WATCH: Another generous spot for Ohio State leads to TD

Ohio State may be in for another battle with an underdog as Minnesota came out fighting Saturday.

The Golden Gophers are starting quick and look intent on going toe-to-toe with the undefeated Buckeyes. Ohio State did score on one drive to re-take an early lead, but one call seemed a bit questionable.

Going for it on a 4th-and-short, Ohio State’s Mike Weber was tackled right at the line-to-gain. In fact, it appeared his elbow came down with the ball short of the first down. Either way, it was ruled a first down on the field.

Tradition’s own Dustin Schutte shared a video of the questionable call:

Ohio State made sure to make the most of the call on the field. QB Dwayne Haskins connected on the very next play for a huge touchdown to Terry McLaurin.

The BTN shared a video of the long strike:
