A Complete Timeline Of The Aftermath Of Michigan’s Controversial Win

The controversy surrounding the ending of the Western Michigan and Michigan game hasn’t slowed down heading into Week 2.

Despite formal appeals, statements and lingering concerns the backlash shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

How much time was actually left? That still hasn’t been determined with so much discrepancy surrounding the play and the cannon of an arm that Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood showcased on Saturday night.

As things stand now, the call will stand and there will be no action or league involvement.

Here’s a timeline of everything that's happened since the controversial call in Ann Arbor: Michigan entered the matchup as a nearly four-touchdown favorite.

However, Western Michigan hung in there and remained competitive until the final whistle, at one point leading 12-6 and standing on the brink of pulling off the biggest upset in program history.

However, that lead was put to the ultimate test as the clock hit zero and Underwood unleashed a final Hail Mary.

As the ball bounced off multiple defenders in the back of the end zone, the game seemed over... or was it? While the TV broadcast clock showed zero, replay officials came together and confirmed one second remained when the previous pass hit the turf out of bounds.

Given one final chance, Underwood this time launched a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown to JJ Buchanan as time expired.

The wild final play was only the start of a controversial sequence that would become the talk of the college football world.

The controversial call made waves across the sport.

Both Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham and Western Michigan coach Lance Taylor shared their thoughts on the final play, which was impactful enough to prompt official statements from both the MAC and the Big Ten.

"But as I looked, I knew it was close," Whittingham said after the game.

"When the ball sailed back to the end zone, I glanced up at the clock, and it was just ticking to zero, and somebody had touched it.
