A scoop-and-score that looked like a game-changing touchdown suddenly turned into one of the most debated reversals in playoff history. After the on-field call gave Ohio State a defensive TD, replay review ruled the play an incomplete pass instead of a fumble, wiping the score off the board in the middle of a College Football Playoff semifinal packed with championship pressure. The swing in momentum was massive. Instead of extending the lead, the Buckeyes saw the touchdown erased, the drive stay alive, and the entire energy of the game flip in a matter of minutes. Fans, analysts, and players all had strong opinions, and the replay angles only fueled the debate even more. Years later, the call is still replayed whenever playoff controversies come up. It’s one of those moments where a single ruling didn’t just change a drive — it changed the course of a semifinal, leaving fans to wonder how differently things might have played out.
