OT: CFP Michigan/Alabama Rose Bowl

[RUTGERS95]

The low snap ends up as a TD lol

I need a drink

lol

I need a drink

lol

What will be will be, I just hope for good fun games. If not too, oh well lol.

 

[miketd1]

Bama is good, but it’s 7-0 more due to Michigan mistakes.

 

[RuSnp]

Bamas line looked so iffy first drive (and certain times during the season) that I still see this going Michigan's way.

 

[mdk01]

Keying on Alabama's ORT Latham as a potential Giant's draft pick.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Well if they get blocking like that TD run, why not lol.

 

[RUaMoose]

Bama gonna win a Natty and they might not even be the best team in the SEC (Georgia)

Not if they keep making mistakes like the first 2

 

[RuSnp]

I mean yeah. If Michigan goes 3 and out or fumbles every possession they won't win. Agree.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Some motion and misdirection from
Michigan in those couple plays. That’s how Auburn ran on Alabama. That’s what they need to do because I don’t see them bullying Alabama straight up like the normally do to other teams.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Looking like a good drive for Michigan and much needed after the start.

I think only Bama could have beat GA.
Smart coached at Bama 2007-2015 so Saban and Smart know each other's games very well.
They also recruit a lot of the same players.
Saban/Smart look at the other team's players and they followed many of them in HS and talked to their families. They know the strengths/weaknesses

 

[RU848789]

Nice drive, tied up. Good.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Good answer and nice drive. I like the calls on that drive. I like it, could be shaping up to be a fun game.

 

[RuSnp]

The walk in touchdown. Against Bama no less. I'd like to see more of those from us next year.

 

[miketd1]

Solid response.

 

[rutgersguy1]

What KH just said is exactly what I think Michigan needs to do more of to be effective…create confusion. Normally you know what they’re going to do and they try to run it right at you and it’s like try and stop us but that drive more motion, misdirection and deception.

 

[miketd1]

The motions, shifts, jet sweeps and fakes off of it are reminiscent of Pitt under Matt Canada.

Yea that’s good comparison but I also think of PSU’s new OC from Kansas Andy Kotelnicki

 

[rutgersguy1]

I’m surprised he slid there and didn’t try for the first

 

[ru109]

Wow did Milrose bail out on that.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Ooh that’s a tough penalty that gets them behind the chains.

 

[koleszar]

Michigan's playing like a bunch of jackasses in this 1st quarter. Their own mistakes are keeping them from a lead.

 

[miketd1]

Shifts and motions are really messing Bama up.

Plus they have the cheating down to a science this year .

 

[ashokan]

Bama with 1 reception for 11 yards in 1st

 

[ashokan]

Guy makes a tackle and Kirk is praising "physicality."
Only football does this drivel

Going into the game I thought Alabama had the edge if Michigan played the way they played during the year. But they’ve changed a little with the month to prepare. It’s not just we’re going to run you over, try and stop it but a little more creativity, deception and motion.

Their defense has looked pretty good too so far.

Looking like it should be a good game, probably even in a little in Michigan’s favor. I’ve changed my expectations of what this game can be after that first qtr.

 

[ru109]

Michigan's D line is just running over Bama's OL.

Bama cant pass at all so far.
11 Bama passing yds and like 4 sacks allowed
Michigan #2 for passing defense

 

[RU from Jersey]

Go Big Blue. As much of an ass Coach Jimmy is, I just can't stand the holier than thou SEC with Bama leading the way.

Bama O line better start stepping up to protect the QB this is ridiculous.

 

[ClassOf02]

Crazy to see an Alabama O line getting manhandled like this. We’ll see if Saban can work his magic.

 

[RUboston]

Rooting for M and the Big Ten here. Ohio State, PSU, and Iowa, the supposed other Big Ten big boys, didn't show. Wisconsin played a good game vs. LSU but still came up short. It feels strange to say but go Michigan!

Its unusual to see a Bama OL just deflate in 1st quarter

 

[miketd1]

How the heck did we hang with this Michigan team for 3 quarters..?

 

[ashokan]

McCarthy threw a Wimsatt lol

I think they’ve done a good job pressuring but I also think they’ve done enough to get in Milroe’s head. If you’re in his head then he can make mistakes. I don’t see him as the most poised.

Because we are better than people think

Even Brady broke-up with pass rushes in the middle
