No. 16 Michigan catches second-chance Hail Mary, survives scare vs WMU

ANN ABOR, Mich. (AP) --- Bryce Underwood converted with a second chance on a
Hail Mary, connecting with JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard touchdown pass that lifted
No. 16 Michigan over Western Michigan 13-12 on Saturday night.
The Broncos were 27 1/2-point underdogs but thought they'd spoiled Kyle
Whittingham's debut when Underwood's first Hail Mary sailed out of bounds with
the clock expired.
Officials called for a review. TV replays showed the clock hitting zero before
the ball hit the hands of a Western Michigan defender, but officials ruled
there was a second left.
Underwood heaved another throw, and Buchanan leaped to snag it and came down
with it in the end zone.
