Ohio State Coach Zach Smith Trolls Michigan With Photoshopped Image [PHOTO]

Saturday was arguably the game of the century. No. 3 Michigan went into Columbus to take on the second ranked Buckeyes. The game went into double overtime and most Michigan fans thought that Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett was short of the first down line when he rushed on fourth and one.

Whether he was short or not, the ruling on the field was that Barrett made the line to gain giving Ohio State the first down.

Ohio State's wide receiver coach Zach Smith thought otherwise, obviously, but he should have thought twice about the reasoning he used on his verified Twitter account.

Smith labeled his tweet, "Wait... How short was @JT_theQB4th ?? #HandleItWithClass."

Since when did the hash marks on a football game become jagged? This photo looks to be as doctored as they come. Maybe coach Smith knew it and just wanted to troll the Wolverines.

He didn't stop there with the troll job either, Smith followed that tweet up with a photo of one of the pass interference calls on Michigan saying, "Looks mighty catchable to me based on that picture... LOL - the ball is inches from his hands?? Hahaha."

Ohio State WR Noah Brown also made a comment about the Wolverines. "Excuses....everyone loves em!! But no matter how much you use them they do not produce wins."

Michigan's FB Khalid Hill tweeted about everyone talking about Jabrill Peppers shoving an Ohio State fan after the game, "Y'all do a better job of watching us shoving players than watching if the ball passed the yard marker..."

The tweet that reappeared after the Michigan loss came from the Wolverines' head coach Jim Harbaugh, "Question of the day: Does anyone find whining to be attractive? Just curious."

Sometimes a tweet can come back to haunt you.
