That's a writer who covers Michigan questioning the no-call. There's no mention of anybody connected to the team suggesting this.
But in that replay, you can see Jaleel did lead with the crown.

We've had so many helmet to helmet hits on CJ and not one has ever been called.

Horrible technique? For sure. It is a violation, helmet contact or not.

That's what I said in the first sentence, those are the rules so it should have been a penalty. I don't think it was enough to eject the player.
Targeting penalty = automatic ejection.
I font know about that. If they would have called it, there's almost no way we would have won.

My point is that they lost the game because of mostly other reasons, including trying to take on Iowa on Iowa's strengths at Iowa.

Didn't see that during the game.
Yes. It was a targeting hit.
And so was the Michigan hit on Coluzzi: not only late hit but helmet to helmet late hit.
Besides, who cares what they "feel".
Emoting lightweights.

It doesn't matter what else the team could have done. If the refs didn't call something they should have, and Michigan would have won the game if they did call it, it's inaccurate to say the non call didn't lose the game for them.

There are tons of potential targeting calls on both sides, in every NCAA football game. Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't. Unless you get rid of on-field officiating and replay review every single play from every angle there will be missed calls. I'm sure if someone scoured game film he or she could find five or ten plays where Michigan could have been called for it but wasn't, just like every other team.
If Michigan trolls have been reduced to arguing that they lost because of a no-call, the Hawks have done their job. What happened to scoring 78 points?

If Speight hit one or more of his wide open WR's for deep passes (there were opportunities), there's almost no way we would have won. Maybe they should focus on the parts of the game that were well within the team's control.
Also I like how their game banner for the week has 9-0 Michigan against Indiana ... they must not be in too big of a hurry to update the loss column.

Meh. You wanna talk about missed calls, a bigger one a few years back was the Northwestern facemask that whipped Ricky Stsnzi's head around contributing to the serious ankle injury that kept him out the rest of the season.

Yeah, this is the same crew that left their starters in during the second half of a 78-0 humiliation of Rutgers. Nice folks. They couldn't handle a tough Iowa team on the road, even as a 24 point favorite. Ohio State is gonna hand it to 'em in Columbus
