Clock Error Sparks Controversy | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Western Michigan’s football team lost a controversial game to Michigan after officials mistakenly added one second back on the clock — leading to Michigan’s winning touchdown. The MAC stepped in to appeal, claiming replay officials used the wrong clock feed and that Western Michigan should’ve won 12-7 if protocol had been followed correctly. The school’s president defiantly declared his team the true victors, arguing the outcome was decided by a procedural error — especially crucial for playoff hopes. But the Big Ten stands firm, and the NCAA has shut down any possibility of overturning the final score. Despite the drama, Western Michigan earned some respect in the coaches poll, while Michigan remains ranked — both teams now face big games this weekend as the controversy continues to simmer.
