After reading halfway through this thread, I went to youtube, and watched the play again (I haven't seen the call since the game actually happened, so I needed a refresher). I found a video that broke down the entire play, from start to finish and came up with this determination:
1. The actual pass interference call was wrong. I didn't see him get touched till the ball was in the receivers arms.
2. That being said, as soon as the play began, the first thing the ref's missed was the holding call. One of the ref's started to call holding, then changed his call to pass interference.
3. Then, on the way down, there was a facemask call missed.
There were two calls that could have/should have been called that weren't, that would have had the same results as the pass interference call that actually was called.
Either way, the pass interference call righted the wrong of missing the other two penalties the ref's missed. Therefore, the game was as it should have been from that point forward til OSU won with no other controversial calls (that I remember).
The game should had never went ot OT....if this play were called correctly Ohio State likely would had ran the clock out instead of giving miami the ball back with an excellent chance to tie the game and send it to OT (which they did)
Holding....AND he caught the ball which was called incomplete

Also miami could not stop a mediocre at best passing offense from converting 4th and 15 a few plays earlier in the overtime....and could not score with 4 chances from inside the 2 to keep the game going....they had plenty of chances
