Michigan Beats WMU On Hail Mary

No. 16 Michigan beat Western Michigan 13-12 after officials restored one second to the clock and Bryce Underwood threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan on the second-chance final snap. Michigan’s previous Hail Mary had sailed incomplete with the television clock at 0:00, but the Big Ten said its officials determined one second remained. Western Michigan had led 12-7 and forced three turnovers against a Michigan team favored by 27.5 points. The ruling drew criticism from Western Michigan’s coach and fans, and the Big Ten issued a statement explaining the clock decision.
