The Michigan Wolverines were credited with a controversial touchdown during their game against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Michigan was leading 7-3 and had the ball in the second quarter. The Wolverines 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.
