One Second Changed Everything | Michigan Wolverines Football News

One second. That’s all it took to flip a college football game on its head. Western Michigan led 12-7 with under 40 seconds left, convinced they’d sealed the upset against No. 16 Michigan — until replay officials added one second back on the clock. With that extra tick, Michigan launched a Hail Mary for the win, 13-12. Broncos coach Lance Taylor insisted he saw the clock hit zero before the review even began, but praised officials for handling the chaos. He blamed his team’s failure to execute, not the refs — despite their defense forcing three turnovers and holding a five-point lead. The Big Ten explained the call: synced footage showed a WMU player out of bounds before contact, triggering the clock adjustment. A wild, controversial opening-week finish that turned potential history into heartbreak for Western Michigan — and a stunning comeback for Michigan.
