Mike Wise, who has been a writer for the Undefeated, the Washington Post, and The NY Times, tweeted that “I had no dog in Peach Bowl fight, so I can say without bias Jason Bullard should have been called for targeting against Marvin Harrison, Jr…..Bullard becomes game’s defensive MVP. So wrong.”

Here’s link to full tweet:

From my admittedly biased perspective, it was, plain and simple, a very bad decision to reverse the call on the field—and I wish there had been further discussion about that by the announcers (especially as the goal in the current landscape is to provide players with better protection against head injuries).  

And, if Bullard, had never slammed into Marvin with that head shot, I firmly believe Georgia does not come close to completing a comeback because Ohio State would have piled up even more points.

Having said that, it was still a tremendous effort by the Buckeyes notwithstanding the heartbreaking final result.
