Michigan State professor mocks Michigan following controversial game clock adjustment

Michigan State finance professor Thomas Rimer used his classroom this week to critique the officiating in Michigan’s recent 13-12 win over Western Michigan. During the game, held on September 5, officials added one second to the clock following a defensive play, allowing Michigan to score a 47-yard touchdown. Rimer recorded a video for his students addressing the incident, stating that his own exam timers would not be subject to similar extensions. The Mid-American Conference has since unsuccessfully appealed the game result, which has drawn widespread scrutiny from fans and analysts. Michigan and Michigan State are scheduled to face each other for the Paul Bunyan Trophy on November 7 at Michigan Stadium.
