COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A targeting call that wasn't changed Saturday's game for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes kept the first six points of their 28-14 win over Minnesota when a penalty on linebacker Joshua Perry was changed on review, and they kept something else just as valuable.
"It wasn't so much the points, it's a lot of momentum that comes with it," Perry said. "It was a big momentum swing either way, so I'm glad to have it on our side. I think it got things going a little bit and gave us some juice."
A blitzing Perry was initially called for targeting as he hit Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner at the 3-yardline on third-and-6 in the second quarter.
