Michigan’s loss to the Wisconsin Badgers was a tough one to sink in. After 2.5 quarters of hard-hitting football, in which Michigan seemed to have the edge, any chance of a win quickly slipped through the Wolverines’ fingers. Yes, there were several factors to the loss that need to be taken into consideration, including a controversial call against a Donovan Peoples-Jones touchdown, a couple weak pass interference calls, several non-calls against Wisconsin, and, most importantly, Brandon Peters’s game-ending injury.
But the fact of the matter is that even with these difficult circumstances, Michigan still had multiple opportunities to win the game.
