Western Michigan Won't Appeal Michigan Loss

Despite the clock controversy that erupted after Michigan's 13-12 victory, Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna stated he didn't "discern anything unfair or untoward" with the Big Ten's replay decision that added one second to the clock. Kavalhuna confirmed he spoke with Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and his staff regarding the discrepancy between the viewing public's perspective and the officials' review.

Western Michigan head coach Lance Taylor echoed this sentiment, stating "ultimately, the refs did not cost" the Broncos the game. The Big Ten maintained its officials made the correct call, explaining that defender Micah Davis "started his jump from an established out-of-bounds position" with one second still showing. MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher also released a statement confirming the Big Ten's explanation after seeking clarification. zeppelin.cool
