Very exciting contest. The referees were ridiculous - not only were some calls questionable, the refs let guys run up and down the field jawing at each other. I saw five or six instances where a sideline warning could have been issued, and I would hope that the refs were ashamed at the jawing going on after each play. You don't need to throw a flag, but you need to be in control.
...And then the class act after the game by players from both sides. It will be interesting to see if anything at all happens to these players - if you throw punches like that you shouldn't get to play in the next game. Lee Corso got something right for once. He pointed out Ohio State/Michigan played in a heated rivalry game where the stakes were ten times as high - but you didn't see the extra junk like you did here.
A see-saw game, Leak looked lost at times, while Rix eventually got it done. Rix's legacy will be mixed, but he sure beat Florida.
