The Michigan Wolverines vs. Oregon Ducks game got much more intense than expected. When the teams were standing on a 0-0 score at the start of the first quarter, something unexpected happened that was not in favor of the Wolverines. As the Wolverines are already standing on a five-win, three-loss streak in the ongoing season. One mistake can cause them a big one, especially when you are going up against an unbeatable team like Oregon. Let’s see what the fuss is about.
Today during the game, Oregon Ducks wide receiver took a catch against the Michigan Wolverines defensive back Aamir Hall and scored a touchdown for the team; however, after some time, another camera showed it was a drop and should not have counted as a catch, which turned out quite unfair for the Michigan team. Confirming the news, the College Football Report took to X, saying, “3rd and goal, and this was called a catch. Wasn’t reviewed. After the PAT, this angle was shown, and it was clearly a drop. Michigan got screwed.”

Michigan Wolverines’ struggles this season
The struggle of the Michigan Wolverines to maintain a consistent game is quite evident this season, and one of the major reasons behind their epic failure is their struggle with the quarterback position. The season began with Davis Warren in the game, followed by Alex Orji, and then Jack Turtle.
What’s your perspective on:
Did the referees just hand the Ducks an undeserved advantage over the Wolverines?
Have an interesting take?
Speaking of their stats, Davis Warren is the only one among them who actually has a decent track record, completing 13 out of 19 passes and running for 123 yards with a touchdown. It seems like Warren should have been leading the offense all season, but in today’s game, he is going to have the game of his life. Let’s see if he could make any change for the team against their opponents.

Additionally, the team’s frequent turnovers could be a cause for worry. Michigan Wolverines have given away the pigskin 15 times this season, while the Ducks have only done so 8 times. Even Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore was also well aware of the threat they posed talking about their showdown.
Moore said, “I think for us, every game is a big game. We’re just going to approach it like another game. We know how good they are; we just have to prepare and execute.” Well, for now, the scoreboard says some other story. Let’s see how it ends.
