One Second Decides: Michigan narrowly escapes Western Michigan after clock review

Michigan beat Western Michigan 13-12 in Ann Arbor after a replay review restored one second to the clock, allowing a 47-yard game-winning TD on a Hail Mary. Officials initially signaled zero seconds, but the Big Ten upheld that a WMU defender touched the ball out of bounds with one second left, stopping the clock. Analysts were puzzled by the timing and clock synchronization, and Western Michigan’s upset bid was dashed as Michigan avoided a major upset.
