[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 1819582, member: 748820"] My biggest gripe with officials in last 3 minutes was calling holding on Illinois on 3rd down, but not calling the clear illegal pick play on Mich 4th down. The pass interference on Illinois a play later was correct call, but they did not call that contact all game (see Mich one arm pull on Illini pass a couple drives earlier). For Illini, if holding wasn't called, it would have been 4th and less than 1 yd, which I think Illini would have gone for it with QB sneak, which essentially would have ended game. The correct call was made though. However, they should have likewise made the correct call on 4th down for Mich and called offensive PI to make 4th and 20. Both of these plays should have had flags (and were clear as day), but only one did...both went Michigan's way. Overall, a well officiated game, but when push came to shove, the calls went the way of the darling child when it mattered most. That is disappointing, and I am glad Coach B is finally calling it out. [/QUOTE]
