Michigan Wolverines Win 2023 National Championship After Controversial Holding Calls

Before the controversial holding calls that went against the Washington Huskies, the Michigan Wolverines got away with some obvious holds. These holds propelled a couple of big plays for the Wolverines.

These controversial non-calls allowed Michigan to dominate the game on the offensive side of the ball. The Wolverines eclipsed the 300-yard mark on the ground, while Washington only had 46 yards rushing.

Michigan also had 140 yards passing, which contributed to their 443 yards of total offense. The Washington Huskies only had 301 yards of total offense, and a lot of those yards were taken away on a controversial holding penalty

The Washington Huskies had a chance to make the game closer, but controversial holding calls stopped them

One controversial holding call against the Washington Huskies came on one of the biggest passing plays of the night. Quarterback Michael Penix completed a pass that would’ve set the Huskies up in Michigan territory with a chance to tie the game.

Instead of tying the game, Washington’s drive was killed and they were forced to give the ball back to Michigan. Another controversial call came with Washington deep in Michigan territory.

They would’ve gotten a pass interference call to set them up in the red zone, but a controversial holding call offset the penalties. This caused them to try a 4th and 13 again, which they failed to convert. Fans are not happy with the result.
