Took away a Buckeye turnover there

Refs with the BS call on Porter and now take away a turnover in their end. That's a fumble.

why was that a penalty? it just looked like a bad snap. anyone know the rule on this?

 

[Nohow]

"The center is allowed to move the ball and position it to his liking prior to getting set. But once the team is set, the ball can’t be moved without being penalized. That’s why the basic definition for a non-football expert is to call it a false start penalty on the center, even though it’s not technically a false start.

What it is moving the football or mimicking the snap before the ball is officially snapped. It’ll be a trick by the center to try and get the defense to jump offsides.

The center can’t move the ball forward as any slight movement will draw a flag from the referees for the dead-ball penalty that results in a five-yard penalty."

Don't know what happened,thought it was just a fumble.

it just looked like a bad snap that went along the ground. I have seen the false snaps before, but those normally remain with the center. seems like this was really a fumble.

The center fumbled the ball; the refs fumbled the call.
