The ESPN score bug appeared to distract viewers, and they let it be known on X. As teams pick up first downs in the game, the middle part of the bug flashes a gold indicator to signify the accomplishment. But college football fans were irked that it looked like a penalty flag was thrown on the play.
There were no penalties thrown in the first half of the game as Miami took a 14-0 lead into the locker room.

Beck found Mark Fletcher Jr. for a 9-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. The score rectified Fletcher’s fumble that occurred on the drive prior.
Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin tried to respond with a touchdown of his own. Sayin, instead, threw an interception to Scott, who returned the ball for a touchdown.
The Buckeyes were moving the ball well on their final drive of the half. It appeared Sayin was finally starting to find his rhythm. The drive could have ended with a field goal, but a 49-yard field goal attempt was missed.
Ohio State was on the ropes going into the second half.
