Referee John O'Neill and replay official Tom Fiedler, the officials who worked Saturday's matchup against Ohio State, have come under fire after missing two crucial calls that could have significantly altered the outcome of the game.

Over the course of just a few hours, you go through a roller-coaster that starts with pre-game excitement, leads to halftime depression, climbs towards overtime aspirations, and comes crashing down when the Buckeyes eke out a close one.
