Maybe Michigan didn’t ruin college football Saturday night. Maybe college football was already broken.
But watching Western Michigan celebrate what appeared to be a historic upset, only for officials to find one second hiding on the clock and give Michigan another Hail Mary attempt, sure felt like the final straw.
Bryce Underwood then hit JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard touchdown, turning what should have been a legendary Western Michigan story into another Michigan miracle.
Yes, the Big Ten defended the ruling. But that’s almost beside the point.
College football is supposed to be chaotic, unfair and occasionally ridiculous.
Not manufactured by replay into giving a team another chance after the clock hits zero.
If this is the future, we’re in trouble.
