However, officials after review put one second back on the clock, allowing Underwood to connect with JJ Buchanan for a Hail Mary touchdown on the last play of the game, giving Michigan a 13-12 win over WMU.

That later led to a rarely seen sight in Michigan Stadium, as Wolverines fans rushed the field to celebrate the victory:

Amidst the chaos, first-year coach Kyle Whittingham, seemingly aware of the miraculous nature of his first win in Ann Arbor, called it "one for the history books." Adding to the momentous nature of the scene was the fact he gave the interview amid the crowd of Wolverines fans who had thronged onto the field at Michigan Stadium.

It has also drawn consternation from the larger football world, with many questioning whether the Broncos weren't "robbed."
