I haven't seen much discussion about this but I found it pretty ridiculous and representative of MSU.

As far as I can tell from the video, that MSU coach with the gatorade bottle throws O'Korn to the ground by the back of the jersey. 

The only other explanation is that O'Korn has the greatest body control in the world and is one of the best floppers ever rivaled only by Lebron.

Also, #34 giving him a shove in the back as he is on the ground.

I hope this footage is sent to the league office.

He was clearly jerked from behind. If you stop the video at the 5th second, go in slow motion, and watch O'Korn's head, you can see his head go backward before his helmet does. An undoubtful indication his body is jerked backward.

This incident doesn't channge the game.  It just shows the lack of class by Sparty. 

Herbie with the flop comment or the girl pulling him down was Buckie lack of class.  It was clear he was ripped down from behind.

Who cares.  If we are kicking their ass by 20+ they don't pull this shit.  Sparty has put us in our place.  Dantonio is 11-0 against the spread against UM and it doesn't look like that will ever change.  Michigan is a fringe top 20 program and will stay that way until we start getting some fire in our belly that I see in abundance on the MSU sideline.  Those MSU players fed on the hate they were getting, their OL was pumping up our crowd during the monsoon.  When has Michigan ever looked that confident?

The same league office who scheduled o$u fans to officiate the game last year? And then said after review they thought they called it fairly? LOLOLOLOL

I haven't watched the game yet as it started at like 1am my time, but just from that clip, dude should be out of college football for good. Coaches can't assault opposing players.

Yes, the refs were absolute trash, but who honestly thought before the game that they weren't going to be?

 

MSU has been helped by the officiating for what seems like forever. There's no indication that this is going to change. Delaney's boys are not held accountable and are allowed to screw over whomever they please.

 

With the resources available, Michigan should be able to crush MSU regardless of what O'Neil and the rest of those morons do. Our team beefed it, no ifs, ands, or buts.

This is dumb. The game was pretty evenly called. Some penalties were weak on both sides; some penalties weren't called on not sides. Blaming our ineptitude on the officials is beneath me. Every year, MSU comes into this game and physically kicks our ass. No matter the score - win or lose - MSU physically dominates this game (at least since Dantonio has bee there). I am fucking sick of seeing UM looking like a bunch of bitches. Man up...you get hit, hit back twice as hard. This team is soft.

there was someone behind him hard to see when he flopped backwards. Can't make out either way, but it's hard to get that whip motion up high and have your feet fly out forwards on your own. 

 

MSU plays us dirty every year, nothing new. Little brothers try to get their cheap shots in whenever they can. 

 

We didn't lose to dirty play, we lost because 5 turnovers vs 0 turnovers plus not catching balls.

on the sideline needs to be suspended for a few games. He clearly punched JOK in the back while he was down, the clown asses at the B1G offices better review that shit.

Plus, MSU was playing dirty the whole game, Dantonio is a major douche bag and I'm sick of it!

He was pulled down, no question about it. State got into his head, he lost his cool, so they kept it up and it worked. There are mental aspects to the game. Everyone knows that's what State does. Players were talking about it during the week and saying they wouldn't react. Yet O'Korn wasn't mentally prepared for it. I think that's on him.

is why shit like the late hits, the bullshit by the coaches on the sidelines etc etc happens year after fucking year and our guys never get goddamn PISSED and play their asses off.

Ok, the video evidence is he was OBVIOUSLY pulled down - you can see the back of his jersey move. Whoever did it should be banished from ever being allowed on the sidelines. When Herbstreit screws up and brings up "flopping" - how stupid. How can we get that idiot off UM games??

I want to believe JOK didn't flop but since he flopped and pulled down Panasuik on his first interception I'm more keen to believe he might've embellished. His first flop drew an unsportsmanlike penalty on MSU or else hey would've had the ball inside the 40.

It’s the guy next to him with his hood up. You can see him leaning down and then straightening up. No look of shock or anything on him vs. the other guy. Also extra nice of Underwood to wander over like “I didn’t do it”.
