Adversity strikes in many forms
For #OhioState, very tough breaks.
– Multiple Dropped TDs
– Critical Targeting Call
– Overturned Defensive TDIf they play that game 10 times, they probably win 7. Both teams were great and played like champions. It was a game of (controversial) breaks. #CFBPlayoff

This was one of those games where it just seemed like every break went the other way. The overturn of the scoop and score fumble that would have given Ohio State the lead, a roughing the punter call that kept a drive alive and a targeting call that was controversial. And that’s before we get into some slips, miscommunications and lost opportunities within the flow of the game.
Sometimes you have adversity that you fight through and overcome, while other times you do the best you can to battle and come up a little short. This was one of those games where things felt a little unfair, but you still have to keep playing the game.
Credit to Ohio State for soldiering on. It almost won in the face of so much going the wrong way in the breaks (and often questionable) department.
