Michigan-MSU calls

[chapmaja]

There are two calls or non-calls I am shocked I don't see being discussed here.

First- Targeting on Bolden. I personally think this was a terrible call because he was being thrown down on the play. I have a hard time penalizing a player who is being thrown to the ground on the play.

Second- Lack of a roughing the snapper call on the final play of the game. To me that looked to be the textbook picture of roughing the snapper that you would see in a rules video. 1 second after the start of the snap, the snapper's feet are straight up in the air. I'm sure he did not roll backward on his own. Also, due to a stupid formation, no MSU player could say he was blocked into the snapper by another lineman. Michigan's line was too spread out to block someone else into the snapper.
