The biggest story of the college football season's opening week was Michigan's controversial win over Western Michigan. After the Wolverines appeared to lose on a failed Hail Mary, they were given one last chance to win. The stadium announcer informed everyone that there was one second left in the game, and the referee declared there was third down with one second remaining.
However, the replays did not show any additional time on the clock, leading to confusion and controversy. Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports and a Michigan alum, claimed that Michigan won "fair and square" and that they were simply great teams that found a way to win even when everything seemed lost. He believed that the decision was correct and that Michigan deserved to win.
