Kevin Sherrington, a writer for the Dallas Morning news, put in a column that J-Rich was called for a penalty on that play for apparently being too tall.

Here was the difference between the two teams in style, summed up neatly on each team's last drive before the half:
Texas spent more than seven minutes on its only touchdown. Got a little help in the red zone, too,
when the Buckeyes' 6-6 Jay Richardson slammed into McCoy and apparently was flagged for being too tall.
Ohio State's response: Smith goes for 23 yards to Brian Robiskie, 14 and 23 to Gonzalez and the final 29 to Ginn.
Elapsed time: 1 minute, 39 seconds. Just long enough to suck all the air from Texas.
The Buckeyes' two-minute drill packed about all the excitement this game could muster.
Nothing Texas did in the second half could rouse its record crowd of 89,422.
