I had completely forgotten about this play amongst all of the chatter regarding Reed’s third down catch...
“Michigan quarterback Joe Milton couldn’t find an open receiver - as was often the case against MSU’s tricky zone defenses on this day. He tucked and scrambled and prayed.
Milton managed to lunge ahead and pick up the first down by inches. Otherwise, the Buckeyes - I mean, Spartans - would have had the ball back at the Wolverine 29-yard line. And a 34-17 score might have been a couple minutes away.“
The game would have been over on that 4th down play. Great effort by Milton, but about an inch away from being ball game (oh, and I don’t remember the announcers calling for a review of that play as he was tackled out of bounds and the spot is pretty subjective at that point).
More credibility for this win!
