Fans, media blast Michigan touchdown call being overturned: ‘Worst review in history’
By Keith Farner
Published:
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.

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

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