Very interesting how you cut out the fact that the Ref who threw the flag motioned both DEFENSIVE HOLDING AND DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. Are you going to debunk that fact??
I love how everyone focuses on this call that literally could have gone either way, but seem to forget about some of the trash calls and nocalls during the rest of the game.
@@PickHuey OSU probably a very similar path with 1-2 less championships. UM probably would’ve maintained status as a top 10-15 football school (I am biased as a UM fan though)
@@investorbettor505sadly coach decided to fire like four Assistants who all had sick recruits coming in just to play with them. Most recruits dipped, he never hired comparable replacements and it was downhill ever since
No pass interference, receivers and cornerbacks bump on every play going up for a pass like this. There was no pulling, or anything stopping him from catching it. Just dropped it.
Eagle027 Face mask was after Gamble dropped the ball. The face mask was incidental, anyway, as Gamble's momentum was carrying him into Glenn Sharpe after he dropped the ball.
***** It's called bump and run coverage. That's not holding. See that in every game when team's are near the goal line. Unless the defender actually prevents the receiver from getting off the line by grabbing him and not letting go, it's not holding, and therefore not a flag. Gamble simply dropped the pass, before he and Glenn Sharpe even made contact.
Saints2 SuperBowl The fact that it’s still argued today doesn’t mean squat. That’s the point of controversy.. it’s usually argued about, regardless of topic, for decades, if not centuries. Even if there was no pass interference, there were two other penalties they could have thrown the flag on. Both would have resulted in a 1st and goal at the 1 for OSU.
Congrats Miami on what?? Miami lost clown. That was an obvious pass interference. Learn the rules of the game loser. I’m a Michigan fan I never thought I’d be defending the buckeyes so much
You should make a video showing the hold against Gamble and the catch he made that was called incomplete. This game rightfully should have ended in regulation with Ohio State taking a knee.
@@mickey3424 The refs were the only reason Miami made it to OT and you're blaming them? lol 17-14 Ohio State runs out the clock if they call the correct call on 3rd & 5 with 2 minutes left. Gamble was held twice and still caught it. Or the punt return where there was numerous blocks in the back.
This game taught us games can be rigged by crooked officials and Im not even a Miami fan. One that was a tipped pass.. Second ball made contact with the WR before the defender made contact.
With about 2 minutes left in the game, Ohio State had a 3rd and 10. Krenzel completed a pass to Gamble, who was held multiple times on the play. The ref called it incomplete despite Gamble being clearly inbounds. That allowed Miami to get the tying field goal. I don't want to hear anything about "crooked refs" when that also happened during this game.
The official's greatest sin is anticipation. You have to SEE something before you can call it. Terry Porter, the official who called the penalty, SAW Sharpe interfering with Gamble. Just because he took a couple of extra seconds to throw the flag is irrelevant. Much better than throwing the flag immediately when nothing was there.
you are also forgetting the play in regulation where gamble caught a pass for a 1st down with 2 minutes to go that was called incomplete when replay showed it a catch, game over in regulation 17-14 OSU
That 4th and 14 play happened in overtime. I was talking about 2 blown or missed calls in regulation that favored Miami. Might have? There is no room for "might haves" in football. Only "dids". The ref was 110% sure. He said so after the game too and the call was ruled correct by the National Association of Sports Officials. Sharpe did not stay off Gamble til the ball got there. The ref said Gamble was being held the whole time. I'll take the word of the guy who was 10 feet from the play.
You’re smoking dust. Did you even see the play? Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE understands that this was AN INCORRECT CALL! Babbling about calls and/or no-calls earlier in the game is cute for crybabies to do. But 4th & goal in OT with the game on the line? Yeah, that call NEEDED to made correctly, and as a fan who hates Miami with a seething passion, I’m here to tell you it was butchered to hell & back! That was a beyond a gift from the Zebras. It was literally STEALING a National Title AWAY from Miami & GIVING it to a program that did NOT actually “win it” on the field! Insofar as Miami is perhaps the dirtiest, slimiest program that’s ever existed, people shed no tears for them on getting ROBBED. Couldn’t have happened to a better group of thugs. But let’s keep your roll in check. OSU fans have ZERO to brag about. They shouldn’t have even accepted the trophy.
With 2:18 remaining in the game with the Buckeyes leading 17-14, Ohio State faced a third-and-long. Chris Gamble ran a simple out route toward the Ohio State sideline but his jersey was grabbed by Miami cornerback Glen Sharpe, just as he made his cut. Replays clearly showed the infraction. But get this: Gamble caught Craig Krenzel’s pass INBOUNDS as he rolled toward the sideline. Not only did the same official, Terry Porter, of the Big 12 Conference officiating crew, not call the defensive holding penalty, officials ruled the play an incomplete pass. Tape of the play clearly showed that Gamble caught the pass inbounds, but it was replayed only once during the broadcast of the game. Remember, this was before the replay system had been implemented in college football. If the officials had called either the defensive holding or ruled the pass complete, Ohio State would have been awarded a first down, then Krenzel would have kneeled down three times to end the game. Ohio State would have won the game, 17-14, in regulation. Miami then kicked a game-tying field goal on the final play of regulation.
this game was probably the first football game that I can recall having memory of watching. Every now and then I come back to this play, and whenever I watch it, all I think is “holding at the very best“
i love how this video is based entirely around you don't call it at this moment. Well why not? its not like it 100% cost a national title for miami. they had the same chance as ohio state when we committed pass interference in the end zone. They just didn't capitalize. We did. Game Over
anyone with eyes outside of Ohio can just watch the video and see there was no penalty. ohio st needed a bad call in the endzone to win the game in ot...they needed mcgahee to hurt his knee to get to ot. and i rooted for ohio st to win that year.
Paul H to say there was no pass interference i get that. but to say there was no penalty whatsoever..... come on son......there was al least defensive holding which is an automatic first down as well and the ball is a half yard further out. Miami still had a chance to win but they didn't stop us and they didn't answer either. We won they lost. simple as that
@@paulh7026 Actually it was defensive holding, the defender is pulling Gamble's jersey and then wraps his arms around him long before the pass was even thrown. Either way, first and goal from the 2.
Miami is lucky it even went to overtime for this call to have been made. On OSU's last possession in regulation, they completed a 3rd down pass to Gamble that was ruled out of bounds when replay showed that not to be the case. Plus, Miami had four chances inside the 5 yd line to score at the end and could not. They lose. Case closed.
Oh, you can also see it at 0:16. Or at 2:08 when this poster says, "Ball leaves Hand". What you cannot see on that angle is that when "Ball Leaves Hand" contact is still being made. Look at multiple angles since there is no one angle that has all of the players involved on the screen at the same time through the whole play.
I remember seeing this like it was yesterday and the announcers must have said at least 6 times that it was a bad call.. It's bad enough to lose a game on a penalty, but to lose it on a bad call in a game involving the National Championship.. I still to this day can't believe that Larry Coker didn't contest this..
@@ddollaz33 Butch Davis built that team and Larry C. Inherited it.. And since Butch was no longer there to coach and sign the players, Miami gradually went downhill. Would be nice to see Miami do it once again... It's been a long time in the making...
Dan "Winslow" Fouts repeatedly screamed "bad call!!!" like the unprofessional hack he is. Keith Jackson pointed out that there was CLEARLY defensive holding on the play. Let's also ignore that this play was later reviewed by the head of Big 12 officiating who concluded that the Miami DB (Glen Sharpe) committed 4 penalties on the play...2 defensive holding, 2 P.I., each results in half the distance to the goal, and an automatic 1st down. You lost the game. Ohio State beat you. It's over. It's done.
When everyone tells you you're going to win and you don't, you naturally will feel like you were cheated out of it or it was stolen from you. This game called properly ends in regulation with a complete pass to Gamble and a fresh set of downs to kneel out. Any "contest" is just anti-OSU's way of dealing with it.
@@garyjones2582 ain’t happening brother This administration doesn’t care about winning wants they tore ob down it really over for the mighty canes all I got is memories of how great we used to be smfh
Look clown how many stupid ass people are on here good lord the call was pass interference Ok nobody cares about some random missed call by the Refs this call changed the course of history stupid. Your deflection does not work Ok the call was Pass interference which never happened enjoy your rigged National championship
@@faceones Ok let's talk about it in any court of law any other arguments would be baseless the fact is there was a flag thrown that cost Miami there 6 th National championship any other arguments would be futile .The fact is there was a flag thrown that changed the course of history this play needs to be revisited because history is based on facts not your deflection to avoid what actual happened. The bottom line is this was not pass interference that is the reason for the deflection Ok.This 2003 National championship will go down in history as tainted and highway robbery there should be a warrant issued for the NCAA and all of the OSU Buckeyes who played in that game. Again I have watched this play probably 30 times Gamble bobbled the ball then Gamble made contact with him Miami won the game bottom line. Just remember there is Miami Hurricanes blood all over that title because they earned it in battle it wasnt giving to them by some paid off Ref .Just Remember Willis Mcghee hurt his knee during this game damn near ended his career to lose a game like this on a bad call by a paid off ref is ridiculous. Just remember jesus hates liars and hypocrites this I can promise you that jesus will do the right thing and give the title back to the actual owners the 2003 Miami Hurricanes and Jesus will expose the liars who were bought and paid for by the OSU Buckeyes to Rigg that game against the Hurricanes. The 2003 National championship will go down in history as tainted. The difference Is I can admit that the Refs missed a couple of holding calls but you criminals can not admit that ,that was not pass interference. I hope your fan base who accepted this rigged title go to hell with all you devil's who belong in hell .Jesus will be back soon he sees everything Ok
Someone needs a hug... LOL. Only a moron doesn’t see that if the officials had called the obvious holding on Gamble that led to the preceding punt, or given him credit for the catch he made, OSU would have run the clock out. There would have been no overtime. Then, the officials missed a blatant block in the back on the punt. And... the defender held Gamble going into the end zone at the very least. It was a good call. Refs finally called the cheating Hurricanes for a penalty. It was glorious! Also the beginning of the downfall of Miami football. Sweet!!!!!
@@DavidG-td9gi dude that was not holding stupid. Secondly the call was Pass interference stupid. We all know it was not pass interference OK bottom line is the whistle blow the players ran on the field Miami won that game fair and square they didn't need a ref to rig a game like OSU did.Again the call was pass interference.Stop fucking deflecting we all know by the video he wasnt held or the bullshit facemask you clowns keep complaining about.This guy who did this video did a excellent job at exposing the NCAA and the Ohio State Suckeyes as fugitives from justice they both should be charged with crimes of highway robbery .
Looking back on it, Miami should have won 3 years in a row, 2000, 2001, 2002. The year 2000, the BCS standings were 1 Oklahoma 2 Florida State 3 Miami, and Miami and Florida State were both 11-1 and Miami beat Florida State head to head. But because the NCAA and the people who do the polls every week hate Miami, They made Oklahoma play Florida State instead of Miami whom they should have played. No surprise Florida State only scored 2 points in the Championship game and lost 13-2 to Oklahoma. Miami would have beat Oklahoma that year if the polls gave them a chance to play them, so they got screwed in 2000. They won in 2001 which they had the best team. Then 2002 the national championship game was clearly over, then a crooked referee throws a bad late flag, which took the championship away from Miami in 2002.
+MikeNJ27 How do you know Miami would have beat Oklahoma in 2000? How do you know they wouldn't have lost just like they did two years later to Ohio State?
+MikeNJ27 I and most everyone else alive believed that Miami should have been ranked #2 above FSU,. However, "people's hatred" of Miami had nothing to do with FSU overtaking the #2 slot in order to be included in the championship game against Oklahoma. The BCS polls at this time consisted of three equally weighted elements: (1) AP Poll, (2) ESPN/Coaches Poll, and (3) Computer Rankings (the average of eight computer models). Only the AP Poll and the ESPN poll contained the "human elements", and both of these polls had Miami ranked #2. However, the computer rankings had FSU, Oklahoma, and Miami ranked #1, #2, and #3, respectively, and it was these computer models which are void of emotions that tilted the final poll in favor of FSU. Show less
The NCAA acted like losing to Washington by one possession is the same as losing to Fresno State. Washington was ranked in the top 7 at the time. So it was like a slap in the face to Washington and Miami, ranking Miami number 3 instead of 2.
The same thing happened to Oregon the year they lost to Stanford by 3 points in Overtime. Oregon should have played Alabama. The 4 team playoff is good for the league.
LMFAO @ All the Ohio St fans on here trying to justify this obvious bogus PI call by saying Miami was getting all the calls during the game... You mean like all the non-calls for holding in the Ohio St OL all game long, several late hits not called on Ohio St, and that bogus decision to give possession of Sean Taylor's INT to Clarrett despite that Taylor never lost possession until he had it ripped out of his hands on the ground. The refs were against Miami winning all game long.
The reason it looked like pass interference was Chris Gamble dropped the ball and how he was positioned, the defender was in between his path (wouldnt have caught it anyway) and the ball. So it looks like there was interference.. I always thought once a receiver tips the ball, contact is allowed. I guess they felt he should have been given a chance to try and catch the ball again.. FOH!! That is the worst call ever made with everything on the line!!
That's exactly why it's not pass interference, that quarterback did not throw that ball accurately enough to get a pass interference call. gamble's not making that catch if my sister is playing D.. just watched the U part II on Netflix, I completely forgot they had all cleared bench and celebrated and had the fireworks and everything and got called back that's Pretty insane.
we buckeye fans know and can prove we won the game at the end of regulation, we know Miami should have never got the ball back to tie the score, just sad no one outside of ohio knows this.
MikeNJ27 you out your mind? the ball is in his hands, not only is his foot inbounds half his body is in before he rolls out. and you are not allowed to purposely grab a handful of a players jersey to stop them from juking your ass and blowing by you. it was a first down and buckeyes run out the clock. only the buckeyes got screwed. if you cant score on 1st and goal at the 1 yard line i am sorry but your not the better team.
I'm not going to lie, the pass interference call wasn't amazing. But it was just as useful as the defensive holding which easily could've been made. And it doesn't do justice to how many times OSU was fucked over in the regular 4 quarters.
They held The Ohio State defense ALL. GAME. LONG. man. Jerseys stretched ALL NIGHT to keep them from Dorsey. Rewatch Miami's first drive, 1st & 2nd downs were both a loss, they quickly realized they had no choice. PI is just a lesson in human psychology.
"Initially, it actually looked like Coker's Hurricanes would benefit from the decisions of the referees, as replays showed Chris Gamble was clearly held by Hurricane defender Kelly Jennings on a third down play, where a first down would have allowed the Buckeye offense to sit on the ball and wind out the remainder of the clock. Instead, the officials missed the holding call, allowing the Hurricanes to get one more chance at the ball where they drove down the field and tied it with a field goal, sending the championship game into overtime."
@@Tommyitalianlife bruh I totally agree with you on this I have saw the truth since this happened. For a ref to actually make a call which obviously was not pass interference this title should be stripped from OSU immediately and given to the U ASAP.
I HATE BOTH TEAMS. ..BUT EASILY THE WORST CALL IN NCAA HISTORY. IT GAVE A TROPHY TO A TEAM THAT WAS BEAT BY THE CHAMPION. NO INTERFERANCE HAPPENED AND MOST OS FANS SEEM TO REALIZE THAT AND SO THEY START SCREAMING HOLDING, FACEMASK ETC. CAUSE THATS ALL THEY GOT!
@@carlspackling7159 Ohio State fans using that to hang on to knowing they bought and paid for a national championship. wonder how many rings and jerseys that ref got after the game to sell at auctions?
I remember this game very well. Miami was like this decades Alabama back then, and so naturally I rooted for OSU. But I remember thinking it was still a BS call. Watching it again 20 years later and I still think the same. Saying that it’s some kind of make up call or karma for a previous unrelated blown call is not a valid reason.
It’s okay. Clarett should have been ineligible at the time but the university was “not aware at the time.” So there was plenty of stuff going on besides this play.
No instant replay, with instant replay would have overturned the call of passing interference. The sports announcer agreed after seeing angles of play. Miami Hurricanes football team would been National Champions for 2nd year in a row could have been 3 National Championship in a row if they in the BCS rules tiebreaker Miami Hurricanes beat FSU Seminoles where they played Oklahoma in Orange Bowl they lost 13-2. Ev
@ragzy02 OSU were the first team ever to go 14-0, ended their season by winning a game when they were 11.5 points underdogs, and won that game by having a near perfect game plan. So you call them "Weak" and say that Miami was the "greatest college football team of all time". Late in the 4th quarter, the Buckeyes got a 3rd down pass called incomplete. It was a bad call. A correct call means that OSU wins in regulation. That call was the only reason for overtime. Give OSU some credit, damn.
David Kolb as a Miami fan I gotta say Larry Coker was the one who destroyed our dynasty if Butch Davis never left maybe Miami would have a few more good seasons
No instant replay, with instant replay would have overturned the call of passing interference. The sports announcer agreed after seeing angles of play. Miami Hurricanes would won 3 National Championship in a row if they in the BCS rules tiebreaker Miami Hurricanes beat FSU Seminoles where they played Oklahoma in Orange Bowl they lost 13-2. And pass interference call on if they had Instant Replay would have overturned the pass interference call Miami Hurricanes would have won 24-17 over Ohio State Hoosiers for their 3rd National Championship.
With about 2:15 left, Gamble gets held twice (neither are called) and catches a pass inbounds for a first down. He's ruled "out of bounds". If there was replay challenges back then, OSU get s a first down, and wins in regulation 17-14. That the game even got to OT for Miami fans to complain about the P.I. call, was a gift. I think OSU fans need to beat this drum until that CLEARLY bad call becomes a infamous as the P.I call that was actually correct.
Sorry, there is a difference between missing a call and blowing a call. Line judge did not throw flag. Flag comes in late. Fourth and 5, game on the line, if in doubt, keep the flag in your pocket. You can go back and find any number of missed or bad calls in this game but the fact remains this was this bad call cost one team the game.
@@dr.caride920 Not really. They both have the same effect. That "missed call" stopped OSU from winning in regulation and avoiding us talking about this 20 years later. I have this game on DVD, and the "number of missed calls" is heavily in Miami's favor. So, how exactly is missed call somehow not as bad as a blown call? The PI the Rams committed on the Saints in that NFC title game was not a "blown call" It was a"missed call". Are you saying that didn't affect the games outcome simply because no flag was thrown? Wow..the denial 20 years alter is incredible. hey, as an OSU fan, I saw several missed calls vs UGA in the Peach Bowl I didn't like them, but I've accepted it and moved on. (And this is just 3 days after) I guess Miami fans can't do that.
@@GodfatherInOhio dude you guys are on drugs prove to me it was holding stop deflecting the call was pass interference not holding. Your argument is baseless. This is why you guys dont want to talk about the actual call which was NOT Pass interference your championship is tainted with the blood of the Miami Hurricanes who are the actual owners of that title. Its called highway robbery enjoy your tainted title stupid
@@taburdine1 Just shut up. You're in the minority here, ass hat. No one outside of your pussy ass fanbase thinks Cryami was screwed. I know you're jealous because Cryami hasn't done jack shit since this game but that's your own problem.
As I've said to every Miami fan - go back to regular time before UM tied the game with a field goal. Gamble was held TWICE on the same play in front of the same official. Also - there was not a replay when Gamble still caught the ball. Go back and watch the video. If the official is actually competent, Buck have a first down for defensive holding and probably run out the clock.
The interference is clearly visible at around the 1:42 mark. As Gamble goes to make his cut Sharp knows he is beat and grabs Gamble's left shoulder. The Ref sees this and initially calls holding soon after realizing the ball was in the air, thus changing his mind to P.I. Pretty simple really.
Excellent comment Charlie and you are one hundred percent correct. It is simple, Dan Fouts just made it complicated for everyone because the airhead was looking at the wrong part of the play. I never liked Fouts as a commentator. Not surprised he never won a superbowl.
Also, watch the OSU 3rd and 6 play in the fourth qtr with 2:30 left in the game. Gamble was held...should have been a penalty AND he caught the ball while getting a knee and hip in bounds. It was called incomplete and the Buckeyes punted on 4th down and Miami tied it up with 3 seconds to go. If the correct call is made, the Buckeyes could have ran the clock out and won in regulation. There is no guarantee of that but it would have been likely with a first down and less than 2:30 to go. Instead, the game goes into OT where this play happened...which I proved was PI...or it could have been holding. Either way, it still would be a penalty in the end zone. Tainted?...I think not. Helped by the refs?...I think not. Classic Michigan fan who cant let go of any success OSU has. Go Bucks!!
Its amazing how many people overlook this situation you refer to. Shouldn't have even been an overtime !! OSU WINS IN REGULATION IF 3rd down is called correctly.
I hate Miami and Ohio State and watched this game. This wasnt the only bad call of the game. But this was a HORRENDOUS call that cost Miami dearly. ROLL TIDE !!!
I generally follow nfl football and its first time i see this play but to be honest im surprised they call pass interference. Yeah there was contact but it really wasnt much. Watch the Broncos and youll realize how much more contact they get away with
The only thing that matters is that Miami came in as they ALWAYS have, full of arrogance and hubris and disrespect (not just the players, the whole organization, fans included). And the only point I'm making about that is, when a team like that loses the game, it's like watching any villain get taken down. Great champions have respect, and Miami tends to forget that whenever they're on the top.
The refs also missed a block in the back on Miami's long punt return that set up the game-tying field goal. How Cryami fans can scream "robbery!" about this game is beyond me. If OSU had lost, it would have been true robbery.
I love how one can definitively say "gamble touched the ball before sharpe made contact" while at the same time showing a clip where gamble, and sharpe's arms, arent even visible in the frame WHILE THE BALL IS IN MIDAIR I mean sure, its possible there was still no contact during that period. but there was a certain lack of proof in that video
Keith Jackson called the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl national championship game and did not take it seriously and witnessed the pass interference call that cost the Miami (FL) Hurricanes college football team back-to-back undefeated seasons and back-to-back national championships. May Keith Jackson rest in peace.
What people have never gotten is the infraction happened off camera. At the bottom of the screen you see the WR disappear from the screen, then the QB releases the ball. The hold happens then, before WR/CB are on camera. There are other angles that exist that CLEARLY show the infraction. This was confirmed to be the correct call by the Big Ten, Big 12, 3 professional refs associations, and several independent media outlets.
People always forget the only reason Miami got the ball back late in the fourth was a blown holding call by a Miami DB on Chris Gamble. If they don't miss that ball, OSU keeps the ball and Miami probably never gets it back.
"clearly he wasn't sure, and therefore shouldn't have thrown a flag on fourth down in overtime of a national championship game." or "clearly he wasn't sure, and therefore should have thrown a flag on fourth down in overtime of a national championship game." both perfectly valid statements
Shouldnt have even went to OT, Refs blew gambles complete catch out of bounds on 3rd down,Osu would have ran the clock out,Cryamia is lucky it even went to Ot,BITCHES..
Tainted? Nope 100 percent legit. Miami had a chance to stop ohio state and had another overtime to win the game. Also, a call was missed earlier which could have resulted in ohio state winning the game earlier.
ChillyWilly007 winning or for the tie? Doesn’t matter, no game is perfectly officiated but this was clearly controversial. Miami got robbed on this one and yes, the fact that even now this call showcases as a segment on sports media, it means it’s still talked about and tainted.
Ohio State fan will forever twist himself into the most ridiculous contortions to avoid having to admit the obvious. Buckeye fan, YOU GOT OVER. Everybody on the planet knows it. The Chip is tainted. Accept it.
Gamble tried to push off which is why he didn't catch the ball and then the ref bailed him out. Not hard to see it for what it is. Doesn't change the outcome to admit it. I'm not a fan of either team by the way.
@@HuddshouseofRockNMetal not all of us. I mean literally we have as many championships we've played for as Ohio State. What I will complain about is the helmet on the gahey's knee on an unnecessary tackle to in the game, that is objectively dangerous targeting within 10 to injure in a game that's already over. You can explain that one if you have any kind of explanation. That's the only thing I was ever upset about as a hurricane's fan. I mean I get it you can't stop the guy all night but he's not going to win the game and two plays with less than a minute left. That's Bush League bullshit. Thank God he's a beast and ended up having a career. Cuz I would have been real shitty
@@HuddshouseofRockNMetal not all fans. We should have beat you all down. Us losing that game was more ourselves than anything else. But go ahead and watch the replay of that hit on McGehee at the end of the game that was unnecessary and tell me that wasn't intentional. Dude put his full helmet and weight literally on Willis's knee. That's Bush League bullshit. Where the hurricanes were supposed to be the bad guys and we won't even do that kind of shit
He just dropped it. This was one of the absolute most flagrant biased cheat calls since Ive been watching college football for the last 40 years. Miami was robbed and OSU got a cheap Natty. And the Buckeye fans want to deflect to phantom no calls.
Coming from a fellow cornerback.It's not PI or Holding. He jammed the receiver at the line of scrimmage(legal) you are able to do this from the line of scrimmage to 5 yards downfield. It wasn't a penalty at all jus great physical coverage.
Haha, I was looking this up for a Miami buddy of mine and stumbled upon your comment today.. bro, as a CB you know you can't have your hands on a WR past the 5 yard mark. He makes contact at the line and maintains contact into the endzone. At the very least it was Defensive holding, but because he had his hands on him with the ball in the air it was PI. If you're still sticking to your comment, ya never played the game. I played at the collegiate level. I understand the game. After 5 yards hands off buddy
This call happened in overtime, dummy. This game wouldn't have gone to overtime if the refs didn't miss 4 calls that favored Cryami: 1. Gamble's jersey being yanked on TWICE 2. On that same play, Gamble makes a catch in bounds but the refs rule him out of bounds. If replay review existed back then, the call would have been reversed. 3. Again on that same play, Krenzel gets shoved to the ground way after releasing the ball. No flag for roughing the passer. 4. Missed block in the back on Cryami's long punt return that set up the tying field goal.
@@GreenDay1981, Suckeye fans like you have been justifying this obvious cheating ref since the day it happened. You're not fooling anyone. We know you'd take that NC any way you could get it and if it took a cheating ref so be it.
I'm an OU fan, but I have to give it up for Miami of 2001 and 2002.Absolutely, without a doubt, THE most talented team to ever suit up a college uniform. @MPettrozzaIsGod.Ohio State had a total of 267 yards,2.8 avg. per rush,9 penalties,6 punts, and Krenzel was7 for 21for 122 yards 0TDs and 2 INTs.Clarett had 23 rushes for 47 yards! I'm not saying Ohio State was a 'bad' team, just the 'weakest' national champion(and the luckiest)I've ever witnessed. Being lucky is truly better than being good!
Um....sorry but I attended the game. It was an obvious penalty and it occurred at the line of scrimmage. It is from the opposite camera angle, as the television camera is behind the line of scrimmage and not in front of it when it occurred. Everyone at home on their couch who doesn't like Ohio State always thinks they know it didn't happen, when they are actually full of crap. I watched it happen and so did everyone there telling the truth. You can't still be jamming a receiver while the ball is in the air. And, he didn't just jam him. He held him (you can see him start to reach up into Gamble in nothing resembling a pushing or jamming motion but a grabbing one). And, he doesn't let loose until Gamble pulls away himself and makes his way to the endzone. Even if the ref had determined it was defensive holding (and not just a jam) instead of pass interference, it still would have resulted in a first down for Ohio State. The camera does not show when the ball was thrown. By the way, when Ohio State was driving to put the game away, Miami also grabbed and pulled a fistful of jersey clearly on camera on third down play and it was not called. They then got the ball back and sent it to overtime. The game should have never gone to overtime. They were holding Ohio State receivers all night. You can see at least one more example of this on camera if you watch the game in its entirety. So, all the Ohio State haters need to STFU.
Gamble had no chance of making that catch, this is a pretty good video on this horrible call. I've seen more contact in plenty of college and pro games that goes uncalled. That should have come down to the line judges call.
Linesman is assigned the receiver in the slot. FJ is assigned the wide out to his side. That the Linesman doesn't flag i insignificant as his eyes are on his man until the end.
All that you need to do here is to be realistic,meaning that there are many Ohio State fans that will make negative remarks about this comment(s). Also be realistic about the fact that whether you're a Miami or Ohio State fan you know for a fact that this pass interference should never have been called on such a decisive point in a game! That is just logical for Buckeye and Canes fans. In fact, that is well understood and accepted by any football fan that understands this sport. Both players here had a clear and perfect chance to go after this ball. The Buckeye receiver obviously beat the Miami defender and he just simply dropped a catchable ball leaving the authority the tough task of deciding the outcome to the biggest game of that season. Again, these folks (the referees) shouldn't have the right to decide it unless it would have been a close or certain call to make. By the way I'm a Seminole fan,that shows you that even though I was happy that the Canes lost I fully understand that they were robbed in a huge way! All of the Miami Hurricanes football program's scandal(s) never felt right and were never accepted by most throughout the country. That is mainly what led to this bad call along with other crucial calls against this program, and there could very well be more underway for this team. So get ready Hurricane fans,because they will always hold a grudge against you! Envy will always take part of human activities! Yes even in sports! The U will eventually bounce back some day but my Noles have the chance to shine now!
Fine. Lets just agree Ohio State should have won in regulation, 17-14. There was alot less controversial BS that allowed the game to go to overtime. Roscoe Parrish got that nifty punt return due to an illegal block in the back, for example. Ohio State had to punt in the first place due to another blown call on the previous play.
false...at 1:44 it is clear that Gamble's jersey is being pulled around from his left side. You can't see it from the closer angle down on the sideline but you can see it from the further view at 1:40. When Gamble cuts back, his jersey was pulled because Sharpe was fooled by the fade
Some dynasty, 1 national title to show for it and you should've been stripped of it if not for a poorly handled investigation by the NCAA. Not even close to one of the worst calls of all time. It was the right call
Cane fan here after they say we cheated against VT and Cal 🫢🫳🏾 we was screwed here but they want us to shut up about this bad call that caused us the title so to all you hating on the Canes being 6-0 shut the hell up and play ball I don't want to hear dog shit about somebody cheating we been getting screwed since the camouflage days
Since when do they throw the flag the instant of a foul? It always comes in a couple seconds later. That's not an argument. Plus, until 2008, that's a facemask, so I guess if they blew the pass interference call in Ohio States favor, they simultaneously blew the facemask penalty in Miami's favor. Ohio State won, get over it.
not the argument, are you really that delusional? lack sportsmanship? facemask?the cheater called PI. Every football expert says this is a bad call, and vegas insiders consider this a staged game. Ohio st fans will accept anything to be relevant
@@cfrench507 Spot On. You can slow it down to .25 and see it was impossible for the ref to make that call with any confidence at all. Keith Jackson tried to make the argument, well there was a penalty at the line so it worked itself out. Dan Fouts said they called PI, Keith. You can't right a wrong with another wrong. I believe the TX/USC game was staged. No way in hell Carroll did not know Vince was gonna run to the right. Staged because college football needed a new champion. People were sick of USC.
Horrible call. Miami got robbed. The Suckeyes got bailed out by the refs. Gamble could have caught that before any contact was made. The official closest to the play called incomplete, and then suddenly a delayed flag appears. Total bullshit. One of the worst calls I've ever seen.
MattBuckeyeGuy Just because Miami was heavily favored doesn't mean it shouldn't have been close. We see in college football all the time, teams rising up to make it a game. Ohio State is a big school and was a Conference Champ, not some lightweight. Fact is, the ref didn't consider that the contact made was legal within 5 yds. It's very similar to the No Call in SB XLVII where Crabtree of SF was jamed close to the endzone by the Baltimoe DB. It wasn't a penalty but everyone who isn't use to seeing the 5 yd chuck zone being used that close to the endzone thought it was.
GreenDay1981 Great response GreenDay...AG gives FACTS along with his opinion...and yet...NO FACTS at all from you....and then you accuse him of bitching! LOL So what...exactly..would you call your comment?? Tell all of us why OS should have won in regulation and how the refs "allowed" AG ...or anyone else...to send it to OT?

Very interesting how you cut out the fact that the Ref who threw the flag motioned both DEFENSIVE HOLDING AND DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. Are you going to debunk that fact??
Yep. The call should have been def holding like the back judge originally signaled lol
I love how everyone focuses on this call that literally could have gone either way, but seem to forget about some of the trash calls and nocalls during the rest of the game.
"3rd & wrong" or "the mugging of Chris Gamble" ends the game in regulation w/o controversy.
Ever heard of Bill Buckner? Its a big deal because if you watch enough sports you know the difference is one or two plays
Either way? You're clueless

Lol. He cuts the video on the zoom in right before the CB grabbed the WR jersey at the shoulder pads and held
It clearly states in the rulebook that a facemask can be grabbed and pulled if it's 4th down in an important game.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
No pass interference, receivers and cornerbacks bump on every play going up for a pass like this. There was no pulling, or anything stopping him from catching it. Just dropped it.
***** but there was a facemask against OSU at the end of the play should've been called.
How about the face mask?
Defensive holding puts the ball at the 2.5 with a first and goal. and there was definitely defensive holding
Eagle027 Face mask was after Gamble dropped the ball. The face mask was incidental, anyway, as Gamble's momentum was carrying him into Glenn Sharpe after he dropped the ball.
***** It's called bump and run coverage. That's not holding. See that in every game when team's are near the goal line. Unless the defender actually prevents the receiver from getting off the line by grabbing him and not letting go, it's not holding, and therefore not a flag.
Gamble simply dropped the pass, before he and Glenn Sharpe even made contact.
The fact we're still arguing this call today pretty much confirms it...congrats Miami
So you’re not going to comment on Chris Gamble being held and how it was a no call?
Saints2 SuperBowl The fact that it’s still argued today doesn’t mean squat. That’s the point of controversy.. it’s usually argued about, regardless of topic, for decades, if not centuries. Even if there was no pass interference, there were two other penalties they could have thrown the flag on. Both would have resulted in a 1st and goal at the 1 for OSU.
Congrats Miami on what?? Miami lost clown. That was an obvious pass interference. Learn the rules of the game loser. I’m a Michigan fan I never thought I’d be defending the buckeyes so much
You should make a video showing the hold against Gamble and the catch he made that was called incomplete. This game rightfully should have ended in regulation with Ohio State taking a knee.
I've heard that nonsense before. The ref gave the Suckeyes that NC.

@@jacobshifflett5117 Miami fans don't want logic. They just want to cry because they haven't been relevant since. 👍
This game taught us games can be rigged by crooked officials and Im not even a Miami fan. One that was a tipped pass.. Second ball made contact with the WR before the defender made contact.
With about 2 minutes left in the game, Ohio State had a 3rd and 10. Krenzel completed a pass to Gamble, who was held multiple times on the play. The ref called it incomplete despite Gamble being clearly inbounds. That allowed Miami to get the tying field goal.
I don't want to hear anything about "crooked refs" when that also happened during this game.
No offense, but the timing of the flag has nothing to do with it. In fact, officials are encouraged to process information before throwing a flag.
C-A-T-S Cats! Cats! Cats! Thank you. Not every flag is thrown right away. Just because it isn't thrown, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a flag.
The official's greatest sin is anticipation. You have to SEE something before you can call it. Terry Porter, the official who called the penalty, SAW Sharpe interfering with Gamble. Just because he took a couple of extra seconds to throw the flag is irrelevant. Much better than throwing the flag immediately when nothing was there.
But their was nothing their LOL
kind of like your spelling ability
Tomas P thank you gator
you are also forgetting the play in regulation where gamble caught a pass for a 1st down with 2 minutes to go that was called incomplete when replay showed it a catch, game over in regulation 17-14 OSU
OSU fans are the worst.
It's simply the worst call i have ever seen in sports
Thank you
That 4th and 14 play happened in overtime. I was talking about 2 blown or missed calls in regulation that favored Miami. Might have? There is no room for "might haves" in football. Only "dids". The ref was 110% sure. He said so after the game too and the call was ruled correct by the National Association of Sports Officials. Sharpe did not stay off Gamble til the ball got there. The ref said Gamble was being held the whole time. I'll take the word of the guy who was 10 feet from the play.
You’re smoking dust. Did you even see the play? Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE understands that this was AN INCORRECT CALL!
Babbling about calls and/or no-calls earlier in the game is cute for crybabies to do. But 4th & goal in OT with the game on the line? Yeah, that call NEEDED to made correctly, and as a fan who hates Miami with a seething passion, I’m here to tell you it was butchered to hell & back! That was a beyond a gift from the Zebras. It was literally STEALING a National Title AWAY from Miami & GIVING it to a program that did NOT actually “win it” on the field! Insofar as Miami is perhaps the dirtiest, slimiest program that’s ever existed, people shed no tears for them on getting ROBBED. Couldn’t have happened to a better group of thugs. But let’s keep your roll in check. OSU fans have ZERO to brag about. They shouldn’t have even accepted the trophy.
@@johncooper2265 So you talked to everyone about the play? You have a brain the size of a grain of dust. Cryami was not robbed.
There may have been "hand checking", but no holding by Sharpe on Gamble. Are you dreaming this?
Yep, good call
Miami hasn't been the same since smh hopefully Mark richt can get miami back to the good ol days
With 2:18 remaining in the game with the Buckeyes leading 17-14, Ohio State faced a third-and-long. Chris Gamble ran a simple out route toward the Ohio State sideline but his jersey was grabbed by Miami cornerback Glen Sharpe, just as he made his cut. Replays clearly showed the infraction. But get this: Gamble caught Craig Krenzel’s pass INBOUNDS as he rolled toward the sideline.
Not only did the same official, Terry Porter, of the Big 12 Conference officiating crew, not call the defensive holding penalty, officials ruled the play an incomplete pass. Tape of the play clearly showed that Gamble caught the pass inbounds, but it was replayed only once during the broadcast of the game. Remember, this was before the replay system had been implemented in college football.
If the officials had called either the defensive holding or ruled the pass complete, Ohio State would have been awarded a first down, then Krenzel would have kneeled down three times to end the game. Ohio State would have won the game, 17-14, in regulation. Miami then kicked a game-tying field goal on the final play of regulation.
this game was probably the first football game that I can recall having memory of watching. Every now and then I come back to this play, and whenever I watch it, all I think is “holding at the very best“
i love how this video is based entirely around you don't call it at this moment. Well why not? its not like it 100% cost a national title for miami. they had the same chance as ohio state when we committed pass interference in the end zone. They just didn't capitalize. We did. Game Over
anyone with eyes outside of Ohio can just watch the video and see there was no penalty. ohio st needed a bad call in the endzone to win the game in ot...they needed mcgahee to hurt his knee to get to ot. and i rooted for ohio st to win that year.
Paul H to say there was no pass interference i get that. but to say there was no penalty whatsoever..... come on son......there was al least defensive holding which is an automatic first down as well and the ball is a half yard further out. Miami still had a chance to win but they didn't stop us and they didn't answer either. We won they lost. simple as that
@@paulh7026 Actually it was defensive holding, the defender is pulling Gamble's jersey and then wraps his arms around him long before the pass was even thrown.
Either way, first and goal from the 2.
Miami is lucky it even went to overtime for this call to have been made. On OSU's last possession in regulation, they completed a 3rd down pass to Gamble that was ruled out of bounds when replay showed that not to be the case. Plus, Miami had four chances inside the 5 yd line to score at the end and could not. They lose. Case closed.
Oh, you can also see it at 0:16. Or at 2:08 when this poster says, "Ball leaves Hand". What you cannot see on that angle is that when "Ball Leaves Hand" contact is still being made. Look at multiple angles since there is no one angle that has all of the players involved on the screen at the same time through the whole play.
One of the worst calls ever made in any sport professional collegiate or pop warner what a horrendous call.
I remember seeing this like it was yesterday and the announcers must have said at least 6 times that it was a bad call.. It's bad enough to lose a game on a penalty, but to lose it on a bad call in a game involving the National Championship.. I still to this day can't believe that Larry Coker didn't contest this..
Miami hasn’t been the same since this horrible call smfh hopefully the U comes back to life against Alabama
@@ddollaz33 Butch Davis built that team and Larry C. Inherited it.. And since Butch was no longer there to coach and sign the players, Miami gradually went downhill. Would be nice to see Miami do it once again... It's been a long time in the making...
Dan "Winslow" Fouts repeatedly screamed "bad call!!!" like the unprofessional hack he is. Keith Jackson pointed out that there was CLEARLY defensive holding on the play. Let's also ignore that this play was later reviewed by the head of Big 12 officiating who concluded that the Miami DB (Glen Sharpe) committed 4 penalties on the play...2 defensive holding, 2 P.I., each results in half the distance to the goal, and an automatic 1st down. You lost the game. Ohio State beat you. It's over. It's done.
When everyone tells you you're going to win and you don't, you naturally will feel like you were cheated out of it or it was stolen from you.
This game called properly ends in regulation with a complete pass to Gamble and a fresh set of downs to kneel out.
Any "contest" is just anti-OSU's way of dealing with it.
@@garyjones2582 ain’t happening brother This administration doesn’t care about winning wants they tore ob down it really over for the mighty canes all I got is memories of how great we used to be smfh

Does anyone want to talk about all the missed calls in the game before this? Miami had it coming at some point.
They never will

@@faceones Ok let's talk about it in any court of law any other arguments would be baseless the fact is there was a flag thrown that cost Miami there 6 th National championship any other arguments would be futile .The fact is there was a flag thrown that changed the course of history this play needs to be revisited because history is based on facts not your deflection to avoid what actual happened. The bottom line is this was not pass interference that is the reason for the deflection Ok.This 2003 National championship will go down in history as tainted and highway robbery there should be a warrant issued for the NCAA and all of the OSU Buckeyes who played in that game. Again I have watched this play probably 30 times Gamble bobbled the ball then Gamble made contact with him Miami won the game bottom line. Just remember there is Miami Hurricanes blood all over that title because they earned it in battle it wasnt giving to them by some paid off Ref .Just Remember Willis Mcghee hurt his knee during this game damn near ended his career to lose a game like this on a bad call by a paid off ref is ridiculous. Just remember jesus hates liars and hypocrites this I can promise you that jesus will do the right thing and give the title back to the actual owners the 2003 Miami Hurricanes and Jesus will expose the liars who were bought and paid for by the OSU Buckeyes to Rigg that game against the Hurricanes. The 2003 National championship will go down in history as tainted. The difference Is I can admit that the Refs missed a couple of holding calls but you criminals can not admit that ,that was not pass interference. I hope your fan base who accepted this rigged title go to hell with all you devil's who belong in hell .Jesus will be back soon he sees everything Ok
Someone needs a hug... LOL. Only a moron doesn’t see that if the officials had called the obvious holding on Gamble that led to the preceding punt, or given him credit for the catch he made, OSU would have run the clock out. There would have been no overtime. Then, the officials missed a blatant block in the back on the punt. And... the defender held Gamble going into the end zone at the very least. It was a good call. Refs finally called the cheating Hurricanes for a penalty. It was glorious! Also the beginning of the downfall of Miami football. Sweet!!!!!
@@DavidG-td9gi dude that was not holding stupid. Secondly the call was Pass interference stupid. We all know it was not pass interference OK bottom line is the whistle blow the players ran on the field Miami won that game fair and square they didn't need a ref to rig a game like OSU did.Again the call was pass interference.Stop fucking deflecting we all know by the video he wasnt held or the bullshit facemask you clowns keep complaining about.This guy who did this video did a excellent job at exposing the NCAA and the Ohio State Suckeyes as fugitives from justice they both should be charged with crimes of highway robbery .
That was pass interference and they cost my team the National Championship 🏆 still pisses me off to this day GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!
You can tell still to this day how OSU fans know they stole a national championship by the hate you see in some of these comments
What about the missed pi against gamble when ohio state was up 3 with 2 minutes left in the game?
Looking back on it, Miami should have won 3 years in a row, 2000, 2001, 2002. The year 2000, the BCS standings were 1 Oklahoma 2 Florida State 3 Miami, and Miami and Florida State were both 11-1 and Miami beat Florida State head to head. But because the NCAA and the people who do the polls every week hate Miami, They made Oklahoma play Florida State instead of Miami whom they should have played. No surprise Florida State only scored 2 points in the Championship game and lost 13-2 to Oklahoma. Miami would have beat Oklahoma that year if the polls gave them a chance to play them, so they got screwed in 2000. They won in 2001 which they had the best team. Then 2002 the national championship game was clearly over, then a crooked referee throws a bad late flag, which took the championship away from Miami in 2002.
+MikeNJ27 How do you know Miami would have beat Oklahoma in 2000? How do you know they wouldn't have lost just like they did two years later to Ohio State?
+MikeNJ27 I and most everyone else alive believed that Miami should have been ranked #2 above FSU,. However, "people's hatred" of Miami had nothing to do with FSU overtaking the #2 slot in order to be included in the championship game against Oklahoma.
The BCS polls at this time consisted of three equally weighted elements: (1) AP Poll, (2) ESPN/Coaches Poll, and (3) Computer Rankings (the average of eight computer models). Only the AP Poll and the ESPN poll contained the "human elements", and both of these polls had Miami ranked #2. However, the computer rankings had FSU, Oklahoma, and Miami ranked #1, #2, and #3, respectively, and it was these computer models which are void of emotions that tilted the final poll in favor of FSU.
Show less
The NCAA acted like losing to Washington by one possession is the same as losing to Fresno State. Washington was ranked in the top 7 at the time. So it was like a slap in the face to Washington and Miami, ranking Miami number 3 instead of 2.
The same thing happened to Oregon the year they lost to Stanford by 3 points in Overtime. Oregon should have played Alabama. The 4 team playoff is good for the league.
+MikeNJ27 im a buckeye, but ur kinda right. sharp hit gamble a few split seconds after gamble had the ball.
As an Ohio State fan, it was not a penalty for pass interference.
LMFAO @ All the Ohio St fans on here trying to justify this obvious bogus PI call by saying Miami was getting all the calls during the game... You mean like all the non-calls for holding in the Ohio St OL all game long, several late hits not called on Ohio St, and that bogus decision to give possession of Sean Taylor's INT to Clarrett despite that Taylor never lost possession until he had it ripped out of his hands on the ground. The refs were against Miami winning all game long.
Tough call. If anything it was a hold but probably should of been a no call.
Call was PI
The reason it looked like pass interference was Chris Gamble dropped the ball and how he was positioned, the defender was in between his path (wouldnt have caught it anyway) and the ball. So it looks like there was interference.. I always thought once a receiver tips the ball, contact is allowed. I guess they felt he should have been given a chance to try and catch the ball again.. FOH!! That is the worst call ever made with everything on the line!!
That's exactly why it's not pass interference, that quarterback did not throw that ball accurately enough to get a pass interference call. gamble's not making that catch if my sister is playing D.. just watched the U part II on Netflix, I completely forgot they had all cleared bench and celebrated and had the fireworks and everything and got called back that's Pretty insane.
we buckeye fans know and can prove we won the game at the end of regulation, we know Miami should have never got the ball back to tie the score, just sad no one outside of ohio knows this.
+jasartrip9598 Gamble is out of bounds. And you are looking for a flag on 3rd and 7. Its tackle football not ballet.
MikeNJ27 you out your mind? the ball is in his hands, not only is his foot inbounds half his body is in before he rolls out. and you are not allowed to purposely grab a handful of a players jersey to stop them from juking your ass and blowing by you. it was a first down and buckeyes run out the clock. only the buckeyes got screwed. if you cant score on 1st and goal at the 1 yard line i am sorry but your not the better team.

jake bash You're produced more convicts, I know that.
+GreenDay1981 and you have produced more busts.
I'm not going to lie, the pass interference call wasn't amazing. But it was just as useful as the defensive holding which easily could've been made. And it doesn't do justice to how many times OSU was fucked over in the regular 4 quarters.
They held The Ohio State defense ALL. GAME. LONG. man.
Jerseys stretched ALL NIGHT to keep them from Dorsey. Rewatch Miami's first drive, 1st & 2nd downs were both a loss, they quickly realized they had no choice.
PI is just a lesson in human psychology.
Great video I have been a Hurricanes fan for a very long time and I remember that game and we got screwed of a National Championship.
"Initially, it actually looked like Coker's Hurricanes would benefit from the decisions of the referees, as replays showed Chris Gamble was clearly held by Hurricane defender Kelly Jennings on a third down play, where a first down would have allowed the Buckeye offense to sit on the ball and wind out the remainder of the clock. Instead, the officials missed the holding call, allowing the Hurricanes to get one more chance at the ball where they drove down the field and tied it with a field goal, sending the championship game into overtime."

I remember this game very well. Miami was like this decades Alabama back then, and so naturally I rooted for OSU. But I remember thinking it was still a BS call. Watching it again 20 years later and I still think the same. Saying that it’s some kind of make up call or karma for a previous unrelated blown call is not a valid reason.
Karma
You guys know that the referee won an award for making that call the ncaa went back and reviewed, they said that it was the right call.
NCAA giving an award for doing something allegedly right is kinda hilarious. next to the Mafia they are the biggest gang of crooks in the USA.
It’s okay. Clarett should have been ineligible at the time but the university was “not aware at the time.” So there was plenty of stuff going on besides this play.
Ball was tipped at the line before Gamble even made contact with it. Horrible call Miami should have won
It's so close. Not worth throwing the flag. Especially by a ref that is on the opposite side. Contact was minimal.
No instant replay, with instant replay would have overturned the call of passing interference. The sports announcer agreed after seeing angles of play.

@ragzy02 OSU were the first team ever to go 14-0, ended their season by winning a game when they were 11.5 points underdogs, and won that game by having a near perfect game plan. So you call them "Weak" and say that Miami was the "greatest college football team of all time". Late in the 4th quarter, the Buckeyes got a 3rd down pass called incomplete. It was a bad call. A correct call means that OSU wins in regulation. That call was the only reason for overtime. Give OSU some credit, damn.
This call pretty much single handedly destroyed the miami dynasty. I can’t belive it’s still under debate today...............
David Kolb as a Miami fan I gotta say Larry Coker was the one who destroyed our dynasty if Butch Davis never left maybe Miami would have a few more good seasons

nope, even today you cant review a penalty, unless its targetting
With about 2:15 left, Gamble gets held twice (neither are called) and catches a pass inbounds for a first down. He's ruled "out of bounds". If there was replay challenges back then, OSU get s a first down, and wins in regulation 17-14. That the game even got to OT for Miami fans to complain about the P.I. call, was a gift. I think OSU fans need to beat this drum until that CLEARLY bad call becomes a infamous as the P.I call that was actually correct.
Sorry, there is a difference between missing a call and blowing a call. Line judge did not throw flag. Flag comes in late. Fourth and 5, game on the line, if in doubt, keep the flag in your pocket. You can go back and find any number of missed or bad calls in this game but the fact remains this was this bad call cost one team the game.
@@dr.caride920 Not really. They both have the same effect. That "missed call" stopped OSU from winning in regulation and avoiding us talking about this 20 years later. I have this game on DVD, and the "number of missed calls" is heavily in Miami's favor. So, how exactly is missed call somehow not as bad as a blown call? The PI the Rams committed on the Saints in that NFC title game was not a "blown call" It was a"missed call". Are you saying that didn't affect the games outcome simply because no flag was thrown? Wow..the denial 20 years alter is incredible. hey, as an OSU fan, I saw several missed calls vs UGA in the Peach Bowl I didn't like them, but I've accepted it and moved on. (And this is just 3 days after) I guess Miami fans can't do that.
It’s clear that at the start of the play there is holding.
BINGO! That's what the Miami people never talked about. That DB could not guard Chris Gamble at all.
Even play-by-play man Keith Jackson called it "They could've called holding there". Nuff said.
@@GodfatherInOhio dude you guys are on drugs prove to me it was holding stop deflecting the call was pass interference not holding. Your argument is baseless. This is why you guys dont want to talk about the actual call which was NOT Pass interference your championship is tainted with the blood of the Miami Hurricanes who are the actual owners of that title. Its called highway robbery enjoy your tainted title stupid
@@taburdine1 Just shut up. You're in the minority here, ass hat. No one outside of your pussy ass fanbase thinks Cryami was screwed. I know you're jealous because Cryami hasn't done jack shit since this game but that's your own problem.
i think there could have been holding...... but can you point to the time stamp where that is CLEAR?
The referee admitted that he had made a heck of a bad call 😔😔😔
As I've said to every Miami fan - go back to regular time before UM tied the game with a field goal. Gamble was held TWICE on the same play in front of the same official. Also - there was not a replay when Gamble still caught the ball. Go back and watch the video. If the official is actually competent, Buck have a first down for defensive holding and probably run out the clock.
Miami fans don’t like to talk about that…..it hurts their “we were cheated” narrative which is clearly fake and false
Thats pass interference. Hes holding him and wrapping around him instead of playing the ball
It’s a tipped pass your argument is completely debunked by that stop😂
THE BALL WAS TIPPED U CAN DO LEGIT ANYTHING TO THE WR ONCE THE BALL IS TIPPED
The interference is clearly visible at around the 1:42 mark. As Gamble goes to make his cut Sharp knows he is beat and grabs Gamble's left shoulder. The Ref sees this and initially calls holding soon after realizing the ball was in the air, thus changing his mind to P.I. Pretty simple really.
Excellent comment Charlie and you are one hundred percent correct. It is simple, Dan Fouts just made it complicated for everyone because the airhead was looking at the wrong part of the play. I never liked Fouts as a commentator. Not surprised he never won a superbowl.
As an Oklahoma fan with no bias, I see no pass interference.
Thank you
3:40 refs are taught to make a call if they see it regardless of the magnitude of the game.
why look back at the ref if it clearly fell incomplete if you weren’t worried about getting flagged for something you did?
Also, watch the OSU 3rd and 6 play in the fourth qtr with 2:30 left in the game. Gamble was held...should have been a penalty AND he caught the ball while getting a knee and hip in bounds. It was called incomplete and the Buckeyes punted on 4th down and Miami tied it up with 3 seconds to go. If the correct call is made, the Buckeyes could have ran the clock out and won in regulation. There is no guarantee of that but it would have been likely with a first down and less than 2:30 to go. Instead, the game goes into OT where this play happened...which I proved was PI...or it could have been holding. Either way, it still would be a penalty in the end zone. Tainted?...I think not. Helped by the refs?...I think not. Classic Michigan fan who cant let go of any success OSU has. Go Bucks!!
Damn right! Cryami fans are fucking retards for thinking they were robbed.
Fact ^^^
Its amazing how many people overlook this situation you refer to. Shouldn't have even been an overtime !! OSU WINS IN REGULATION IF 3rd down is called correctly.
I hate Miami and Ohio State and watched this game. This wasnt the only bad call of the game. But this was a HORRENDOUS call that cost Miami dearly. ROLL TIDE !!!
I generally follow nfl football and its first time i see this play but to be honest im surprised they call pass interference. Yeah there was contact but it really wasnt much. Watch the Broncos and youll realize how much more contact they get away with
The only thing that matters is that Miami came in as they ALWAYS have, full of arrogance and hubris and disrespect (not just the players, the whole organization, fans included). And the only point I'm making about that is, when a team like that loses the game, it's like watching any villain get taken down. Great champions have respect, and Miami tends to forget that whenever they're on the top.
The refs also missed a block in the back on Miami's long punt return that set up the game-tying field goal. How Cryami fans can scream "robbery!" about this game is beyond me. If OSU had lost, it would have been true robbery.
I love how one can definitively say "gamble touched the ball before sharpe made contact" while at the same time showing a clip where gamble, and sharpe's arms, arent even visible in the frame WHILE THE BALL IS IN MIDAIR
I mean sure, its possible there was still no contact during that period. but there was a certain lack of proof in that video
No doubt. But go BUCKS!
Keith Jackson called the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl national championship game and did not take it seriously and witnessed the pass interference call that cost the Miami (FL) Hurricanes college football team back-to-back undefeated seasons and back-to-back national championships. May Keith Jackson rest in peace.
What people have never gotten is the infraction happened off camera. At the bottom of the screen you see the WR disappear from the screen, then the QB releases the ball. The hold happens then, before WR/CB are on camera. There are other angles that exist that CLEARLY show the infraction. This was confirmed to be the correct call by the Big Ten, Big 12, 3 professional refs associations, and several independent media outlets.
The only reason Ohio one was because they paid the referees
People always forget the only reason Miami got the ball back late in the fourth was a blown holding call by a Miami DB on Chris Gamble. If they don't miss that ball, OSU keeps the ball and Miami probably never gets it back.
They won't remember because that would mean they can't complain. Some losers just NEED a reason to complain.
Buckeye fan here. Yeah, it was a bad call but y'all should've stopped us on 4th and 14.
P.S. Hope The U gets back great again.
Bad call? U watching the same replay? The Miami defender looks like he's slow-dancing with the Buckeye WR. VERRY OBVIOUS!
@@GodfatherInOhio I'm just sayin it was a questionable call. They should have stopped us in regulation instead of cryin about this call.

both perfectly valid statements
Shouldnt have even went to OT, Refs blew gambles complete catch out of bounds on 3rd down,Osu would have ran the clock out,Cryamia is lucky it even went to Ot,BITCHES..
Gamble was out of bounds. It was an incomplete pass. You got blinders on.

Jbird Tasty Lmao stfu
Tainted? Nope 100 percent legit. Miami had a chance to stop ohio state and had another overtime to win the game. Also, a call was missed earlier which could have resulted in ohio state winning the game earlier.
ChillyWilly007 winning or for the tie? Doesn’t matter, no game is perfectly officiated but this was clearly controversial. Miami got robbed on this one and yes, the fact that even now this call showcases as a segment on sports media, it means it’s still talked about and tainted.
Ohio State fan will forever twist himself into the most ridiculous contortions to avoid having to admit the obvious. Buckeye fan, YOU GOT OVER. Everybody on the planet knows it. The Chip is tainted. Accept it.
Gamble tried to push off which is why he didn't catch the ball and then the ref bailed him out. Not hard to see it for what it is. Doesn't change the outcome to admit it. I'm not a fan of either team by the way.
Still pissed off about this call ! Go Canes
Good call
@@faceones it's not a good call it's the worst call in all sports history
Huckleberry Pry nope there was holding before the play and gamble caught the ball before that so your just blind
faceones ok I would have to agree this and the saints rams pass interference calls were both great calls
Google Account that was clear this was not he was early and holding on the play the game is over quit whining
Most ridiculous call in the history of college football. Even Gamble admits these many years later that he was not interfered with.
Cry
I love seeing the argument about this call, yet it is still one of the most controversial calls ever...wonder why?
The call is not controversial it was a rigged call for OSU bottom line .

@@HuddshouseofRockNMetal not all of us. I mean literally we have as many championships we've played for as Ohio State. What I will complain about is the helmet on the gahey's knee on an unnecessary tackle to in the game, that is objectively dangerous targeting within 10 to injure in a game that's already over. You can explain that one if you have any kind of explanation. That's the only thing I was ever upset about as a hurricane's fan. I mean I get it you can't stop the guy all night but he's not going to win the game and two plays with less than a minute left. That's Bush League bullshit. Thank God he's a beast and ended up having a career. Cuz I would have been real shitty
@@HuddshouseofRockNMetal not all fans. We should have beat you all down. Us losing that game was more ourselves than anything else.

He just dropped it. This was one of the absolute most flagrant biased cheat calls since Ive been watching college football for the last 40 years. Miami was robbed and OSU got a cheap Natty. And the Buckeye fans want to deflect to phantom no calls.
Bad call. I don’t think Miami has gotten back to this level since this. I remember watching this when I was younger.
The game was decided after Miami failed to score with a 1st down on the 2 yard line! Go Bucks!
Stfu idiot the game ended on that bogus Pass interference call.I just watched the game again you people are evil bottomline Miami won that game devil
taburdine1 cry
OSU Film says you guys whining about the Clemson referee performance
jason lazar OSU lost that game kicking 3 field goals in the redzone, not because of 1-2 questionable calls
That’s a lie buckeyes got bogus pass interference call
Coming from a fellow cornerback.It's not PI or Holding. He jammed the receiver at the line of scrimmage(legal) you are able to do this from the line of scrimmage to 5 yards downfield. It wasn't a penalty at all jus great physical coverage.
Another thing to note is a D-Lineman #94 got a hand on the ball wich made any contact legal anyway.
KING. K nope
KING. K ??? Almost
@flash 22 He already had it and dropped it
Haha, I was looking this up for a Miami buddy of mine and stumbled upon your comment today.. bro, as a CB you know you can't have your hands on a WR past the 5 yard mark. He makes contact at the line and maintains contact into the endzone. At the very least it was Defensive holding, but because he had his hands on him with the ball in the air it was PI. If you're still sticking to your comment, ya never played the game. I played at the collegiate level. I understand the game. After 5 yards hands off buddy
The "pass interference call" on Gamble that was not even close was the only reason it went to overtime. RIP Keith Jackson
This call happened in overtime, dummy. This game wouldn't have gone to overtime if the refs didn't miss 4 calls that favored Cryami:
1. Gamble's jersey being yanked on TWICE
2. On that same play, Gamble makes a catch in bounds but the refs rule him out of bounds. If replay review existed back then, the call would have been reversed.
3. Again on that same play, Krenzel gets shoved to the ground way after releasing the ball. No flag for roughing the passer.
4. Missed block in the back on Cryami's long punt return that set up the tying field goal.
@@GreenDay1981, Suckeye fans like you have been justifying this obvious cheating ref since the day it happened. You're not fooling anyone. We know you'd take that NC any way you could get it and if it took a cheating ref so be it.

I'm an OU fan, but I have to give it up for Miami of 2001 and 2002.Absolutely, without a doubt, THE most talented team to ever suit up a college uniform. @MPettrozzaIsGod.Ohio State had a total of 267 yards,2.8 avg. per rush,9 penalties,6 punts, and Krenzel was7 for 21for 122 yards 0TDs and 2 INTs.Clarett had 23 rushes for 47 yards! I'm not saying Ohio State was a 'bad' team, just the 'weakest' national champion(and the luckiest)I've ever witnessed. Being lucky is truly better than being good!

Um....sorry but I attended the game. It was an obvious penalty and it occurred at the line of scrimmage. It is from the opposite camera angle, as the television camera is behind the line of scrimmage and not in front of it when it occurred. Everyone at home on their couch who doesn't like Ohio State always thinks they know it didn't happen, when they are actually full of crap. I watched it happen and so did everyone there telling the truth. You can't still be jamming a receiver while the ball is in the air. And, he didn't just jam him. He held him (you can see him start to reach up into Gamble in nothing resembling a pushing or jamming motion but a grabbing one). And, he doesn't let loose until Gamble pulls away himself and makes his way to the endzone. Even if the ref had determined it was defensive holding (and not just a jam) instead of pass interference, it still would have resulted in a first down for Ohio State. The camera does not show when the ball was thrown. By the way, when Ohio State was driving to put the game away, Miami also grabbed and pulled a fistful of jersey clearly on camera on third down play and it was not called. They then got the ball back and sent it to overtime. The game should have never gone to overtime. They were holding Ohio State receivers all night. You can see at least one more example of this on camera if you watch the game in its entirety. So, all the Ohio State haters need to STFU.
buddy the ball was tipped u can do anything to the wr once the ball is tipped
Bull Shit Call! still pisses me off 20 years later! Latest flag ever thrown!
Gamble had no chance of making that catch, this is a pretty good video on this horrible call. I've seen more contact in plenty of college and pro games that goes uncalled. That should have come down to the line judges call.
Linesman is assigned the receiver in the slot. FJ is assigned the wide out to his side. That the Linesman doesn't flag i insignificant as his eyes are on his man until the end.
All that you need to do here is to be realistic,meaning that there are many Ohio State fans that will make negative remarks about this comment(s). Also be realistic about the fact that whether you're a Miami or Ohio State fan you know for a fact that this pass interference should never have been called on such a decisive point in a game! That is just logical for Buckeye and Canes fans. In fact, that is well understood and accepted by any football fan that understands this sport. Both players here had a clear and perfect chance to go after this ball. The Buckeye receiver obviously beat the Miami defender and he just simply dropped a catchable ball leaving the authority the tough task of deciding the outcome to the biggest game of that season. Again, these folks (the referees) shouldn't have the right to decide it unless it would have been a close or certain call to make. By the way I'm a Seminole fan,that shows you that even though I was happy that the Canes lost I fully understand that they were robbed in a huge way! All of the Miami Hurricanes football program's scandal(s) never felt right and were never accepted by most throughout the country. That is mainly what led to this bad call along with other crucial calls against this program, and there could very well be more underway for this team. So get ready Hurricane fans,because they will always hold a grudge against you! Envy will always take part of human activities! Yes even in sports! The U will eventually bounce back some day but my Noles have the chance to shine now!
Fine. Lets just agree Ohio State should have won in regulation, 17-14. There was alot less controversial BS that allowed the game to go to overtime. Roscoe Parrish got that nifty punt return due to an illegal block in the back, for example. Ohio State had to punt in the first place due to another blown call on the previous play.

And our final drive wasnt a crucial moment in the game when the refs blew TWO calls ultimately gifting Miami an OT chance?
Fuck off man.
Jev Miller What about the play clock being at zero on your last drive.
false...at 1:44 it is clear that Gamble's jersey is being pulled around from his left side. You can't see it from the closer angle down on the sideline but you can see it from the further view at 1:40. When Gamble cuts back, his jersey was pulled because Sharpe was fooled by the fade
Not pass interference
The ball was tipped u can legit do anything to the wr once the ball is tipped
I still am pissed at this
bad call. its a shame to see what's happened to miami since then
Some dynasty, 1 national title to show for it and you should've been stripped of it if not for a poorly handled investigation by the NCAA.
Not even close to one of the worst calls of all time. It was the right call

Since when do they throw the flag the instant of a foul? It always comes in a couple seconds later. That's not an argument.
Plus, until 2008, that's a facemask, so I guess if they blew the pass interference call in Ohio States favor, they simultaneously blew the facemask penalty in Miami's favor. Ohio State won, get over it.
Lol, thats why none of the buckeyes of that decade was good in the NFL
not the argument, are you really that delusional? lack sportsmanship? facemask?the cheater called PI. Every football expert says this is a bad call, and vegas insiders consider this a staged game. Ohio st fans will accept anything to be relevant
@@cfrench507 Spot On. You can slow it down to .25 and see it was impossible for the ref to make that call with any confidence at all. Keith Jackson tried to make the argument, well there was a penalty at the line so it worked itself out. Dan Fouts said they called PI, Keith. You can't right a wrong with another wrong.

Horrible call. Miami got robbed. The Suckeyes got bailed out by the refs. Gamble could have caught that before any contact was made. The official closest to the play called incomplete, and then suddenly a delayed flag appears. Total bullshit. One of the worst calls I've ever seen.
keep crying Criami, this game shouldn't had been close.
MattBuckeyeGuy
Just because Miami was heavily favored doesn't mean it shouldn't have been close. We see in college football all the time, teams rising up to make it a game. Ohio State is a big school and was a Conference Champ, not some lightweight. Fact is, the ref didn't consider that the contact made was legal within 5 yds. It's very similar to the No Call in SB XLVII where Crabtree of SF was jamed close to the endzone by the Baltimoe DB. It wasn't a penalty but everyone who isn't use to seeing the 5 yd chuck zone being used that close to the endzone thought it was.
OSU and UM and, of course, Penn State are the most corrupt programs in NCAA history and all their national titles should be stripped.
AG Shut up. They were not robbed. Ohio State should have won it in regulation. The refs allowed you to send it to overtime so quit your bitching.
GreenDay1981 Great response GreenDay...AG gives FACTS along with his opinion...and yet...NO FACTS at all from you....and then you accuse him of bitching!
