Western Michigan president confirms no appeal for loss to Michigan

Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna confirmed Sunday that the university will not appeal the result of Saturday’s 13-12 loss to Michigan. The game concluded after a review added one second to the clock, allowing Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood to complete a game-winning Hail Mary pass to JJ Buchanan. Kavalhuna stated during a news conference that there is no formal mechanism to appeal the officiating decision. He added that he observed no unfair conduct in the review process despite the discrepancy between the broadcast and the officials. Western Michigan turns its focus toward its September 12 home opener against Monmouth. Michigan prepares for its upcoming game against Oklahoma at the Big House.
