Was this an offsides on us?

Wrong. There are other penalties relating to being across a line that are already reviewable (see below). No reason offside on an onside kick couldn’t be added to the list of reviewable fouls.

2024 NCAA Rulebook
Rule 12 Instant Replay

Reviewable Fouls ​

ARTICLE 8. The following plays are reviewable and the replay official may create a foul when there is no call by the on-field officials:​

a. Player making a forward pass or forward handoff when the player’s entire body and the ball is or has been beyond the neutral zone or after a change of possession (Rule 12-3-2c and 12-3-2d).​

b. Player kicking the ball when the player's entire body and the ball is or has been beyond the neutral zone.​

Was more meaning this is very bang/bang subjective. The above are less so. I disagree with that it’s not. Easily could be same as VAR in soccer

Don’t fall for the Michigan propaganda. The opposite angle shows it looks like it wasn’t touched until after 10 yards.

You write “wrong” but admit it is not reviewable and no reason it couldn’t be added. And then you cite rules that have nothing to do with the play where we got hosed.

He was trying to make a point about there already being other reviewable plays regarding being past the line of scrimmage so why not add another. There are already reviewable penalties as well. Personal fouls that can be targeting. We get some calls get missed. We're all just collectively upset since we only get a chance to actually beat Michigan once every 8-10 years. Games like this bring out the worst in us.
