Jason Whitlock called the last play given to Michigan by the refs “criminal”.

The review after the game showed the last play was over before the refs gave Michigan another second on the clock.
Terry McAulay: “The ball isn’t even close to touching a player when it goes to zero… Their Hawk-Eye system apparently had a different sync… I don’t see how that happened, assuming our clock is correct… The ball is clearly still in the air when the clock goes to zero…” https://t.co/Krz3Dg5HTF pic.twitter.com/IcMjvHYaUo

Another view…
The ball is so very clearly NOT touching anyone’s hands at 0:00.
No back line view to see when the ball may have crossed, and the original call was game over.Something awfully fishy happened in Michigan. pic.twitter.com/uDtETiuGTc
