Urban Meyer reveals how he would have reacted if he had lost to Michigan as WMU did

Urban Meyer would not have been cool, calm and collected had he been on the Western Michigan Broncos' sideline in Week 1 against the Michigan Wolverines.

Western looked to have pulled off the greatest upset in program history by going into the Big House and beating the Wolverines. 

The clock appeared to hit zero as a Bryce Underwood Hail Mary attempt went over the end zone line. 

The issue? It turns out the Big Ten review crew figured Michigan still had one second remaining for one more try at the end zone. They awarded Michigan that one extra second after WMU had already begun celebrating the massive upset win.

Michigan took the other chance, and this time, Underwood connected on the game-winning touchdown pass.

It was controversial, to say the least. So controversial that the MAC even tried to petition the NCAA to overturn Michigan's win.

Through it all, though, Western Michigan was cool, calm, and collected. After the game, head coach Lance Taylor handled the moment with grace and class.

Recently, speaking on "The Joel Klatt Show," former Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said that he would have in no way reacted the way Taylor did.

"I thought Western Michigan handled it as classy as they could," Meyer said, according to Thomas Goldkamp of On3. "I’m not saying I would have went there. I would have lost my mind, because I saw what I saw, there’s three zeros on the board and you celebrate.”

Urban Meyer would have caused a stink had he been Western Michigan's head coach

Meyer saw what the rest of us saw, and that was a Western Michigan win in the Big House.

His time at Ohio State doesn't change what he saw, because again, we all saw it. The problem for WMU was that there is apparently a super-secret replay clock that only a handful of people had access to, and that clock said that Michigan still had one second left to try to save its own hide.

Credit to the Wolverines for doing so, but most would suggest that they should never have gotten the shot.

To that point, the MAC wasn't disputing what happened in that one second. It was clear as day that Underwood made a good throw, and Utah transfer receiver JJ Buchanan came down with it.

The NCAA doesn't have the power to reverse the referee's decision now that it has happened, so Michigan heads into Week 2 as a fraudulent 1-0 while WMU can't claim the biggest upset in school history.

And eventually, everyone will move on. If Meyer was in the hot seat, though, he wouldn't go away as quietly, or as respectfully, as Western Michigan ultimately has.
