Western Michigan


Defensive end Greg Middleton, the nation’s sacks leader in 2007, hit Aaron Winchester in the backfield, jarring the ball loose. Carrington recovered. But Indiana failed to produce a first down that would have run out the clock, so Lynch instructed punter Chris Hagerup to step out of the end zone with 17 seconds left. That made it 23-19.



Western still had a chance from midfield with 7 seconds to go, calling for a hook-and-lateral play that started near the left sideline, came back to the right sideline and wound up with five pitches – the last of which was ruled a forward lateral but ended up in the hands of safety Jerimy Finch as time expired.
