  "account": "Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood appeared grim after narrowly securing a 13-12 victory against Western Michigan in the season opener. Trailing 12-7, Underwood's first Hail Mary pass was ruled incomplete as Western Michigan safety Micah Davis touched the ball while out of bounds, granting the Wolverines an extra second. In the end, Underwood found JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard touchdown to secure the win. Fans on social media were quick to comment on Underwood's demeanor during the celebration, with some expressing concern that he should be benched in the following weeks.",
  "summary": "Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood had a pretty odd reaction after barely surviving Western Michigan in the season opener. Trailing 12-7, Underwood’s first Hail Mary appeared to fall incomplete with the clock at zero.",
