OT: CFP Michigan/Alabama Rose Bowl
- Thread starter rutgersguy1
- Start date
I suppose every qb can be rattled but I think they might have different thresholds and I don’t think Milroe’s is that high.
Left side is the problem. Not picking up twists and getting bull rushed
Physical domination so far. But if you're Michigan you need to start scoring. 7-7 feels like a win for Bama as bad as they're performing right now.
When does Herbie break down and start crying?
This is exactly what I’m saying. They’ve changed their MO and look similar to what Auburn did and it’s been effective. It’s not just bully ball. I think Michigan is playing better than Alabama right now.
Come on ‘Bama, Roll Effin’ Tide! Michigan looks better than Bama so far, but no way am I rooting for Harbaugh and those scumbags!
That’s true, they’re controlling the game but if you don’t put points on the board it means nothing and can later come back and bite you.
Easy there - we need him to point out the "athleticism and physicality" lol.
More motion and deception and first down. And then the next play they luck out on the trick play which looked like it might go awry lol.
As of this point, Michigan is much more physical than Alabama. That is hard to achieve. Tip of the hat to Michigan.
They needed that, you need the points to accompany the domination on the field.
Of course they bobble the XP lol.
Of course they bobble the XP lol.
Shocked Michigan is playing this sloppy and is actually winning.
That play by McCarthy was incredible, catching the overthrown lateral with one hand and then hitting the WR while falling backward and getting hammered. Nice TD by Morris, too. UM just dominating the LOS.
Maybe Alabama has eaten the rat poison Saban often mentions lol and conversely maybe Michigan is motivated after two let downs in prior years and trying to prove the Stallions stuff is nothing.
Maybe. I am not making any conclusions with so much of the game yet to be played.
It’s only a one score game. No matter how much Michigan has dominated the scoreboard is what matters most.
Surprised Saban didn't take the timeout and get a better 3rd down play called, big play there giving up the sack. Fortunate the Ala kicker boomed the 50 yard fg.
Missed EP looms large. Can't give any points to Bama, even one.
Herbstreit definitely towing the ESPN/Disney party line. 5 mins. of how Bama will get better in 2nd half, 20 secs. of pat on the back to Michigan.
He’s not the best decision maker. He’s capable of ad libbing with his legs and making a good play if things break down but Michigan has done a good job of containing him and pressuring him.
Yea they’re in reach of a tie with a FG now and also as the game goes on with additional scores that point can matter.
Considering how much Michigan has pushed Alabama around, it’s still just a 3 point game.
The thing is that Michigan is one of those ugly, B1G "pound you down to Jello in 4th Q" teams.
RU is trying to do the same thing and Mongo shines in 4th
