With a bit over 2 min left in the third quarter and just after a
reviewed call on a possible safety, the ball was placed "one millimeter
from the goal line", according to the lead announcer on the ESPN broadcast.
Ironically, a penalty backed the ball back up into the end zone
resulting in a call of a safety against Indiana and in favor of Michigan
State.
That's my first observation of metric units being used in American
football. Yep, she said "one millimeter".
