Take that, Michigan.

The Big Ten Network has added enhanced replay review insight to football broadcasts for the rest of the 2026 season, the conference announced Wednesday.

Penn State is currently scheduled for just one game on the Big Ten Network against Buffalo on September 19.

Starting on September 12, all football broadcasts from Big Ten venues that include Big Ten replay and on-field officials will be able to feature live audio between the game referee and replay official during reviews.

The network will also show video of the replay team viewing the game and offer shots inside the Big Ten Replay Center.

The change follows Michigan’s last-second win against Western Michigan in Week 1, which came under immense scrutiny.

The Wolverines appeared to throw the ball out of bounds as time expired, but were given one more shot at the end zone after video review of a clock not available to the public miraculously found one more second.

Michigan was ranked No. 16 during the AP’s preseason poll, but has since fallen out of the rankings since the slip-up.
