You make the call: Was Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith bobbling the ball as he crossed the goal line against Michigan?

Did star Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith fumble before crossing the goal line on his second-quarter touchdown?

Smith put the Buckeyes up 10-6 in the second quarter with his fourth-down catch for a 35-yard score. But watch closely as he bobbled the ball as he got into the end zone. Was this actually a touchback?

Take a look in slow motion.

It’s important to note that Smith’s TD was immediately called a score on the field before it went to replay review. Officials kept the call on the field after taking that slow-motion look.

Had the bobble been noticed in real time and been called a touchback on the field, we could see how that ruling would have been upheld too. Smith appeared to lose possession just as he crossed the goal line and his left foot stepped out of bounds in the end zone after he regained control.

However, there’s also a case to be made that he had the ball pinned to his chest while crossing the goal line. That — along with the lack of a definitive replay angle as the pylon cam doesn’t show Smith’s entire body — is likely why officials stuck with the call on the field.
