Veteran coaches surprised that stadium clock was not official clock in wild Michigan win Saturday

The confusion over Saturday's Michigan-Western Michigan game outcome exemplifies how instant replay has complicated sports, according to FS1's Nick Wright. On First Things First, Wright declared replay review "bad in all of its forms," often inaccurate and detrimental to fans' experience. He highlighted the convoluted time-keeping system and Western Michigan player's involvement in the replay, which ultimately added 1 second to the Michigan clock and allowed the comeback.

Wright argued that replay review is inaccurate, inconsistent, and opens the door to speculation about corruption. He noted that players and coaches on both teams, as well as fans, reacted in real time to the game's events and were not confused. However, once the Big Ten replay officials intervened, the situation became muddled for viewers.

Wright contended that while replay corrects some egregious errors, it leads to games ending differently due to questionable overturns or decisions, ultimately not improving the situation.
