Western Michigan coach Lance Taylor addressed his team's 13-12 loss to Michigan during a press conference on Thursday. While Taylor stated the Broncos are moving on to their upcoming game against Monmouth, he maintained that his team outperformed the Big Ten program for much of the night. The game concluded following a controversial replay decision that restored one second to the clock, ultimately allowing Michigan to score a winning touchdown on a Hail Mary pass from Bryce Underwood to JJ Buchanan. The MAC challenged the replay protocol used in the final sequence, though the Big Ten affirmed the original ruling. Western Michigan forced three turnovers and possessed the ball for over 40 minutes in the defeat. The Broncos now focus on their next opponent as they look to build on a performance that saw them hold the Wolverines scoreless for most of the contest.
