I couldn’t find a post about this topic, so sorry if there is one already. First, I don’t want to take anything away from WMU.  They are not a bad team-thus far anyway.  Last year that had an impressive record and they stood toe to toe with Michigan yesterday.  Michigan had 3 turnovers.  I felt bad for WMU last night because the replay all of us watched, showed clearly there was no time left.  This morning I see this different officials replay and it is pretty clear “1 sec” remains.  Conclusions?  Michigan is not very good and Underwood made several bad decisions.  Remember how Pelini cried and made a spectacle in the Big 12 championship.  The ball Colt threw bounced twice before reaching zero.  I admit, I don’t know what Colt was thinking and do not believe to this day his statement about he knew there was plenty of time. Anyway, this incident made me remember that non-controversy controversy.

There can’t be multiple clocks that aren’t in sync. Too much obfuscation.

Last night was the first time I had ever heard of clock syncing. I assumed it was like the “unofficial” yellow first down strip the networks use, so it isn’t something i know anything about.    But, I agree, this needs to be dealt with.

I saw it live. Crazy finish. Thought WMU should have won with 0 on the clock.

I read the rule this am. Makes sense.

But I'm not sure I buy the clock on the replay tweet. People can manipulate a tweet to read 1 second left next to the highlight.

Yeah I still call BS. Michigan should have a loss, it is inexcusable to have clocks that are supposedly not all in sync. That is the most lame and diabolical excuse I have ever heard to make sure a big 10 team gets a win lol I absolutely hate that for WMU.

That's the complete opposite situation, where there was clearly one second left on the clock. Here there clearly was 0:00 on the clock with the ball still in the air. Also it was 2009.

There's literally a video at the top of this thread that shows 1 second left on the clock. I don't understand your confusion over the matter.

Not only the clock issue, but on each of WMU's last two drives there were missed penalties on Michigan that would have extended those drives (including a blatant facemask no call where the helmet was turned halfway around).  Arguably, there shouldn't have even been time for Michigan to try and score if the blatant penalties were called.  Michigan did not deserve to win last night. WMU defense is legit (at least against whatever OL and QB Michigan has this year - have to judge after next weekend), but the WMU office was pretty ineffective for most of the game.  The 13 minute (yes, 13 minutes) drive from third Q into fourth Q for WMU wore down Michigan defense pretty good.

I saw the video from the review itself not too long after the game ended, and it's pretty clear there was one second remaining when the ball is contacted by the player who established himself out of bounds. Unfortunately for Michigan, the narrative has already been set and you can see some of the evidence for that in this thread.

You mean that microwave oven looking clock that seems to be from out of no where? Lol.

The problem I have with the Big 10 response is that I can’t see when the player actually touches the ball. His back is to the camera. I don’t see how this shows that he indisputably touched the ball with one second left. Doesn’t seem like there is enough to overturn the ruling on the field.

Makes one wonder if Andrew Sprague and Jake Guarnera have second thoughts now.

More like Texas dodged a couple of bullets.

Sprague graded out with a 59.2 on 51 snaps

Guarnera was worse.

Texas got better players in Siani and Seymore.
