The controversy out of Ann Arbor has cooled down just a touch. Western Michigan president Russ Kavalhuna said Sunday he didn't discern anything unfair about the Big Ten's decision to put an extra second back on the clock, the second that gave Michigan a thirteen to twelve win on a forty-seven yard Hail Mary. Classy response, but the wound is fresh, and now the Wolverines have Oklahoma coming to town this Saturday — a ranked matchup that just got a whole lot more interesting after that wild finish.
Speaking of history, Aroldis Chapman is in rare company. The Red Sox closer notched his four hundredth career save on Sunday, cementing himself among the greatest closers the game has ever seen. That is a number only a handful of pitchers have ever reached, and Chapman keeps adding to a legacy that started with triple-digit heat and has evolved into something far more complete.
Over in the Premier League, Arsenal are making a statement. Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard ran the show against Chelsea, giving the Gunners nine points from three games with just one goal conceded. With no new striker and plenty of skeptics, Mikel Arteta's side is looking like the team to beat once again.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
