There was no overturned TD in the Michigan game. The call on field was out of bounds, no TD. And there was nothing at all on the replay that clearly showed one foot was down before the othe was out of bounds that would allow refs to overturn call on field.

 

That said, I have no idea how earlier in the game, replay overturned a catch for a first down by a Wisconsin receiver. Scratched my head on that one.

 

Both teams have great Ds, but the Michigan offense is way more inept than Wisconsin.

This is a great study in fan bias (for both of us). You are right they called it incomplete on the field. They shouldn’t have. My eye and the (admittedly biased) screencaps shown on twitter suggest that his foot landed inbounds first. The overturned catch could have gone either way but the ball hit the ground and when it did it looked to me like the ball moved ever so slightly which I believe means no catch.

 

Both very close plays that I don’t think either of us will be able to convince the other to change their mind about.

The difference in our “biases” is that I don’t think there was enough to overturn either call. Yet one call was overturned and the other wasn’t.

 

And you’re correct, neither is us will sway the other from our opinion. The non-TD in my opinion was near impossible to see which foot clearly hit first in slomo, so how is it a BS call in the realt tme if the ref sees it as out of bounds?!?

 

Anyway, Michigan has an awful offense and that’s their downfall this year.
