Western Michigan was the talk of college football during opening weekend after suffering a controversial 13-12 loss at No. 18 Michigan. The Wolverines were given an extra play due to a stadium clock synchronization error and won the game on a walk-off 47-yard Hail Mary.
Earlier this week, Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson called Western Michigan an “undefeated football team. Period, end of story.”
Boise State kicked off its season with a 34-27 road loss at No. 20 Oregon followed by victories over Memphis (38-20) and South Dakota (38-24).
