ANN ABOR, Mich. — Bryce Underwood converted with a second chance on a Hail Mary, connecting with JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard touchdown pass that lifted No. 16 Michigan over Western Michigan 13-12 on Saturday night.
The Broncos were 27 1/2-point underdogs but thought they’d spoiled Kyle Whittingham’s debut when Underwood’s first Hail Mary sailed out of bounds with the clock expired.
Officials called for a review. TV replays showed the clock hitting zero before the ball hit the hands of a Western Michigan defender, but officials ruled there was a second left.
Underwood heaved another throw, and Buchanan leaped to snag it and came down with it in the end zone.
