The ending of the Michigan football and Western Michigan game was controversial. While it was exciting for fans of the maize and blue, with the walk-off Hail Mary, there was an argument to be made that the Wolverines should not have been given a final play, with one second added back to the game clock.
However, the Big Ten disagrees with those who say it shouldn't be the case.
The conference released a late statement following Michigan's 13-12 win over the Broncos, saying that the referees acted properly in adding a second to the clock.
