Hour 1: Was Western Michigan Robbed?

About this episode

The episode discusses a controversial ending in a college football game involving Michigan and Western Michigan, along with insights on Clemson's performance and standout players from the weekend.

First Take begins with a major clock controversy at the Big House. Michigan connects on a last second hail mary to beat Western Michigan by one. But on the broadcast there was no time left after the play before, how was this possible? Next Dan Orlovsky said he wasn't shocked by Clemson's performance against LSU on Saturday. Did anyone else expect this result? Should we have? Does this signal the beginning of the end of the Dabo Swinney era in Clemson? Then both Trinidad Chambliss and Dante Moore had great games to power their teams to victory this past weekend. Who means more to their squad? Learn more about your ad choices.
