The Yahoo! Sports story reported no evidence that linked Pamon to gambling on games. But noted sports betting analyst R.J. Bell of Pregame.com said that in both controversial late-season games, a disproportionate amount of money was bet on the teams that benefited from the objectionable calls, though Bell said that possibly is mere coincidence. According to Bell, Penn State opened as a seven-point favorite over Purdue and closed an 8.5-point favorite, while Illinois opened as a 15.5-point underdog to Ohio State and closed as a 15-point underdog. Bell said it is unusual for a marquee team like Ohio State to be bet down.

"If a game is fixed, the benefiting team will be bet more heavily," Bell said. "And that was the case in both games in question."

You know what though man....One TD is not gonna stop a powerhouse like OSU from losing the game outright......These games are NOT fixed...and if they are....it is a very very small undectectable call that could have gone either way....I know alot of times it does change the outcome of a game....But HELL OSU did not even win SU....and they were 15 point favs....Just face it.....Illinois was a great ball team this year....Zook has also played against Tressell many times and they know eachothers styles.....Illinois had one of the most ferosious running attacks in all of the NCAA this year......I am not surprised that they won.....NOW Appalacian State beating Michigan SU in the begining of the year?????  Now that is F********* up hardcore......But this is football....where nething is possible....with that Said....I like OSU to get the upset tonight....GL
