Watch: Michigan credited with controversial touchdown against Ohio State

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.

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

The officials reviewed the play and determined that the touchdown call stood. The TD plus the extra point gave Michigan a 14-3 lead.

Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day was not happy with the call.
