Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood avoided disaster Saturday night by completing a last-second Hail Mary to take down Western Michigan. Of course, the play itself was controversial after the Wolverines were seemingly given an extra second to attempt one final play.
Yet the reality of the situation is that Michigan is 1-0 and Underwood helped his team take home the win. The victory helps distract from the fact he finished 12-of-22 for 170 yards and a touchdown, with 47 of those yards and his only touchdown pass coming on that final play.
That is not what Michigan and head coach Kyle Whittingham had in mind for Underwood against a MAC opponent in WMU.
