That should've been defensive holding, but it was back with over 5 minutes left in the first quarter at midfield. It's not like it took points off the board, especially considering how horrendous michigan's offense was that day. Hell, there was a 50/50 chance they'd score a TD or commit a turnover that OSU scores on based on the first half. It's hardly egregious considering the missed calls you see each and every week. Outside of that, there's nothing for michigan fan's to complain about.
You know, other than the 1 play call that should have ended the game and rightfully allowed Michigan to play for a B10 title in Harbaugh's second year instead of OSU fans congratulating Franklin for backing in.
It would have, if JT was actually short. The Big Ten even investigated it and said it was the right call. LOL at your butthurt over not getting preferential treatment from the officials.
They only said so because that was the call on the field. Video clearly showed otherwise. And preferential treatment? We got hosed by the refs that entire game. I don't typically say refs cost us a game, but that game is absolutely a case study in it. And then to have it said that "Franklin won the B10 before Harbaugh" by backing in because of that very call is...absurd.
LOL they reviewed video and said the call on the field was the right call. Sorry you weren't good enough to beat us, it just is what it is.
Nope. THIS is what they said

And given that the refs had been screwing Michigan all night, pretty interesting that the call went Ohio State's way huh?
"whatever was called on the field would not have been overturned by replay."Nope. THIS is what they said

Weird that whatever called on the field all day was against Michigan?
They've literally all shown the opposite.
Never said that. I said on that particualr day the refs were screwing us hard. As evidence by the B10 basically saying so.
He's just upset his coach needed the training wheels on for 7 years unlike respectable programs where coaches have success in less than half the time.
Bottom line, had the refs not blown multiple calls throughout the game Michigan would have protected the lead and then their blown 4thdown call wouldn't have mattered.
