The Mid-American Conference may believe Western Michigan should have beaten Michigan on Saturday night, but the NCAA says there is no mechanism to turn that belief into a different result.
Michigan is supposed to beat Western Michigan. It has better players, it is at home, and the market has the Wolverines favored by nearly four touchdowns.
Michigan's offense needed a Hail Mary to escape Western Michigan. Its defense spent most of the night making sure one miracle was enough.
That distinction matters.
Justin Roh and Joel Honigford of Blue By Ninety break down Michigan’s last-second loss to Iowa. After dominating the majority of the game and the stat sheet, Michigan’s own mistakes cost the Wolverines against the Hawkeyes.
Michigan spent the last several weeks talking about an offense that needed to evolve.
On Saturday, nothing looked evolved.
Michigan got Iowa-ed.
That is the simplest explanation for how the Wolverines gained 429 yards, averaged 6.3 yards per play, generated six explosive passes and still finished with 19 points.
