How Many O-Line Holding Penalties Against OSU

Submitted by Cali Citrus Man on

over the last two years, because I saw about 15 on Hurst alone today?  Thanks in advance.

I just don't see how you don't call that, literally textbook holding that lasted forever and wasn't possible to not see, on a guy running free directly where the referee is looking. What rationale explanation is there for how you could miss that as an official other than bias?

I think you should start a third and fourth thread whining about the officials, two is definitely not enough. Man, the whining gets old fast. 

Officials effect the outcome of games. 

Michigan didn't make the plays when it counted. Period. The reason they lost the game include wide open receivers being overthrown repeatedly, a QB that panics and stops thinking in the face of pass rush, gift interception dropped, defense that can't make timely stops on 3rd downs.

i’m no conspiracy theorist, but if you don’t question the officiating we’ve had in the last 2 years vs osu then we’ve been watching different games. there seem to be two different sets of rules; one for osu and much, much stricter ones for us. and by the way, we lose to a 2nd string qb with our 3rd, so i don’t see your point there

There's an easy solution.
Threaten to leave the big ten or just leave.
Couldn't care less if we ever played osu again or any of the other pathetic "rivalries".
The only way to keep any respect is to do that. They can't just sit there and take it. And for the people who will say we just need to be a lot better so the games aren't close and the calls don't matter:
1) that will never happen against osu
2) we shouldn't have to uphill climb to be on a level playing field.
Fuck Delaney
Fuck the big ten

I was honestly thinking the same thing. It’s not hyperbole, but the B1G needs is more than we need them. Threatening a move to the Big 12 or ACC would move the needle. However, Harbaugh would get killed for “whining” and it would be spun as Ohio st beat us out of the conference

I've been watching Michigan football for 55 years. Much as I hate to say this, most of the time winning the Big Ten championship has required Michigan scoring enough points that the refs couldn't cost them the win. For my generation of fans, it's not worth complaining, not because the complaints aren't valid, but because complaining about the refs has never made the slightest difference.

In my life I found myself in an extraordinarily unfair situation. At great personal cost, I did my best to mitigate the impact on those who depended upon me. When I complained to a close friend and adviser he said "God bless you my friend. Now get on with your life." The coaches and other appropriate members of the program should pursue whatever corrective measures are  available to them and the program. My advice to the rest of us is to take my friend's advice.

letting OSU hold w/o penalty on Hurst lfor  almost the entire duration of the big run by OSU's backup QB, can't pull for OSU in any bowl.  QB play was the difference in the game of course.  That said, guessing Wisconsin gets a fair shake from refs next week since they have better chance than OSU in getting picked for playoff.  Whoever OSU plays in bowl,  hope they get called for 5 holding calls and get curb stomped.

Hopefully next year, we'll just beat these scrubs and not have to talk about it.  This will be a very good team under Peters next year.  The defense will be among the best in the nation again.  Still can't believe how many "supporters" blamed the defense for the loss.  Shocking.  I'll take this young defense every game.

GO BLUE!!

Against one of the best d-lines in the country. Michigan needs to doing whatever it takes to make it known to the league office that it is not unacceptable for this BS to continue
