There appeared to be a situation on Saturday that had the Stanford band eating it’s heart out as it was as ridiculous as any final play to a game in college football could ever possibly be.
Western Michigan surrendered 17 straight Ball State points in the fourth quarter and faced a final desperation in hopes of a miracle.
And it appeared they got exactly that on an incredible final play of the game.
CHAOS 🤯

#MACtion, indeed.
I feel safe in stating I’ve never seen a single play in a football game take as long as that one did, whether it counted or not.
However, the illegal forward pass meant the return was ultimately called back and Western Michigan’s miracle was too good to be true, afterall.
Regardless, still one of the most ridiculous finishes you’ll ever see to a game anywhere.
And congrats to Ball State for wrapping up the MAC’s West Division with the win.
