Big Ten Officials Acknowledge Erroneous Penalty Call That Nullified Ohio State Touchdown for Second Straight Week

For the second week in a row, Big Ten officials told Ryan Day that a penalty that nullified an Ohio State touchdown should not have been called.

This week, the erroneous penalty call came on what would have been a 4-yard touchdown run by Miyan Williams in the fourth quarter. Chip Trayanum appeared to make a clean lead block from the fullback position to lead Williams to a touchdown run for the third time in two games, but Trayanum was called for a holding penalty.

That penalty cost Ohio State seven points, as the drive ended with a turnover on downs after Devin Brown was sacked on 4th-and-goal.
