On Saturday, Michigan State marched into the Big House as three-touchdown underdogs vs. Michigan and walked away with a 27-24 win.
The Spartans clearly outplayed the Wolverines but Jim Harbaugh feels like Michigan State had some extra help on their side. Specifically, the referees.

On Monday, Harbaugh spoke to reporters and he said there were a couple of calls that were “technical” and that the calls did not go both ways.
“Yeah, there was a couple calls early that you could, where, they’re technical,” Harbaugh said. “And it could’ve been like to see that same technical call be called both ways in the game but I think it affected how our corners played. And they definitely, gotta get some deep balls, five of them.”
Nation, does Harbaugh have a valid argument here? Do you think the Michigan cornerbacks were not allowed to play how they wanted to because the referees were calling ticky-tack penalties?
Yes the officials were bias as they have been since Harbaugh became coach. They don’t like him and it shows. That isn’t the excuse for this loss. Michigan was outcoached again and Don Brown has to go also. We need more options than just blitzing 43 percent of the time. If an opponent has a good offensive line, you can pass on Michigan all day. Which Indiana and Wisconsin and Penn St and Ohio St will do. It will be ugly. Michigan might not win another game. More talent than MSU and looked terrible. Its been rough being a Wolverines fan since Carr left. I dont like Urban but if he wants to showoff how good he is let him take the Michigan challenge. I dont know if he could even make Michigan great again. I would welcome him if he took the job.
It’s called adjusting to how refs are calling game
