The Big Ten is reviewing Saturday's controversial onside kick penalty that allowed Michigan to seal a 27-24 victory over Minnesota, Head Coach P.J. Fleck says.

The Big Ten has received approval from the NCAA to change the way it officiates onside kicks after Minnesota was penalized for offside when it recovered an onside kick late in its game at Michigan.

The Big Ten Conference told Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck the offside calls against Minnesota on Saturday was “too tight to flag” in the 27-24 loss to Michigan, and the conference has adjusted the way officials will be positioned on those plays going forward.

The Gophers football team didn’t go down without a fight, but first-half miscues proved the difference in a 27-24 loss to No. 12-ranked Michigan Saturday afternoon at The Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Wolverines won the battle for the Little Brown Jug for the fifth consecutive matchup.

The Big Ten is modifying how it officiates onside kicks after the controversial offside penalty at the end of Saturday's game between Minnesota and Michigan.

Cornerback Jaionte McMillan was the defense’s fourth-highest graded player — the third-highest was Eli Mau, who only played seven snaps — at a 69.2 grade, and cornerback Za’Quan Bryan, who has been filling in for Walley, received a 68.6 defensive grade.

An incorrectly-thrown flag has prompted the Big Ten to change how it officiates onside kicks, but that's cold comfort for Minnesota.
