JJ Buchanan explains Michigan's game-winning Hail Mary catch

Michigan wide receiver Buchanan reflects on his game winning Hail Mary catch that saved the Wolverines on Saturday.

Ann Arbor, Michigan – Utah transfer wide receiver JJ Buchanan demonstrated his exceptional catching ability during a pivotal moment in Michigan's game. The sophomore from Utah contributed six catches for 126 yards, but his game-winning Hail Mary from 47 yards out secured the victory. Buchanan, when asked about his focus during the play, expressed a simple mindset: "I just got to run down, and hopefully the ball finds you and the ball found me."

He didn't dwell on the complexity of the situation, merely acknowledging the need to ensure the ball ended up in the Wolverines' possession. Buchanan's ability to make critical plays under pressure was evident, but he also expressed relief at the outcome, noting that it shouldn't have come down to such a dramatic moment. As Michigan prepares for a key matchup against Oklahoma, Buchanan's performance highlights his importance to the team's success.
