What Pass Interference?
As a Miami Hurricane fan, Brandon will be very fond of this poster. Was it a phantom pass intereference call in the 2002 National Championship game? Maybe, maybe not, but photos don't lie. You be the judge.
Brandon, do you want this for your birthday, or Christmas?

The poster is a breathtaking shot of the Pass Interference call in the second half of the first overtime. Miami had already scored a touchdown and only needed to stop the Buckeyes from getting a first down to become repeat national champions. It was 4th and 3 from the 5-yard line. OSU overloaded the left side of the field in an effort to get Chris Gamble in one on one coverage. The philosophy had worked, leaving Gamble in great position to beat the single coverage. Krenzel threw the ball just before getting hit. As the ball flew towards the end zone, Miami’s cornerback Glenn Sharpe grapples Gamble. The late but accurate Pass Interference penalty enabled Krenzel to tie the game with a 1-yard plunge to pay dirt 3 plays later. In the second overtime, Clarett scored on a 5-yard run. Then OSU’s tenacious defense shuts down Miami’s offense one last time to end the best season in Ohio State’s storied history.

I'd rather have the poster with the markings on it. :) It clearly looks like the right call from that picture. Thanks, Buckeyes, for pulling the upset when I needed it and for laying down last week. You are the wind beneath my wings. ;)
