The Michigan vs WMU ending

[All Gas No Brakes]

The clock situation is one story. But there’s something nobody is really talking about. What’s up with that last play call on defense?!? They rushed 4 guys and had a spy, so five guys at or near the line of scrimmage. With one second left you gotta rush three (maybe four) and put everybody else in the end zone.

one second left. No controversy.  Herbstreit and Musbueger both immediately after replay said one second was the right call. Last night the Dadgum ball was in the air with no time left on the clock. It wasn’t close. There was no cover other than a Big 10 network not wanting to make the conference look bad.

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.

I don't disagree, just wondering what they are thinking now.

of course michigan cheats again

Let’s get real the biggest mistake Michigan made was the all maize uniforms.

They are now saying the clock in the stadium was 1 second off from the official clock the replay booth had access to, and when the ball touched the WMU player, there was one second left. They showed the evidence at around midnight after the entire country called then crooks. They got it right. Heartbreaker for WMU.

So how many clocks are there? I would think the one in the stadium that everyone can see should be the one they go by, but I guess not.

It seems legit per specific rule…but man you feel bad for WMU.

 

Also…Michigan is going to get toasted multiple times this year. Ohio State might put up 50.

The Big 10 argument makes zero sense. There is nothing to suggest the clock on the broadcast started early. Are they saying the broadcast clock ran faster than the official clock? Because nine seconds is nine seconds. And they had literally just "reset the game clock" to nine seconds. So, it isn't like there were really 9.9 seconds on the official clock, but only 9 seconds on the broadcast clock. I watched it in real time and I would find it incredibly hard to believe that the play took less than nine seconds.

 

But I also agree with the comment that WMU got too cute with their defense. It makes zero sense to "blitz" a fourth rusher there.

They say there is an official one in the booth. It is supposed to be synced to the field clock, but somehow they got off.

I don't see how they could be out of sync when they literally reset the clock to nine seconds before the play. 

For those that were not watching, Michigan threw a long pass over the middle with no timeouts. They ran up to the line and spiked the ball. The clock ran down to 8 seconds and the official said please reset the game clock to nine seconds. Which the clock that was shown on the broadcast and in the stadium did. So, how did they get out of sync?

When the field clock which is synced to the TV clock said 9 seconds. There was actually 10 on the official clock. No one checked until the review. Their official clock is synced to their replay equipment so they can see 1/100ths of time, frame by frame. They said when the WMU player touched the ball there was one second on their official clock.
