There was a slight bit of controversy following No. 14 Ohio State’s (5-0 overall, 1-0 Big Ten) 17-16 victory over the No. 20 MSU football team (3-2, 0-1) on Saturday, as MSU associate athletic director John Lewandowski said the Spartans received “incomplete,” game film from Ohio State prior to the game, a violation of Big Ten rules.
Lewandowski said the Big Ten requires teams to submit complete game film to opponents prior to conference games, a requirement that would not have been in place before MSU’s previous four games, which were against non-conference opponents.
Saturday’s game was the first conference game for Ohio State’s first-year head coach Urban Meyer, who didn’t address the issue during his postgame press conference and, according to the Detroit Free Press, wasn’t aware of the accusation.
MSU head coach Mark Dantonio declined to comment on the matter, and it is unclear if Ohio State is at risk of receiving any punishment.
