  "account": "Michigan's Kyle Whittingham and No. 16 Wolverines staged a remarkable comeback, clinching a 13-12 victory over Western Michigan at Michigan Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 5. The game seemed to be finished when a Hail Mary attempt from midfield fell short as time expired. However, a replay review added a second to the clock, which proved crucial when QB Bryce Underwood connected with receiver JJ Buchanon for the game-winning score. Despite a series of mistakes and penalties that plagued the offense throughout the second half, Michigan's defense held up well in the first half, preventing Western Michigan from mounting a comeback until the final moments.",
