Welcome to The Hodgepodge.
I knelt in the end zone with a camera fixated on Ryan Day as he awaited official word on whether or not a questionable targeting call would be upheld or reversed. A nervous energy filled Ohio Stadium. The longer the review dragged on, the more tense the situation became. Ohio State was clinging to a 21-17 advantage after already needing a fourth-quarter comeback to re-take the lead.
Ohio State fans paid no thought to a matchup with Nebraska being competitive leading up to gameday. The Cornhuskers had been dismantled 56-7 by Indiana a week prior, surely they posed no threat.
