Michigan's Win Stirs Controversy | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan pulled off a heart-stopping 13-12 win over Western Michigan thanks to a controversial Hail Mary touchdown as time expired — but not before sparking national outrage. The game’s final seconds were mired in confusion, with broadcast clocks showing zero while officials added one second back after a replay review deemed a Western Michigan player touched the ball out of bounds. Sports commentator Jason Whitlock, a Michigan fan, called it “absolutely criminal” and even suggested Trump intervene to strip the win. Western Michigan’s coach Lance Taylor stayed classy, focusing on his team’s effort rather than blaming officials. The MAC sought clarification from the Big Ten, which released video and audio proving the stadium clock still had time — despite TV visuals suggesting otherwise. Though the Big Ten upheld the call, Whitlock remains furious, accusing the conference of financial manipulation. But under NCAA rules, once a game ends, no appeals or public outcry can reverse the result — leaving fans divided and the controversy simmering.
