密歇根大学在新任主教练Kyle Whittingham的首场执教比赛中以13-12击败西密歇根大学，但比赛结局因计时争议引发关注。1当比赛时间看似已经结束、西密歇根领先12-7时，裁判添加了1秒钟，密歇根队随即利用这次机会完成了逆转。1在最后的进攻中，四分卫Bryce Underwood传出47码达阵传球给J.J. Buchanan，使密歇根队得以反超比分。1
Big Ten联盟随后对这一判罚做出解释，称他们使用Hawkeye系统作为官方计时工具，而非场内显示的计时钟。1根据联盟的说明，西密歇根防守球员Micah Davis从已建立的越界位置起跳，在计时钟剩余1秒时触球，因此裁判的加时判罚符合规则。1
这一系统的存在引起了教练的质疑。Whittingham表示："我不知道他们有这个Hawkeye系统。"1普渡大学主教练Barry Odom也指出，"直到周六晚上我才知道"。1西密歇根大学主席Russ Kavalhuna认为需要在这一过程中加强透明度。1
Michigan defeated Western Michigan 13-12 in a dramatic finish during head coach Kyle Whittingham's debut, but the victory hinged on a controversial clock decision that has left veteran coaches questioning the transparency of conference officiating procedures.1 With the game appearing to end and Western Michigan leading 12-7, officials added one second to the clock, allowing Michigan to score on a 47-yard touchdown pass to J.J. Buchanan from quarterback Bryce Underwood.1
The Big Ten Conference subsequently explained that it uses the Hawkeye system—rather than the stadium clock visible to fans and coaches—as its official timing mechanism.1 The conference confirmed that Western Michigan defensive player Micah Davis had established his position at the line of scrimmage with his left foot before jumping to touch the ball while one second remained on the official clock.1 However, Whittingham stated he was unaware such a system existed, saying "I didn't know they had this Hawkeye system."1 Barry Odom, head coach at Purdue, echoed this sentiment, noting he only learned of the procedure "Saturday night."1 Western Michigan University President Russ Kavalhuna indicated the conference needs to improve transparency regarding its timekeeping protocols.1
