00:01Michigan got a gift they did they got a gift there's no debating it they got a gift
00:06but they took advantage of the gift here's the thing about life that I often whenever we have
00:14these moments and I don't have a dog in the fight I'm not a western Michigan fan I'm not a
00:18Michigan
00:19fan I'm not an Ohio State fan who wanted Michigan to lose I'm not a Michigan fan praying for the
00:25start of the Kyle Whittingham era to not get off to a ridiculous 0-1 mark after being a monster
00:31home
00:31favorite against a team from the MAC however when you look at the call itself as to how one second
00:42got put back on the clock for Michigan you can understand what the referees what the replay
00:49folks why they did it I'll show you some evidence here in a second you probably have seen it by
00:53now
00:54just in case but the second play is where my mind goes not the first play the first play was
01:03ridiculous and I think there should be a rule change coming from the second play or the first
01:09play rather but the second play well that was on western Michigan like you have to stop two Hail
01:17Hail Marys should you have to have stopped two Hail Marys no okay I get that that's the anger the
01:24clock
01:25hit triple zeros the game was over western Michigan thought they won until they didn't and there is a
01:32confusion about the rule and replay and all of that but at the end of the day if western Michigan
01:37makes
01:37the play at the end of the game Michigan doesn't win you had a chance still the call did not
01:45award the
01:45game to Michigan the call simply allowed Michigan the opportunity to win the game but western Michigan
01:54had the same opportunity and they didn't knock the ball down they did not stop the second play now how
02:02did we get to the second play okay please stop saying it was rigged okay it wasn't rigged not everything
02:10in sports when it goes against your team or it looks like a bad call is rigged okay how did
02:17how did
02:17they how did they get it back this is how they got it back okay number 18 is out of
02:23bounds he is
02:25established as an out of bounds player he then jumps up to try to catch the football when he catches
02:32the
02:33football according to NCAA rule 4-3-2-3-a an out of bounds player who was established as an
02:44out of bounds
02:45player when that player touches the football the clock must stop by using replay the big 10 officials
02:54went and looked at the synced up clocks and they realized that the clock inside the stadium was not
03:01synced up properly with the actual game clock now who is keeping the game clock that's a problem
03:09right who are we looking at who are we expecting to be the quote official timekeeper all right that is
03:19a
03:19huge question and a huge problem and people are angry about wait a minute I'm watching a game I'm
03:27watching the clock and you're telling me that that clock is not actually the game clock that's the
03:35problem because they could go back to the official clock and watch the official clock which was not
03:42synced up with the game clock which was on tv which is on the screen which is in the building
03:47which hit
03:48triple zeros but instead the big 10 goes and takes a look at it and says okay on the official
03:56game clock it's one second 18 is touching the football he had established an out of bounds
04:02position when he jumped thus meaning when he touches the football the rule kicks in and the clock must
04:10stop do I think that rule should be changed yes okay I do I do think that rule should be
04:17changed I think
04:18that rule is not is not good that's that's a bad rule and I think people are gonna have to
04:23take a look
04:24at it because if you are out of bounds and you catch a football shouldn't it be when you land
04:32not when
04:33you touch the ball like if a player catches a football and he lands clock stops the rule says
04:41the clock stops when the player touches the ball so that's why there was one second left versus zero
04:47seconds left and that's where the confusion kicks in so what if the ball hit him and then bounce back
04:55inbounce that's a catch right that would be a catch but it's a good point right it's it's a good
05:01point by
05:02you that wait a minute if he touches the ball why does the clock stop instantly why does that happen
05:10so that's the whole conversation about this rule it's not well known and it's it feels wrong right
05:20it feels like there's something like there could be a play here where wait a minute if a player
05:27establishes himself out of bounds and then he's the first player to touch the football that's an illegal
05:33touch
