Well. I understand putting a second on the clock now. I take back what I said. Too bad for WMU.

So what clock was shown on the TV screen?
Are they claiming that what was shown on screen was not an official clock?
If that's the case they need to make a change to how they broadcast the games.
Edit: this tweet shows a video replay, in which you can see the clock hit zero.
I watched it live and rewound it, saw the announcers watch the replay and say it hit zero.

They're just lying. Brazen lying. They expect everybody to just eat their crap and like it.

I know, you know, we all know that if Western Michigan had the ball, 1 second wouldn't have been added.and the game would have been over.
Penn state did the right thing with Franklin. Especially if you've seen Drew Allar's progress and the amount of guys entering the NFL over last few years.
Dabo had about 9 guys drafted last spring and 7 the year before. There is definitely a problem connecting to this new generation problem at Clemson.

There was also uncalled holding on 96 (just as Underwood releases the ball, shown in the video from this tweet)
The Big Ten needs to explain why the clock shown on the broadcast hits zero and why it doesn't match the clock the replay officials were watching.
This was a particularly egregious mistake and trying to claim it wasn't a mistake damages the credibility of CFB more than if they had come out saying it was an error.

Hard to imagine refs would so brazenly and publicly cheat, let alone do so for such a minuscule chance that it would benefit their team.

Maybe they already scored so many times they wanted to see 2 point conversion package? Don’t you wish TCU had such “problems”?

I have no way to explain it but the inset clock, which they said was synchronized, went to zero before the ball was touched.
Did someone alter the video shown to the replay officials? Did the TV clock inset show the ONLY stadium clock that wasn't synched?
Michigan is the same program that had a staffer dressed as a CMU coach on the CMU sideline for a Mich St game and also had people filming opposing coaches in advance to steal signs. Given that, I'm not able to rule out another form of cheating.
I think we would all say it was hard to imagine Stalions dressed as a CMU coach.

I don't think they care a whit about credibility anymore. It's all about the money.
Mrs. Brewingfrog and I were watching that thievery last night. She was right on the money when she said, "They'll just give them another second. It doesn't matter what the clock said, it's Michigan." When the extra play was finished, she was finished. "I don't know why I bother to watch anymore. It's all fixed. I'm going to bed."
Where I used to live, there was a Mayor who was crooked. Everybody knew he was crooked, but he kept it under the radar enough that it was "acceptable" crookedness. He knew what the host would tolerate in a parasite, and he stayed under the limit where the host would suffer damage or trauma. The modern College Football apparatus no longer has that parasitic limiting factor. They're just throwing their remaining reservoir of integrity out the window and going full WWE on us, and it doesn't matter what the consequences are. They see it as simply "entertainment" and figure that the majority of the viewing audience will always accept the outcome because they had fun watching. I imagine they would point to last night's example as "Just good, exciting television." Doesn't matter that it was crooked as hell, there was an exciting finish! And the Big Program won! B1G, man!

Maybe cheating is institutionalized there, but hard to think Wityingham would
yeah, if anybody was gonna figure out a way to do that, my money would be on the big ten top dogs.

From the article on espn.com today.....
The Big Ten stood by the review in a statement released two hours after the game. The league also issued a recording of the replay as it was reviewed by officials in Rosemont, Illinois, showing the game clock at one second when Davis touched the ball.
"It was determined (Davis) started his jump from an established out-of-bounds position [left foot] and made contact with the ball with one second remaining on the clock," the conference said, citing the rule that stops the clock on such contact. "A side-by-side view of the play and the game clock, using a direct shot of the game clock in the stadium, was used to determine the final ruling."

Western Michigan president: Big Ten's replay process not 'as good as it could be'
Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna told ESPN that he didn't think the Big Ten's replay process that put a second back on the clock, leading to Michigan's winning touchdown pass over the Broncos, "is as good as it could be."

I understand people are upset, but if you were in the replay booth and watching what they were supposedly watching I don’t know how you’d expect them to rule it differently. When the kid’s hand touched the ball the clock showed 1 second, and that is when the clock is supposed to stop, correct? I might be missing part of the story???From the article on espn.com today.....
