As a Michigan fan, I applaud these broadcasters. If your job is to cover the home team, it’s not easy to be objective but they did well enough through a tough loss.

[@markcross265]

They called for 4 holding penalties that never happened, glad they weren't officiating, they suck, reminded me of cryn ryan

[@markcross265]

What were you listening to ?

[@xstatic79]

Bro what game were you watching? They never got a call correct! They complained about holding when it was their guy holding 2 seconds before and all the way until after the ball got there. I’ve never head so many sighs like it was a bad call against them over and over.

[@xstatic79]

This guy is actually a ninny kitten fan just trying to cover for them.

[@James_Hough]

These Penn State broadcasters are about the most objective home team radio guys I've ever heard. I don't know if that's their job.

[@dallasakira]

*subjective

[@James_Hough]

Nope- they called it pretty straight. @@dallasakira

[@thebluefus]

“This has got to be offensive interference” said the bias broadcaster and “I wonder if Michigan lined up offside again.” Then complaining about holding on Corums run. Most of the video was them complaining about calls and no calls. Maybe you have it on mute. I didn’t even watch the beginning but they are pretty run of the mill homers.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1078">17:58</a> that was a good PI call..he wasn't looking back early enough the TE was looking the whole time..

[@aaronrider4051]

I'm a Penn State fan. I would call this call technically defensible but very ticky tack - King makes contact but it's very light contact that doesn't get called most of the time. I hope some Michigan fans would admit also that this was a HORRIBLE throw by McCarthy. His throw put King between Barner and the ball! Our radio guys were also reacting in real time. In real time, this looked like a no call on either guy, or maybe an OPI. And as I've said elsewhere, if you aren't going to call Johnson for DPI on our first scoring possession, then the call on King is a joke.

[@stevehuhta6566]

I wonder if the pause after the replay was the broadcasters rethinking their initial reaction?

[@ggoblue]

correct and here is why....the ball was thrown directly to the defender. if he was playing the ball he would have intercepted it. he wasn't playing the ball he was too busy interfering with the tight end.

[@Adivisgclaymation]

PSU's radio crew is by far the best I've heard of all the videos done this season. Great voices, great at PBP, and professional without being too bland.

[@haroldbalzer5916]

[@spaniardprince]

Thanks for doing this for every game. Go Blue!

[@MrDuneedon]

These guys actually impressed me. They had a LOT of praise for individual players and our playcalls. Very even-handed, I thought (Grant's tackle from behind was not a horsecollar, but that WAS a bad DPI against PSU in the 4th Q -- it evened out with some bad calls/no calls that worked against Michigan, though). MSU remains the saltiest broadcast this year, by FAR. LOL.

[@MatthewHackett]

Not a bad DPI call. He impeded the receiver’s path to the ball

[@a_goblue2023]

Yeah he got there early and blocked him away from the ball, it’s a PI

[@karapriehs1688]

@@MatthewHackettYeah, fair enough. I gave it another look.

[@aaronrider4051]

It is well known among Pennsylvania listeners that Steve Jones and Jack Ham are among the best radio crews in college football. They're knowledgeable, objective, and they just sound good.

[@markcross265]

That's like saying Joe Biden is a good president, 😅😂😂😂

[@Larry_Harvilla]

They are certainly up there with Paul Keels and Jim Lachey, who call Ohio State games on flagship station 1460 WBNS in Columbus and throughout Ohio over an extensive network.

[@DanHickeyGuy]

Michigan chewed up the clock by running, and people are saying that is a weakness. What part of winning do they have problems with?

[@kuillugnaughty5840]

[@sawyernorthrop4078]

As Joel Klatt said after this game it takes an incredibly disciplined play caller to stick to what's working and resist the temptation to mix it up for the sake of variety

[@bloodraven3]

A) Barnhartt could not stop Chop, it happens scheme around it B) JJ got hurt in the second half, said wasn't able to walk before Maryland. He's never said this, but my guess is he wasn't able to drive the ball off that leg during this game. Hence the running.

Again only embarrassment this year has been MSU. Great job by these guys

[@nickfavata4487]

It’s weird to me how every one was so mad about that PI call, yeah Barner dragged him down but it was after the ball was past them and after King interfered

Because to call that after not calling Johnson on Penn State's first scoring possession is laughably inconsistent.

​​@@Chinch3It was PI albeit not the most egregious I've seen Michigan get away with. Johnson initiated contact with the ball in the air but partially shielded it from the ref. 2nd down was worse; Penn State tight end got tackled before the ball was thrown, which should have been a holding (illegal contact in the NFL - college calls it holding). This doesn't show that play.

[@A2Fan71]

The pass interference was a good call! Kalen King didn't play the ball, he never looked back, and he impeded Barner from getting to the ball!

[@BPhillips4gg]

Exactly what I came to say. King did look but he prevented Barner getting to the ball without playing it himself. Barner taking King down happened after the ball had been touched by both players. Definitely the best and most objective crew I've heard. Their PBP guy is better than Karsch.

[@martin4749]

On he interference call, King initiated the contact without looking back to play the ball. The Michigan receiver threw him to the ground after the ball went by. The penalty had already occurred. That’s why the call went against PSU.

[@6thmichcav262]

James A. Beaver was the president of the board of trustees. I don’t think it’s fair to pick on the rest. PSU has clean, classic uniforms, and they had over 110,000 in attendance. Good broadcast by the PSU announcers.

[@ernestkovach3305]

The thing about Michigan is that they really don't have any weaknesses whatsoever. They are the only team this year that can say that. Consider these objective grades: Head coach: A. Assistant coaching staff: A Pass defense; best in nation: A/A plus.Will Johnson is the best DB in America, and yet Mike Sainristil will likely be named All Big 10 and / or All American. Linebackers: B+ to A- Defensive Line: A plus plus plus. 2nd string D Line front 4 : Literally also an A. Overall Team Depth : Solid A. Special Teams including FG kicker and Punter : B+ Tight Ends: A Wrs : Wilson/ Cornelius" The Buckeye Slayer" Johnson. Smaj Jordan : A- Offensive Line: Both Guards will make All American and are the best in football . Their second string is headed to the NFL one day, so their depth is staggering there: A. QBs: JJ McCarthy then Tuttle, then Alex Orgi then Warren : A to A+ . Running backs : Blake " The Great" Corum and versatile Donovan" The Don " Edwards are literally the best pair of RBs since 1944 through 1946 Army's great backfield of Davis and Blanchard ....A to A plus. Michigan could "conceivably " be beaten even with head coach Harbaugh on the sidelines by Ohio State, Georgia, Washington, Bama ,Oregon, or Washington...but only on Michigan's worst day. In short ,they are NOT invincible but the Wolverines ARE the only team that is dominating all year and which has zero weaknesses anywhere. Had Michigan decided not to send a message to its petty critics and the sleazy witch hunters in the NCAA over a nothing matter involving an archaic old outdated rule from the last century that provides absolutely ZERO advantage to ANY team today, and instead of vanilla running the ball up the gut 32 straight times into arguably the 2nd best D line in football, chosen to pass the ball 32 straight times ! ,know that Michigan would still have won easily. They have so many weapons and ways to beat opposing foes. Dominating. Cripes, UM's defense alone in at least 3 of their 10 games ,scored enough points by itself to have prevented the opponent from winning EVEN IF the UM offense had never gone out onto the field. That is a shocking statistic. Folks, obtaining signals in ANY way shape or form is something all teams try to do but is ZERO reason why UM is dominating. Just ask their last 3 opponents! Case closed.

[@ernestkovach3305]

@derekjones5728 Don't totally disagree with your P.O.V. but you're dead wrong about that D line .Every opposing coach's FIRST warning to their O lines and QBs, no doubt, is this: "They have 2 waves of an NFL caliber front 4 on that UM D line. We can not run against this brick wall consistently. Nobody has. So, yes, we have to pass, which means" no matter what", you can't just stand there in the pocket and go through all your progressions or hang on to the football. Throw it fast like you've never ever released it so fast, or else UM will crush you." We know this how? A. Eye test. B. The shockingly low QB stats clearly indicate at or below 50 % passing completion percentages! You can protest all you want and say, " Yes, but that's because UM's D backs are the best in the nation." They are. However, one reason for the consistently AWFUL opposing QB stats and its utter dearth of TDs and abysmally LOW passing completion % is because QBs are loathe to stand brave in the pocket with 4 UM oncoming locomotives barrelling past opposing Offensive lineman!Also, in addition to this truth, UM is among the leaders in tackles for loss. Based on the totality of circumstances, And the fact UM has the by far #1 scoring defense in the nation and has not allowed any TDs on first and goal inside the 10 yard line and only 1 or 2 plays from that short distance,I stand by both this vast array of stats- and the clear eye test seeing opposing QBs run for their life to avoid getting hurt via a sack and throwing ball after ball away almost comically to nowhere near any uncovered receiver - as proof positive that UM's somewhat lack of sacks is - in their case- not a meaningful stat. They are unquestionably the best and most feared and ferocious 2 deep DLine wrecking crew in America where an A grade is not sufficient to indicate their devastating IMPACT thus far in their dominating undefeated season.This actual TEACHER known to be a very STRICT but fair grader stands by the A + grade for that D line. Speed quickness, toughness,size, intelligence/ presence of mind, and discipline along UM's front 4 D line is without peer. A + . Class dismissed! The rest of your comments are arguably somewhat valid . Case closed.

[@N8TheGreatG]

@@derekjones5728 not having elite players at every position in not a weakness name any team that has a elite player at every position. I will hold my breath waiting

[@Mr.Martini549]

They have weaknesses. They didn’t contain Allan in the pocket. Didn’t sack him. Barnhart got worked early and often at RT Henderson rebounded from a shaky performance against Purdue and blocked well. Pass protection is an issue Game 10 and JJ still hasn’t thrown a ball away out of bounds. That’s sounds positive, but it’s not. Dude doesn’t need to extend EVERY play.

[@ernestkovach3305]

@Mr.Martini549 Please full stop making a fool out of yourself and quit while you are behind. The PSU QB , 5 star coming out of high school, on his home field before a capacity and near PSU record crowd completed way less than 50 % of his passes at just 10 for 22 for cripes sake. He passed for only 80 yards ... note, not 80 yards in the 1st quarter, 80 yards for the ENTIRE GAME. He was at 3 yards per completion. The " reason" was because of constant Defensive front 4 pressure. Case closed. Michigan chose deliberately to run. McCarthy was a whopping 7 for 8 passing, so it's smply flat out false that Barnhart getting beat a mere once or twice forced UM to run. Only a moron would say that. JJ was 7 for 8 for cripes sake, AND JJ had POSITIVE QB rushing yards for the game, even including sacks.Michigan's massive,cerebral, fast, powerful, super strong O Line has zero weaknesses and with almost zero exceptions destroyed PSU's nation leading rushing defense. Repeat: POSITIVE RUSHING FOR the QB. Now that you get an F- for your ignorance, jealousy, and falsehoods let me tell you the actual primary reason WHY the Wolverines decided to rush the ball against the then #1 rushing defense in the NATION : Because UM was sending a moral Message to the forces of Evil and their hypocritical, petty, disingenuous sleazy , insulting immoral, anti UM bigotry over a meaningless nothing incident involving an archaic rule from last century which provides ZERO advantage to any team nowadays regardless of how they acquire opposing signals, and which the scumbags at the NCAA were already discussing said rule's total elimination anyway. There ,that about covers it. The Truth. Message delivered. The 32 rushes in a row ate up clock, resulting in multiple Wolverine first downs and 3 rushing TDs to be sure. The shocking strategy had everything to do with showing UM's jealous hateful critics that they can take their fake whining accusations and shove it up their justly humiliated and embarrassed fannies. Mission accomplished. Case closed. Michigan has ZERO weaknesses and they are the most dominant team in college football this year . Class dismissed.
