A controversial no-call late in Illinois’ game against No. 3 Michigan (11–0) drew the ire of coach Bret Bielema on social media following Saturday’s 19–17 loss on the road.
The questionable play occurred on fourth-and-3 with less than minute left in the game as Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy completed a pass to running back Isaiah Gash for a crucial eight-yard gain. The pivotal moment appeared to have been made possible thanks to a potential offensive pass interference on tight end Colston Loveland, a missed call that helped set up an eventual game-winning Jake Moody field goal.
