That ball had not been touched, was just going over the back line of the endzone on that first hail mary pass.

What is this crap about it was maybe touched before the clock read all zeroes, ********.

Is this the kind of games we want, W Mich was really good last year, they were winning this game and now those players and coaches are sick to their stomachs of an all time memory.

Sure looked like the clock had expired. The booth guy said maybe the clock the refs had wasn't the same. Lololol.... right..

The refs dont keep a clock on the field that is accurate as to whether the ball is touched behind the endzone with 1/2 second left. They cant hit their stopwatch that fast

Yeah sure, just like they explained the illegal fair catch fiasco. Literally the first thing I thought of when I watched this ending. It remains one of the rarest penalty calls in the history of football, a penalty call off a replay review off a bouncing ball that cannot be fair caught lol.

Can you imagine being a player and coach, thinking you just won the game, and then they put that second back on the clock?

If that happened to Iowa, this message board would melt down. LOL

I'm melting down and the hawks aren't even involved.

Just pisses me off when sh*t is so blatantly WRONG. And we all know nothing will happen, just move on and accept it.
