Hail Mary Touchback Sparks Controversy | Michigan Wolverines Football News

In a jaw-dropping final seconds twist, Western Michigan thought they’d pulled off an upset against Michigan, leading 12-7 with time running out—until a Hail Mary was touched by Broncos defender Micah Davis as the clock hit zero. But replay officials, using an unsynchronized clock, ruled Davis touched the ball with one second left, giving Michigan a final shot. Underwood threw a touchdown to JJ Buchanan, flipping the result to 13-12 Michigan. The MAC is now appealing to the NCAA, arguing the replay team should’ve used the official broadcast clock—which clearly showed time expired—and wants Western Michigan recognized as the winner for rankings. Fans are split: some demand fairness, others suspect gambling’s influence, and many just feel sports are rigged. The NCAA says no post-game reversal is possible under current rules, though they’ll enforce stadium-clock use in future reviews.
