Officials in Saturday’s Ohio State State-Michigan State game missed a blatant eye poke that should have resulted in a penalty.
Ohio State running back Mike Weber was taken down by Michigan’s State’s Montae Nicholson near the sideline after a 22-yard run in the second quarter. Nicholson was flagged for a personal foul, but Weber was not flagged despite poking his finger in Nicholson’s face-mask.

Buckeyes offensive lineman Michael Jordan was assessed a personal foul on the play, which resulted in a repeat of first down. Ohio State scored a field goal on the drive that tied the score at 10-10.
George Blaha is absolutely going off on these officials. Truth is, Big Ten has a lot to gain with OSU winning today, and calls suggest that.
