Refs just gave Ohio State this ridiculous interception call

It was held up AFTER replay, to boot.

Penn State already has a bit of an uphill battle to fight with No. 13 Ohio State coming to town.

The refs didn't help on their first drive, awarding this play as an interception to Buckeye defensive back Vonn Bell, even though the ball hit the turf on the way down. Quarterback Christian Hackenberg faced heavy pressure off the right side of the offensive line -- not exactly a rarity in the 2014 season -- and was never able to step into the throw, resulting in the underthrown pass.

It was upheld after review due to a lack of indisputable evidence to overturn, giving Ohio State the ball at the PSU 39, although almost nobody agreed with the actual call itself.

Seven plays later, the Buckeyes would take a 7-0 lead behind Ezekiel Elliott's ten yard scamper into the end zone.
