Yea, if you dont believe how crucial some of those BS penalties were like the one on Amos that lead to 7 pts, compared to our penalties then I dont know what to say.

It was blatantly clear PSU got screwed by officiating today (and we screwed ourselves too)..It didnt lose us the game, but you never know with momentum this game couldve been completely different. You guys got calls in the most crucial times and the calls were BS.

Also, just pointing out those penalties does not tell the story...All you have to do is watch the game and you can see PSU was playing against 11+1(refs) tonight.

Yeah.
That pass interference against you guys with 3 minutes left really evened out that phantom defensive holding leading to an OSU touchdown.

He already said the refs aren't THE reason PSU lost today,
But even your own Chris Spielman and all other commentators were noting on how awful the calls against PSU were during the game.

Not following the conspiracy theory. If you watched the whole game last week, OSU got hosed on several abysmal calls against Purdue in the first 3 qtrs. They were as good as dead in that game, including missing their best player, and managed to win anyways.

The common thread to their success is good coaching. OSU is not currently elite in talent (although IMO they will be soon), but they have an elite coach who has generated results better than their current talent level. Even with no phantom hold call on Bars, PI on the fake punt, or hold called on Mauti; I am still convinced that OSU would've won the game. Why? Because on every OTHER big play during the game, OSU won it either via talent or coaching. They would've found a way to beat us even if the calls had gone our way. It wasn't our night. We couldn't run the ball. We couldn't pick up their blitz. We couldn't stop them when they hurried up. We couldn't capitalize on opportunities in their end of the field. We couldn't convert big downs. We couldnt generate big plays. They were able to do ALL those things, and that's why they won. Conspiracy theories can be spun anytime, but common sense says a 2 time NC winner w more/better horses in his stable beat a lesser opponent coached by a guy w 5 career Ws. It's not that far fetched.
