Saturday I watched this game. While I thought that the game announcers would be neutral after a while I felt the game was on the Buckeye Broadcasting Network.
The dynamic over the top Gus Johnson and his partner seemed to favor Ohio State at every turn. They argued incessantly for a Michigan touchdown catch to be changed to
an Ohio State interception. I am annoyed that the microscopic review of every close play adds at least a half hour of game time. Thankfully the ref's video reviews supported every call made on the field.
As in every college and pro sports the officiating crew is making good money and must make human judgements . I am sick of seeing plays that had been catches for the first 150 years of Football be analyzed
and upheld or overturned based on whether or not the receiver held the ball absolutely still while running and simultaneously being hit .I am puzzled about why the current emphasis on penalizing "hands to the face"
doesn't apply to runners straight arming a defender to the front or any part of his helmet.
