Summary
Craig Carton called Michigan fans "morons" for storming the field after the No. 16 Wolverines escaped Western Michigan 13-12 on a last-second Hail Mary.
1 second was restored after officials ruled a Broncos defender touched Bryce Underwood's first desperation throw out of bounds, giving Michigan one more snap that produced the winning touchdown to J.J. Buchanan.
27-point favorite Michigan drew sharper ridicule because the celebration followed a home win over a MAC opponent that has never beaten an AP top-20 team.
Big Ten and MAC statements backed the clock decision, but the finish still left Michigan facing scrutiny before Saturday's home game against Oklahoma and fresh questions about Underwood's hold on the QB1 job.
