OT: CFP Michigan/Alabama Rose Bowl

[RU848789]

That muff is just another data point on how risky punt returns are. I haven't read much analytics on it, but I have to think in some cases, especially a close game near the end where I simply just wouldn't field any punts. Sacrifice some yards for zero chance of a huge gamechanging TO.

As I was saying...

 

[RULoyal]

Geez let that punt bounce

exactly!

 

[ClassOf02]

Michigan is lucky there’s no punting in OT.

 

[koleszar]

OT advantage Alabama, do to kicking teams.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

OT advantage Alabama, do to special teams.

and I bet Saban calls for more Milroe designed runs

 

[RW90]

Do they delay kickoff of the next game?

 

[ashokan]

It would suck to miss title game because you cant kick a PAT.
Football games are so ugly these days

 

[RUboston]

Unreal. Fire the entire special teams staff and tell all the players involved in this debacle to head to the portal.

If M even had decent special teams play this game they would be headed to the NC. Hope they can win in OT.

OT advantage Alabama, do to kicking teams.

I was thinking that too but also thought it would be ironic if Michigan wins on a FG in OT while Alabama misses lol

 

[ru109]

this has been a great game. Hopefully the next one is as good.

 

[RUboston]

Muffed punt led to 7 for Alabama, then a missed EP and missed FG. 11 points. Atrocious in a game of tis magnitude.

 

[ru109]

Michigan needs 20 yards to get into field goal range.

 

[RuSnp]

Bama dri


Corum is a Clydesdale - good on goal but thick/slow otherwise

I dunno. Looked pretty impressive there.

 

[RU848789]

UM hadn't run the ball well at all during the 2nd half and all of a sudden, two great runs for a TD. Crazy game.

 

[rutgersguy1]

That’s more of typical Michigan for the TD. Game of momentum swings.

 

[newell138]

I think that will do it for UM

 

[rutgersguy1]

Now if Alabama scores a TD would they go for two lol.

 

[rutgersguy1]

I think that will do it for UM

Looking good for Michigan with two downs to go

 

[rutgersguy1]

Alabama is going to need a mini “gravedigger” lol

 

[RW90]

55 is a big boy.

 

[miketd1]

This has been a hell of a game.

Finally, a playoff game that delivers.

 

[rtabachk]

This has been a hell of a game.

Finally, a playoff game that delivers.

Definitely a great game to watch. Good football all around.

 

[ashokan]

My local NY area has Bama ties so I dont mind Bama winning but a change would be ok too

 

[koleszar]

Great game. Michigan better get those special teams figured out.

 

[RUboston]

Wow. What a dumb call.

 

[RU848789]

Wow, great, exciting game and nice win for UM and the B1G.

 

[ru109]

Great game. Go Michigan.

 

[ashokan]

Bad 4th down play against Michigan D with a short field.
Up the middle? No.

 

[rtabachk]

What a terrible call. A thousand time outs to them do that? Lol.

 

[RUboston]

Milroe had zero chance.

 

[Southern Gentleman]

Congratulations to Michigan!

 

[rutgersguy1]

They stop them. Alabama never goes down easy but what a game and win. They overcame all the STs problems.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes yes yes

Bring it home!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

ugh terrible play call to end the game, maybe a qb draw but a qb dive up the gut?

 

[JDNB]

That could be the championship game

 

[scarknight90]

Wow. Hate Michigan, but what a game and despite the numerous mistakes the stuck with it. Hats are off

 

[ashokan]

Here come the bimbo questions

 

[RULoyal]

What a terrible call. A thousand time outs to them do that? Lol.

How much does Saban get paid?

 

[Postman_1]

Great game! Glad Michigan won

 

[Knight Shift]

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

Bet you are terribly disappointed to see a B1G team prevail.
