Overview
- Michigan secured a 13-12 victory when Bryce Underwood threw a 47-yard Hail Mary to JJ Buchanan after officials restored one second on review Saturday.
- The replay decision that put time back on the clock is widely criticized by commentators and rules analysts who say TV replays showed the clock at zero.
- Michigan’s offense struggled for most of the game, with Underwood’s timing and footwork uneven and the run game failing to get traction.
- Kyle Whittingham’s debut as Michigan head coach ended in a win that preserved the program’s near-perfect record versus MAC opponents and avoided a rare upset for the Broncos.
- The finish produced a field storm, strong public reaction and calls for the Big Ten or game officials to explain the timing review before Michigan faces Oklahoma next weekend.
