Big Ten Clock Controversy Explained | Michigan Wolverines Football News

The Big Ten defended its controversial call in Michigan’s 13-12 win over Western Michigan, claiming a stadium-synced camera—not the one viewers saw—confirmed one second remained for a Hail Mary. Citing NCAA Rule 4-2-3-alpha, they said the clock stops when the ball touches an out-of-bounds player. But Dan Patrick called it baffling, comparing the explanation to O.J. Simpson’s defense lawyers explaining a bloody glove—and questioned why the replay operator didn’t communicate better with conference officials. Western Michigan won’t appeal, but Michigan now faces a huge showdown against No. 11 Oklahoma. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
