Michigan's last-second Hail Mary victory over Western Michigan has sparked a firestorm of "rigged" accusations from fans, and the Big Ten's own explanation may have raised more questions than it answered. Western Michigan players had already started celebrating. The stadium clock read zero. The Broncos, 27.5-point underdogs, appeared to have pulled off the biggest upset in Michigan football in nearly two decades. Then officials stepped in, put one second back on the clock, and gave the No. 16 Wolverines a second chance at a Hail Mary. Bryce Underwood launched a 47-yard strike to JJ Buchanan, and Michigan escaped with a 13-12 win at the Big House in Ann Arbor on September 6. The ruling turned on a single player: Western Michigan's Micah…Open

LSU’s 51-10 thrashing of Clemson in Baton Rouge has reignited debate about whether Dabo Swinney can still deliver for the Tigers after years of declining results and costly decisions. LSU didn’t just beat Clemson on a stormy Saturday night in Baton Rouge, they steamrolled them. The 51-10 rout wasn’t close, and the box score paints an even grimmer picture for a program that once stood atop college football. Swinney’s Tigers managed just eight first downs to LSU’s 38 and a paltry 40 rushing yards. By halftime, Clemson had already switched quarterbacks. Christopher Vizzina, who started, threw for only 83 yards on 16 attempts and gave up a pick-six. Freshman Tait Reynolds relieved him, tallying just 22 passing yards and…Open
