On the NBC broadcast, it looked like Michigan's Hail Mary attempt against Western Michigan resulted in an incompletion and the clock hitting zero. However, after review, a second was added back on the clock, and Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan on the Wolverines' second Hail Mary attempt to win the game 13-12.
After the game, Western Michigan head coach Lance Taylor shared his perspective. Taylor thought the game was won.
"I know when I looked up at the clock, it was past zeros before we touched it," Taylor said. "I knew that they would review it; it was the last play of the game. Because we defended it so well, I wasn't worried or concerned about our guys going out and defending it a second time. Unfortunately, we did not defend it as well the second time."
After Taylor's comments, the Big Ten released a statement and video explaining the decision to put a second back on, which allowed for a final play.
The commissioner of the MAC then released a statement that agreed with the Big Ten's explanation.
