Questionable offside call but the right outcome in any event. #43 for Minnesota blocks #17 for Michigan prior to the ball crossing the 45 yard line, preventing #17 from fielding the ball. Should’ve been the penalty they called but regardless, the right outcome. #17 fields that ball if not for the illegal contact by the Minnesota player.
Fuck all that. I want people to understand that 2D representations are not accurate depictions of 3D events.
Negated a TD (the only points scored in the first half by either team) on a 4th and 3 play and made it 4th and 18.

Not saying the call was right or not, but you don't need to touch the player for OPI. You just need to hinder them.
I remember seeing all the zero pass interference calls without touching a player in my entire life (before that one)
Getting in the way without touching is OPI. It's setting a pick. It's inconsistently called but that's the rule.
First came the demands for screenshots to support the calls that the officials were in perfect position to make. Now come the demands for screenshots that are unedited. Keep moving the goalposts...
It's not common, but I have. They usually let picks go as long as it isn't blatant but it isn't necessary to make contact for it to be interference.
This is the rule. Impeding an opponent is a foul that occurs when a player moves into an opponent's path to block, slow down, or force them to change direction when the ball is not close to either player.
When I copy and paste this exact text into Google, everything that comes up is for soccer rule books.
That’s just big ten officiating generally. It’s absolute dogshit week after week. We went like 5 or 6 years without getting a holding call on an opposing offensive line. It just gets old ya know
Also we’re not good enough or mentally strong enough to withstand that type of thing almost always so it’s particularly irritating year and year
UCLA, Purdue, and NW seem to be remarkably bad. In the conversation for worst P4 teams in the sport. Purdue fired their OC Harrell. Walters seems like he may not be long for the job there.
You tricked me. I thought he got fired by Purdue and rehired by USC on the same day seems like some shit Lincoln would do thinking he’s smarter than everyone else
Before we all turn our attention to this coming Saturday, I think it’s important to acknowledge that Michigan QB Alex Orji had a career high passing day against Minnesota. Congratulations are in order. Orji more than doubled his career high and lit up the Minnesota secondary 10/18 86 yards. While Orji has struggled running the last two weeks, going 9/12 1.3 ypc against Minnesota, the high flying Michigan offense looks to top 100 yards passing this week at Washington.
As the winners of the last real national championship, we feel it's important to try and maintain the integrity of amateur athletics
None of the QBs from the three service academies hit the portal, so they figured they were better off with Orji.
We were too busy winning a national championship. Also, we didn’t have a coach until the end of January. Also also, we don’t have any receivers for a QB to throw to.
