Fans, media blast Michigan touchdown call being overturned: 'Worst review in history'
Michigan saw a would-be touchdown called back on a review where the play was overturned after the Wolverines appeared to score early in the second quarter.
JJ McCarthy found Roman Wilson for a 50-yard pass that appeared to be a touchdown. However, the play was reviewed and reversed and Michigan was awarded the ball at the TCU 1-yard line.
Several fans not rooting for Michigan suggested that the Wolverines were robbed on the decision.
Should this have been ruled a touchdown for Michigan?? #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/S7SepMpZmb

Michigan fumbled on the next play, but forced TCU to punt on its next drive.
Here’s a sample of the fans and media reaction:
Harbaugh completely flubbing this thing inside the five yard line. QB sneak that shit on first down every single time.
But damn, it did look like a bad overturn on that would-be TD.

No dog in the fight, thought that was a bad reversal. Thought by time WR had control of ball, he was sitting on the goal line. Turned out to be huge call.

This Fiesta Bowl officiating crew is terrible. That was a touchdown for Michigan!

That was the worst review in history – that was a touchdown pass to Roman Wilson
Either way – this Michigan team has been a disaster inside the 5 yard line. WTF

In the end that should’ve been a TD pass for Michigan. Review system is very bad

I’m no fan of Michigan but they 100% got robbed on that review. That was a TD.

Wow! A TD for Michigan. Goes to review and questionably gets reversed. The next play Michigan fumbles on the 1 yard line? Wow! Unreal!
