I would disagree.

Ohio State finished with the total yards edge at the end of the game still. If they didn't take stupid penalties the game likely finishes a one score game (probably still in LSU's favor). They had two drives in the second half where they committed 2 personal foul calls (one with roughing the kicker/unnecessary roughness and one with two unnecessary roughness calls). That swings momentum heavily and forces LSU to move 30-40 yards for a TD (instead of long FG range).

If Ohio State doesn't take stupid, uncharacteristic penalties that's a close game. LSU still wins though.
