Michigan Football: 3 overreactions from the Oregon loss
By Nick Popio
Michigan's Big Ten home winning streak is history. The Ducks kept Michigan's current losing streak against the No. 1 team alive as well. Social media ingrates want everybody fired to feed their engagement numbers and pay their bills. One thing is for sure, the bandwagon fans have shown their true colors over the last two seasons. Losing has ruined the fun of Michigan football.
Now here are three unorthodox overreactions from around the internet.
1. The Evan Stewart touchdown should have been automatically reviewed
College football does not have the same rules that the NFL has when it comes to reviewing plays. They must adopt them immediatley to overturn obvious mistakes that the officials make on the field. That makes this an indisputable overreaction. Once the replay was shown, the play should have been overturned instantly, no questions asked.
Aamir Hall's coverage was picture-perfect. He made just enough of an impact on the play that Stewart couldn't possess it all the way to the ground. Hall got toasted on a deep ball later in the half that resulted in a touchdown a few plays later. The secondary was shorthanded and Dillon Gabriel had a season-high in passing yards given up against the defensive backfield.
The late surprise was the absence of Jyaire Hill. He could use all the reps that he can get with what is expected out of him in 2025 and beyond. To the players who didn't quit, their perseverance will be rewarded one day, but it may not come as quickly as we all had hoped for.
