May John Saunders and Keith Jackson both rest in peace. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl national championship game between the Miami (FL) Hurricanes and the Ohio State Buckeyes was nationally televised by ABC in 2003.
Joe T Not to argue or offend, but... Keith Jackson sucked. All hype, like Cosell and Vitale. Check him out on any classic, always making mistakes and saying dumb stuff like “allllmost intercepted.” Also I think he and Woody hated each other, so there’s that. I think most broadcasters suck (Joe Buck🤮) but I love the good ones. John Smoltz is awesome. I think Joel Klatt is spot on and doesn’t have vocal diarrhea like that bag o wind herbstreit. Thank God FOX got the Big10. Disney/abc SUCKS
@Andy Gygi I like Gus' call on the Sylvester shot. Saw it on vcr later because I was IN the arena woohoo What a great game, a gradual one-hr comeback from a 12 pt deficit
Go Buckeyes! They outplayed Miami from start to finish, and deserved to be the National Champions! Miami fans can’t say that controversial call near the end decided the outcome, because if they were the better team it would not have come down to just that play! 🌰🏈
Miami has never been the same since this major beat down at the hands of O State - this was the most physical college football game I have ever seen - it was like a pro game -
What I forgot since I last saw the OSU v Miami Championship Game was how the Buckeyes kicked the shit out of the 'Canes--I mean beat them up so bad one was hospitalized. Total fucjking beat down, humiliation for Miami. Physically smashed them.
How come nobody talks about the back to back gifted calls that Miami got against in the Buckeyes' last possession. If they had the replay camera that year - Buckeyes would of won in regulation.
@@faceones Yes, that's the point I try to make. It wasn't pass interference call it was a holding call. Look at the referee's call. 48:44 the instant replay they emphasized doesn't show the hold at the goal line. But you can see it from the overhead shot.
It's just their way of dealing with it. Remember, they were told all month long that the title belonged to them. And that all they had to do was show up to Sun Devil Stadium on Jan 3, 2003 at 8pm to pick it up. So naturally when that didn't happen they felt like it was taken from them. Remember, Dan Fouts is one of them, he who originally started the controversy. ESPN had to make an entire show about how it wasn't the ref's fault. Just because the guy calling the game says so, doesn't make it correct. He felt just as cheated too. I have only a select few people whose opinions I'll listen to on football. I block out all the fans and all the talking heads that spew nonsense.
As somebody who wanted Miami to win, damn this was a good game. Dorsey tried to hand the game way at least 3-5 times throughout the season, this game finally caught up to him. Regardless of the PI and such this game, Dorsey missed so many opportunities. That said, Miami probably wins this 9/10 times, Props to OSU for that fight of the decade. It's very fun to watch years later, the style of play on both sides was so different. 4th and 14, just make that stop and PI call doesn't matter at all lol.
Ohio State had 4 squeakers against teams they should have easily handled during the season also. Even though I'm retired from Ohio State I'm not a buckeye fan but I think the 2002 season at Ohio state was the most exciting College season I've ever seen. Craig krenzel pulled a rabbit out of his hat at the last minute Time After Time. He was not a great quarterback. All he did was win.
The OSU front 7 won that game. Not just for the goal line stand at the end, but for the pressure they put on Dorsey throughout the game. Might have been the only time in his career that he couldn't take a nap in the backfield.
"So one corner of the stadium gets very quiet here, as the 'red' roars of the Buckeyes are up by 10." One CORNER. That stadium was easily 80-20 tOSU fans. Just amazing. And let's take time to applaud Keith Jackson's superb commentary even in his late, final years. Truly a legend. Let's also applaud because we know Dan Fouts is not working as a color commentator anymore. Truly...horrendous.
Ohio State must have the #1 largest Fan base; their games are the highest ratings. Someone like me, a lifelong New Yorker is a fan thru Ohio Cousins. You got family in Ohio where Buckeyes are everything, seems the natural thing to do. They haven't had a sucking era; of losing seasons in anyone's lifetime; besides Losing to TTUN too often in the 90's. Only Alabama can compete with that many decades; all the other big dogs over decades has SOME suckness. Some dynasties of the 70s-90s are almost irrelevant 2020's like Miami, Nebraska, Gators, Seminoles
It's funny OSU fans talk about the missed hold/possible complete pass to Jenkins at 2:18 remaining, considering the play clock was at 0 and it could've been a delay of game.
I’m so sick of Miami fans bitching about the pass interference call!! If they had replay, this game would’ve never gone to overtime. That was a completion and a first down, right before the last punt... OSU would’ve pretty much run out the clock! There’s an ESPN documentary on the 5 reasons you can’t blame the pass interference call for Miami’s loss. They bring up the “non-catch” call and bring up several good points, that shows why Miami was lucky to even be in overtime!!! Also, Miami had the ball 1st and goal at the 2 yard line and couldn’t tie it up.... You lost, get the F@#+ over it.... Miami was Out coached, Out hustled, and out played! Look how many NFL players were on that Miami team! They thought OSU and The Big Ten were a Joke! Ohio State were 14.5 point underdogs going into that game! Can we just agree that OSU deserved that hard fought, incredible win!
The pick thrown by Krenzel when he had a man wide open on the right streaking for the end zone was crucial also. Clarett's miraculous takeaway helped but that would have been 7 instead of 3 points most likely.
Almost as many pros on the OhSt team. Cooper's best work, Tressel's best coaching, Buckeyes' best defense. Opponents barely tried to run the ball in 02

Justice for what? The fact that the game should have never gone to over time? The fact Ohio state is the team that had to win twice? Oh too soon? Time to admit Miami lost fair and square twice in the same night!
@@josh19852008 the refs owed Ohio State a bone because Miami had pass interference on a Chris Gamble that was at least a hold and was not called and was the only reason Miami got the ball back to tie it.
@@josephdeyoung8754 umm the game should have never gone to over time with gambles catch on the side line. There was no bone to be owed. Miami lost twice. Ohio state was the team that got screwed having to win twice.
@@josh19852008 i didnt type a clear thought, reread my last reply. I would say pass interference call on Gamble in overtime wasn’t a good call but the refs owed the Buckeyes a freebie that would have only tied it and made the game continue and they owed them that because of the no call PI on Gamble during OSU last drive in regulation
Gabriel Dranow More importantly, watch for a minute starting at 41:30. Gamble, diving, caught the pass barely in bounds; ruled out. DB held him on the play or he would have caught it standing and waiting for it. 1st down Buckeyes, run out the clock. Miami was lucky to get OT. Dorsey was lucky to survive our front 4
Extra Introvert Check it out in slo mo. He caught it in bounds after being held. Game over Not iffy. Replay rules would have confirmed it. No punt, no punt return, no OTs
Extra Introvert Not to beat a dead horse (sorry) but check out Fouts “That’s a hold, shoulda been called...” And if you see the catch at .25x playback, clearly caught in bounds. If not for the hold, Gamble is standing up waiting for the pass. Half hour later, stupid Fouts “Bad call” Short memory
Extra Introvert 😎 That aside, the bigger story is- the U found themselves mentally unprepared to be in the ring with a heavyweight. Similar to how Buster beat Tyson. Buster led the whole way, got knocked down late, then put him away
Woody Hayes said "I can win because I'm a lucky coach." Tressel and the Buckeyes were plenty lucky in 2002. Quite welcome after hard luck of 70s 80s and 90s. 70 (regular season Natty Champs) 73 and 96 teams all could have been voted 🗳 No. 1.
Bottom line is forget about the pass interference... they had 4 tries to punch it in from the 1yrd line and couldn't get it done!!! In fact when they did win it ,it was against a Nebraska team that had no business even being there..should have been Oregon
This right here. I've rewatched this game quite a few times and it really didn't dawn on me till today. As a huge buckeye fan, I've always felt, awesome we won, but couldn't help but think, that pass interference while deserved, should almost not have been called. It was in his hands, with the dude sliding down his body, more than a fair chance to catch... until today.... Ok, pass interference is called. Right or wrong, it was called. Ok, fine. What happens next. And as you state... Miami takes over. They get a pass interference, rightly so. Putting them on the 5 with 4 downs. They burn the first two and get on the 2 yard line... at what point do you say, "forget that call on us against osu and just punch it in." At the 2, dorsey could have just fallen in on 3rd and 4th down. They had a shot. It wasn't the previous pass interference on Miami to Ohio. Go bucks
After reading about Ohio State failing to get ball in Endzone in 4 rushes from 2 with 3 attempts from 1 against USC in 80 🌹; I understand why Miami tried 2 pass plays from 1.Glad Canes came up short
When the refs blow a call in favor of the team your for it somehow can be justified. Bottom line is the ref DID blow the call. Wasn’t the first time and certainly not the last. With replay we all can see that the pass interference call was incorrect. Some kid played football his whole life looking for a special moment to be the hero. The ref blew this one and stole that moment from that kid. Shame on the ref for it doing his job!
On February 19, 2021, Kellen Winslow II agreed and accepted a 14-year prison sentence for one count of rape and two counts of assault, and was sentenced on March 3, 2021.
My adorable daughter was born on 12/1/02 it was a blizzard out on this day her mother was sleeping on the couch with me and my daughter at her feet me holding her and watching the snow come down and sheets and watching the hated 🌀s losing one of my most fondness memories in my life I never liked the 🌀s but that penalty in the end zone well I was happy but the canes fans did had a legemit beef
Miami had more talent and should have won this game, but it has nothing to do with the PI call. In fact, they were lucky to not get flagged for almost taking krinzel’s head off a play or two before. My point lies with just how bad the O-Line played relative to the rest of the Canes, and Dorsey ended up turning in one of his worst games due to that pressure. It would serve to be a harbinger to the type of NFL career he had too.
Yes they definitely blew 2 calls in regulation on the same play. Never should have been OT. Difference between this years title game and the previous years is they didn't play another one dimensional team.
Fouts is and was such a biased unprofessional little btch. it wasnt a bad call. OSU straight WAXED a supposedly vastly superior miami team.. canes were arrogant and got punched in the face all night. Da U is still in the grave from this night 20 years ago when Bucks murdered them
It is defensive holding if not PI. And the game should not have been in OT if it was called straight. Gamble caught it after Jennings held him. That would have been in it regulation.
Defensive holding. Nice try. Including late in the 4th, when Gamble caught the pass after being held. And was wrongly ruled incomplete. The game should have never even gone to OT. Especially knowing they held all night as Miami did not have the athletes to compete with Gamble and Jenkins. So they held all night, as Glenn Sharpe admitted post game. "They did it all night, why call it now". The official grew a conscience. That's why.
@@nickma71 LOL! Antrel Rolle and Kelly Jennings, two 1st rounders, can’t compete with Gamble, a CB playing WR, and Jenkins? Sean Taylor isn’t athletic enough? Rolle and Taylor both made multiple pro bowls. If not for his tragic murder Sean Taylor was well on his way to the HOF. Gamble was a solid NFL cb, nothing more, and Mike Jenkins was a possession receiver who never even had 800 yards receiving in a single season. Most years he was a 500-600 yard guy. He played with Matt Ryan for three years and was never a difference maker. The ball hit Gamble in the hands, he had a clean shot at catching it, and he dropped it. Then the ref steps in and bails him out.
@@nickma71 The point Sharpe is making is that the DB’s for both teams were allowed to be physical all night. Gamble was tugging on Dre Johnson’s jersey all night at the LOS. Dustin Fox did was grabbing Parrish and Sands. Refs weren’t calling ticky tack penalties. Then on a game deciding play they decide to call as petty a penalty as a ref can call. That’s the point Sharpe was making. McGahee getting hurt was a decisive point in the game. Miami’s ground game was starting to cook. The injury was also very deflating for the Canes as a team. I know a few guys on that team and they all said it was definitely a distraction. They all knew McGahee planned to go to the NFL after that game and seeing an injury that they thought could jeopardize his career is gonna hurt your ability to focus. He ended up being a 1st round pick anyways and having an excellent career but at the time his teammates don’t know that.
I thought it was a bad call.Still after all the bad luck Ohio State had over the years I didn't mind.Besides Miami shouldn't have been deflated about call and ensuing TD.Canes should have kept playing.They let momentum slip away
Not really... Refs screwed Ohio State badly which allowed the game to go to OT. Even then, the pass interference call should have been an obvious defensive holding putting the ball in the same spot. Anti- OSU folks will always ignore this though. Fact is Miami might have been the better team, but was beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball that night.
4th down incomplete pass the game is over. 4 seconds later back judge decided to pull out the yellow flag. Worst call all time.. game should have been over…
Nah i'd say the worst call was late 4th qtr. Not only does Jennings blatantly hold Gamble (tugging his jersey even), but Gamble even made the first down catch in bounds and the refs totally blew it. Should have never been the big punt return or overtime. Buckeyes win fair and square in regulation. Also look on other channels that show more angles (the long angle) and it was quite clearly pass interference. Sad that Miami fans can't give Ohio State credit on a hard fought physical win.
Miami gets mugged by referee Terry Porter, a resident of Columbus Ohio. He probably threw a bunch of other flags during the game to help the Buckeyes as well.😡
I'm retired from Ohio State University and I worked in the Lincoln Tower which sits right next to the stadium. I'm not and never really was a Buckeye football fan. Coach John Trussell was a competent coach but as a person, he was a huge hypocrite. That said, speaking purely as a football fan that 2002 season what's the most exciting college football season I have ever seen. It's too easy to look back and say well Ohio State went undefeated and it IS Ohio State but if you look closer there were several come-from-behind Miracle wins that put them lossless and ranked #2 and gets them in this game. And then the national championship game itself is that double overtime Thriller I don't think I've ever seen a greater college football game than that. What's a miracle. The squeakers included Cincinnati, Wisconsin, and Purdue, all of which were teams Ohio state would normally blow out, and then Michigan. It was easy to think that Because of that heart-in-your-throat, nail-biter wins against teams that weren't that good that maybe Ohio State wasn't really that good. But they kept winning those nail-biters all the way up to and including that incredible National Championship double overtime win. A game that was one the greatest college games of all time. It ends with a goal-line stand as good as it gets. From 1st and goal from the 1-yard line to 4th and goal from the 1-yard line. The fake running play fails to block a blitzing cornerback who gets the QB by the jersey spinning him around as he throws wildly.
Miami wasn't as good as the year before losing all those guys to the nfl and nail biter wins vs average fsu and Pitt teams. They just happened to play like shit that night and Ohio didn't go away. With all that they should have won anyways if wasn't for that bad call. I wonder if you rank the last 20 Champs where does this Ohio state team rank ? Last ?
20 years of being fkin trash since this night OSU murdered Da U and put them in the ground for good.. bad call? u ppl are embarrassing! u got manhandled. stfu and move on. OSU won on every level.. cane arrogance is why the program is a fakin joke, son...
Yep, definitely should've been called defensive holding. Of course it still would have been first & goal at about the same spot so... Then again, if not for the refs, the Canes don't even make it to overtime.
@@steelbuck6777 also your going to have questionable calls throughout any game but you don’t call a PI on 4th down at the goal line in which it would have been the final play. Like Dan said “bad call!”
@@louisdelgadillo9363 Except those weren't just questionable leading to the OT. It was a clear as day hold (major jersey tug), not too mention the pass was complete for a first down, but missed as well. th-cam.com/video/RLQ2Giz3DNY/w-d-xo.html video shows it all and actually shows the PI call could be argued as correct. His hands were definitely all over Gamble as the ball was in the air. The vid & pic clearly shows that. Fouts proclaiming 'bad call' before he saw everything caused all this, but it doesn't change what actually happened. OSU was just the better team at the line of scrimmage that night. Not the better team, but that night they were.
This game turned me into a Ohio State hater lol. The main reason for that is every time they win, lose, or draw their fan base becomes so unlikeable. They’re always crying about something.
Ahh, the infamous phantom pass interference game. Ohio St.’s natty will forever be annotated with an asterisk for one of the worst calls of all-time that robbed it from Miami. And, I don’t even like Miami. It’s funny how Ohio St fans always cry when they lose about how it is the refs who beat them (see Clemson game two years ago as an example) or that they beat themselves. They never give credit to the other team beating them. Funny how it doesn’t work the same way when you ask them about this game.
Ah The infamous OT game that would have ended in regulation on 3rd & wrong at the mugging of Gamble. Funny how anti-Ohio State people always cry about the pass interference but not the wrong call that would've led to a fresh set of downs for OSU to kneel out. Funny how it doesn't work the same way when it would have been in favor of OSU.
One dude already obliterated you but here's another thing to ponder. Right or wrong. Miami got another chance. They so much got a chance that their first play, with a right call of pass interference, got them on the 5 yard line with 4 downs. They blew threw their first 2, putting them on the 2 yard line. You can get made at the pass interference in the first OT. Who you can't blame in OT#2 is the bucks for stopping Miami on the TWO.YARD.LINE. Also, the game is 20 years old. Don't know why you'd equate emotions to current buckeyes. They've been quite successful throughout the last 15 years
You OSU people continue to rationalise and make excuses for a game you know in your heart you lost. I'm an FSU fan, and hate Miami, but they were cheated regardless.

Justice for what? The fact that the game should have never gone to over time? The fact Ohio state is the team that had to win twice?
Oh too soon?
Time to admit Miami lost fair and square twice in the same night!
@@josh19852008 the refs owed Ohio State a bone because Miami had pass interference on a Chris Gamble that was at least a hold and was not called and was the only reason Miami got the ball back to tie it.
@@josephdeyoung8754 umm the game should have never gone to over time with gambles catch on the side line. There was no bone to be owed. Miami lost twice. Ohio state was the team that got screwed having to win twice.
@@josh19852008 i didnt type a clear thought, reread my last reply. I would say pass interference call on Gamble in overtime wasn’t a good call but the refs owed the Buckeyes a freebie that would have only tied it and made the game continue and they owed them that because of the no call PI on Gamble during OSU last drive in regulation
I'm pretty sure you guys are agreeing with each other, lol.
Can someone explain the controversy behind that PI call? It looks EXACTLY like pass interference

More importantly, watch for a minute starting at 41:30.
Gamble, diving, caught the pass barely in bounds; ruled out.
DB held him on the play or he would have caught it standing and waiting for it.
1st down Buckeyes, run out the clock.
Miami was lucky to get OT.
Dorsey was lucky to survive our front 4

Check it out in slo mo.
He caught it in bounds after being held.
Game over
Not iffy.
Replay rules would have confirmed it.
No punt, no punt return, no OTs
Extra Introvert
Not to beat a dead horse (sorry) but check out Fouts
“That’s a hold, shoulda been called...”
And if you see the catch at .25x playback, clearly caught in bounds.
If not for the hold, Gamble is standing up waiting for the pass.
Half hour later, stupid Fouts
“Bad call”

That aside, the bigger story is- the U found themselves mentally unprepared to be in the ring with a heavyweight.
Similar to how Buster beat Tyson.
Buster led the whole way, got knocked down late, then put him away

I was born during this game, go OHU
6 of OSU's games came down to less than 7 points that season.
Woody Hayes said "I can win because I'm a lucky coach." Tressel and the Buckeyes were plenty lucky in 2002. Quite welcome after hard luck of 70s 80s and 90s. 70 (regular season Natty Champs) 73 and 96 teams all could have been voted 🗳 No. 1.
Bottom line is forget about the pass interference... they had 4 tries to punch it in from the 1yrd line and couldn't get it done!!! In fact when they did win it ,it was against a Nebraska team that had no business even being there..should have been Oregon
This right here. I've rewatched this game quite a few times and it really didn't dawn on me till today. As a huge buckeye fan, I've always felt, awesome we won, but couldn't help but think, that pass interference while deserved, should almost not have been called. It was in his hands, with the dude sliding down his body, more than a fair chance to catch... until today....
Ok, pass interference is called. Right or wrong, it was called. Ok, fine. What happens next. And as you state...
Miami takes over. They get a pass interference, rightly so. Putting them on the 5 with 4 downs. They burn the first two and get on the 2 yard line... at what point do you say, "forget that call on us against osu and just punch it in." At the 2, dorsey could have just fallen in on 3rd and 4th down.
They had a shot. It wasn't the previous pass interference on Miami to Ohio. Go bucks
After reading about Ohio State failing to get ball in Endzone in 4 rushes from 2 with 3 attempts from 1 against USC in 80 🌹; I understand why Miami tried 2 pass plays from 1.Glad Canes came up short
When the refs blow a call in favor of the team your for it somehow can be justified. Bottom line is the ref DID blow the call. Wasn’t the first time and certainly not the last. With replay we all can see that the pass interference call was incorrect. Some kid played football his whole life looking for a special moment to be the hero. The ref blew this one and stole that moment from that kid. Shame on the ref for it doing his job!
They would of destroyed Oregon as well. Do not downplay how talented that 01 team was.
This was the day that “Da U” died. Miami football have not been the same since.
Awesome hit
On February 19, 2021, Kellen Winslow II agreed and accepted a 14-year prison sentence for one count of rape and two counts of assault, and was sentenced on March 3, 2021.
🙏❤️
I seen this coming. Greg Jones of Fsu ran rough shot on Miami. Miami was susceptible to the run.
I remember that OSU cheerleader at half time was one helluva sweet potata

My adorable daughter was born on 12/1/02 it was a blizzard out on this day her mother was sleeping on the couch with me and my daughter at her feet me holding her and watching the snow come down and sheets and watching the hated 🌀s losing one of my most fondness memories in my life I never liked the 🌀s but that penalty in the end zone well I was happy but the canes fans did had a legemit beef
Can’t believe Miami lost this game.
Really they didn’t…
@@phillipmain9144 good point
Should've wore orange jerseys
oh that fourth down pass interference call.
Oh that Miami red zone interception and then Clarett says “dude gimme that ball back”
Miami had more talent and should have won this game, but it has nothing to do with the PI call. In fact, they were lucky to not get flagged for almost taking krinzel’s head off a play or two before. My point lies with just how bad the O-Line played relative to the rest of the Canes, and Dorsey ended up turning in one of his worst games due to that pressure. It would serve to be a harbinger to the type of NFL career he had too.
Still think miami should've wore the orange jerseys
2002 Miami was the worse of the 3 Miami teams in that run. 2000 Miami was better.
their offense was similiar but their defense was just above average in 2002
I'll bet McGahee still has nightmares of Will Allen ruining his career
But he didn't though. McGahee had a relatively solid NFL career, even after such an injury.
It took four turnovers and the infamous PI call for OSU to beat Miami lol.
Go Bucks
A loss is a loss. Crying about it 20 years later is kind of gay.
36:40 catastrophic, career altering knee injury suffered by mcgahee.
Miami been doodoo ever since!
I wonder how much da ref put down on this game cause man💀😂😂
Yes they definitely blew 2 calls in regulation on the same play. Never should have been OT. Difference between this years title game and the previous years is they didn't play another one dimensional team.
That was no PI. Refs smoking crack
One of the Greatest games with one of the worst calls of all time
I know. Miami got away with many holds. Fortunately, OSU still managed to win anyway.
Bad call, bad call!!
Fouts is and was such a biased unprofessional little btch. it wasnt a bad call. OSU straight WAXED a supposedly vastly superior miami team.. canes were arrogant and got punched in the face all night. Da U is still in the grave from this night 20 years ago when Bucks murdered them
Bad announcing! Bad announcing! Canes lost like little kids playing men.
@@jblacktree amen. O H
Bitch about it! Bitch about it!
the pass was tipped, should've been a non-call and a turnover, gameover
It is defensive holding if not PI. And the game should not have been in OT if it was called straight. Gamble caught it after Jennings held him. That would have been in it regulation.
Was not tipped
Defensive holding. Nice try. Including late in the 4th, when Gamble caught the pass after being held. And was wrongly ruled incomplete. The game should have never even gone to OT. Especially knowing they held all night as Miami did not have the athletes to compete with Gamble and Jenkins. So they held all night, as Glenn Sharpe admitted post game. "They did it all night, why call it now". The official grew a conscience. That's why.
@@nickma71 LOL! Antrel Rolle and Kelly Jennings, two 1st rounders, can’t compete with Gamble, a CB playing WR, and Jenkins? Sean Taylor isn’t athletic enough? Rolle and Taylor both made multiple pro bowls. If not for his tragic murder Sean Taylor was well on his way to the HOF. Gamble was a solid NFL cb, nothing more, and Mike Jenkins was a possession receiver who never even had 800 yards receiving in a single season. Most years he was a 500-600 yard guy. He played with Matt Ryan for three years and was never a difference maker.
The ball hit Gamble in the hands, he had a clean shot at catching it, and he dropped it. Then the ref steps in and bails him out.
@@nickma71 The point Sharpe is making is that the DB’s for both teams were allowed to be physical all night. Gamble was tugging on Dre Johnson’s jersey all night at the LOS. Dustin Fox did was grabbing Parrish and Sands. Refs weren’t calling ticky tack penalties. Then on a game deciding play they decide to call as petty a penalty as a ref can call.
That’s the point Sharpe was making.
McGahee getting hurt was a decisive point in the game. Miami’s ground game was starting to cook. The injury was also very deflating for the Canes as a team. I know a few guys on that team and they all said it was definitely a distraction. They all knew McGahee planned to go to the NFL after that game and seeing an injury that they thought could jeopardize his career is gonna hurt your ability to focus. He ended up being a 1st round pick anyways and having an excellent career but at the time his teammates don’t know that.
Miami won that game!! Absolute terrible call by the refs. It's hard to understand why refs extend a game knowing Miami deserved that game!!
Simple scripted for money.
I watched this game live my senior year in high school. I wanted Ohio state to win, but I thought Miami got screwed.
You heard him bad call bad call ohio paided for that chip
It was a good call for defensive holding which is easy to see.
@@cumulus1234 everyone seems to forget there was a complete pass before regulation would have sealed it
@@faceones why didn’t the completed pass seal it. Don’t remember that.
I thought it was a bad call.Still after all the bad luck Ohio State had over the years I didn't mind.Besides Miami shouldn't have been deflated about call and ensuing TD.Canes should have kept playing.They let momentum slip away
That was not pass interference. Refs screwed Miami this game.
Dan fouts was the biggest homer to ever call a game was pulling for Miami the whole game
Miami definitely got cheated and this is coming from a Gator fan.
You spelled "lucky" wrong.
Without the refs the game doesn't go into OT.
Completely agree. I’m not UM fan either.
Miami got so screwed lol.
Not really... Refs screwed Ohio State badly which allowed the game to go to OT. Even then, the pass interference call should have been an obvious defensive holding putting the ball in the same spot. Anti- OSU folks will always ignore this though. Fact is Miami might have been the better team, but was beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball that night.
@@steelbuck6777 Great point brother. GO BUCKEYES !!! Checkout my youtube channel BUCKEYE VINNIE, please watch my videos and sub to my channel thanks.
@@steelbuck6777 exactly
No. Miami got lucky.
They got lucky it went into OT for a 2nd chance and they still couldn't put it away.
Cheated
4th down incomplete pass the game is over. 4 seconds later back judge decided to pull out the yellow flag. Worst call all time.. game should have been over…
Nah i'd say the worst call was late 4th qtr. Not only does Jennings blatantly hold Gamble (tugging his jersey even), but Gamble even made the first down catch in bounds and the refs totally blew it. Should have never been the big punt return or overtime. Buckeyes win fair and square in regulation. Also look on other channels that show more angles (the long angle) and it was quite clearly pass interference. Sad that Miami fans can't give Ohio State credit on a hard fought physical win.
Miami gets mugged by referee Terry Porter, a resident of Columbus Ohio. He probably threw a bunch of other flags during the game to help the Buckeyes as well.😡
Miami won
Cry.
I'm retired from Ohio State University and I worked in the Lincoln Tower which sits right next to the stadium. I'm not and never really was a Buckeye football fan. Coach John Trussell was a competent coach but as a person, he was a huge hypocrite. That said, speaking purely as a football fan that 2002 season what's the most exciting college football season I have ever seen. It's too easy to look back and say well Ohio State went undefeated and it IS Ohio State but if you look closer there were several come-from-behind Miracle wins that put them lossless and ranked #2 and gets them in this game. And then the national championship game itself is that double overtime Thriller I don't think I've ever seen a greater college football game than that. What's a miracle. The squeakers included Cincinnati, Wisconsin, and Purdue, all of which were teams Ohio state would normally blow out, and then Michigan. It was easy to think that Because of that heart-in-your-throat, nail-biter wins against teams that weren't that good that maybe Ohio State wasn't really that good. But they kept winning those nail-biters all the way up to and including that incredible National Championship double overtime win. A game that was one the greatest college games of all time. It ends with a goal-line stand as good as it gets. From 1st and goal from the 1-yard line to 4th and goal from the 1-yard line. The fake running play fails to block a blitzing cornerback who gets the QB by the jersey spinning him around as he throws wildly.
Wow…Miami actually won this game…no PI!!
Miami wasn't as good as the year before losing all those guys to the nfl and nail biter wins vs average fsu and Pitt teams. They just happened to play like shit that night and Ohio didn't go away. With all that they should have won anyways if wasn't for that bad call. I wonder if you rank the last 20 Champs where does this Ohio state team rank ? Last ?
Miami should’ve never got the game to overtime (without the refs)
The fact there so many Fuckeye fans I here trying to explain the bs , you know there was bs in this game
Poor baby. Got beat to a pulp?
WORST CALL IN NCAA HISTORY!!!
I agree. And for anyone that wants to see it: 42:14
20 years of being fkin trash since this night OSU murdered Da U and put them in the ground for good.. bad call? u ppl are embarrassing! u got manhandled. stfu and move on. OSU won on every level.. cane arrogance is why the program is a fakin joke, son...
One of the worst PI calls ever
Yep, definitely should've been called defensive holding. Of course it still would have been first & goal at about the same spot so... Then again, if not for the refs, the Canes don't even make it to overtime.
@@steelbuck6777 there was no holding, the ball hit his hands before he even touched him
@@steelbuck6777 also your going to have questionable calls throughout any game but you don’t call a PI on 4th down at the goal line in which it would have been the final play. Like Dan said “bad call!”
@@louisdelgadillo9363 Except those weren't just questionable leading to the OT. It was a clear as day hold (major jersey tug), not too mention the pass was complete for a first down, but missed as well. th-cam.com/video/RLQ2Giz3DNY/w-d-xo.html video shows it all and actually shows the PI call could be argued as correct. His hands were definitely all over Gamble as the ball was in the air. The vid & pic clearly shows that. Fouts proclaiming 'bad call' before he saw everything caused all this, but it doesn't change what actually happened. OSU was just the better team at the line of scrimmage that night. Not the better team, but that night they were.
@@steelbuck6777 agree at the end, love the channel
This game turned me into a Ohio State hater lol. The main reason for that is every time they win, lose, or draw their fan base becomes so unlikeable. They’re always crying about something.
Ahh, the infamous phantom pass interference game. Ohio St.’s natty will forever be annotated with an asterisk for one of the worst calls of all-time that robbed it from Miami. And, I don’t even like Miami. It’s funny how Ohio St fans always cry when they lose about how it is the refs who beat them (see Clemson game two years ago as an example) or that they beat themselves. They never give credit to the other team beating them. Funny how it doesn’t work the same way when you ask them about this game.
Ah The infamous OT game that would have ended in regulation on 3rd & wrong at the mugging of Gamble.
Funny how anti-Ohio State people always cry about the pass interference but not the wrong call that would've led to a fresh set of downs for OSU to kneel out. Funny how it doesn't work the same way when it would have been in favor of OSU.
One dude already obliterated you but here's another thing to ponder.
Right or wrong. Miami got another chance. They so much got a chance that their first play, with a right call of pass interference, got them on the 5 yard line with 4 downs. They blew threw their first 2, putting them on the 2 yard line.
You can get made at the pass interference in the first OT. Who you can't blame in OT#2 is the bucks for stopping Miami on the TWO.YARD.LINE.
Also, the game is 20 years old. Don't know why you'd equate emotions to current buckeyes. They've been quite successful throughout the last 15 years
Horrible call that was not inference
You OSU people continue to rationalise and make excuses for a game you know in your heart you lost. I'm an FSU fan, and hate Miami, but they were cheated regardless.
It was PI 🤡🤡🤡🤡
This I still by fat the worst officiated game of all time, bcs still owes ,Miami a ship
Now this is more like it! 34 year Natty Drought broken
