Texas HC Steve Sarkisian 'shocked' by Michigan fans

He went on to discuss what happened immediately after the final play.

"My biggest thing was, I was shocked they stormed the field," Sarkisian said. "That was probably a surprise."

Sarkisian joins many others in being surprised seeing Michigan fans storm the field after a win over a MAC school. The Wolverines were also heavy favorites and it took a controversial final play to actually pull out the victory.

The fact Sarkisian commented on the game and the field storming shows how big of a story this game was in Week 1. Michigan fans even inserted themselves into the overall story with a surprise field storm.

Such a move is usually reserved for a major upset over a tough opponent, such as a win over Ohio State or a school like Texas. Doing so against WMU opened up the fanbase to plenty of punchlines over what they deem worthy of a field storm.

Michigan must now put all the criticism behind it as the team prepares to host an Oklahoma Sooners team that will be much more of a challenge than Western Michigan was.
