holds called on Wiscy. But somehow the jackwagon refs saw 17 with hands to the face of the guy that was tackling him all day...
Yeah, that was a timely call against PSU. Good grief.
The UW left tackle looked like a calf roper during the last 10 minutes. All he lacked was a short rope to tie the legs up
Hey, whaddaya think about the nil-nil draw vs. El Salvador?
Wow, the definition of targeting. Defenseless player, leading with crown of helmet, launching, etc. Oh, forgot the Ohio State exclusion in the rule.
I think he did, every time I saw the OL in the 2nd half, #68 was in there.
Yet the hit was so violent that Mertz wasn't even knocked down. I'd suggest there has never been a targeting call where the alleged target remained standing.....
I was hoping he took it to the house and the rest of the team joined him in the end zone and did Jump Around.
Jerry et al did miss at least 6 blatant offensive holding calls on Wiscy. 95 plays. No holds.
I agree with all you wrote. They bounced back in the second half. Everyone will hope for better in the future. They now have good possibilities to look forward to.
That didn’t look like targeting to me, if I understand the rule correctly. And God knows I probably don’t understand the rule correctly (because if I did, there is no reasonable way they could have tossed Brooks from the game today). This play looked like contact was not made with the crown of the helmet.
I'll take the game Jerry and his crew called. It wasn't perfect, but neither was it blatantly biased. And at the end, he made the correct call...even though it killed the home team.
McGinn's roots are in the Big East. He's not a B1G guy and doesn't bring conference politics to the job. It shows. I'd be happy for him to call all our games.
Well he and his crew need to brush up on holding because the UW left tackle got away with murder in an attempt to keep UW in the game. Obvious calls.
How do I give this 1,000 likes for each of the virgins that Yurcich deserves for doing this? And PSURO as well....
Plus there was no run back on most kicks
Especially since Pry played Prevent Winning D, allowing 30 yards in 8 seconds on first 2 plays final drive. Pathetic.
Agreed, better than a loss, but a W was there for the taking. Beat Canucks tomorrow.
I agree with you. I generally think he does a good job. Maybe not so much today, but he’s definitely better than the typical part time insurance salesmen (full time crooks) from Flint or Westerville that usually ref these games
Thought the 2 punt return interference calls were sketchy at best as well.
Alone in my mancave, my wife shouted down and asked if I was OK after my very vocal (almost physical) reactions to both of those (obvious) quick out plays...
Yea, but Wisconsin was still a long way from the goal line.... and how many yards did he give up over the next minute???
