The Michigan Wolverines were credited with a controversial touchdown during their game against Ohio State on Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Michigan was leading 7-3 and had the ball in the second quarter. They had converted on two 4th-and-1 situations to extend their drive and take the ball to the Buckeye 22. On 3rd-and-10, Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy threaded the needle to Roman Wilson, who caught the pass and took the ball into the end zone.

The ruling on the field was a touchdown, but there were some questions about whether Denzel Burke had ripped the ball away for an interception.
