Game Thread: The University of Michigan vs the University of Alabama (Rose Bowl)

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The ALABAMA center probably cost them a national title.

It was fitting that he botched the snap yet again, even with that awful play call.

 

[Judge Fudge]

LATUHM TRIPPED HIM

 

[Wazmankg]

I want to see a replay.

I think the snap got fucked up

Nope. He just tried to take it right up the gut.. stupid. The snap wasn't perfect but that wasn't the reason it failed.

It would have worked but Milroe got tripped

 

[Jordan23]

His lineman got pushed so far that he got tripped up by his own player. That’s why he went down so quick.

@ThereIsNoPlace you seriously can’t see how Georgia should have been in? Lol

over who?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

It was a bad snap that completely took away any RPO options to the leak out guy completely uncovered to the left... or even lateral runs

The horrible snap forced him to try to run it forward.

2 things.

Look at JC Lathum. He tripped him

2) Why didn't he audible? 7 guys. Pass it

 

[Tahuyaman]

Bama deserves 2 retribution calls imo.

Officiating was not the reason Alabama lost. They made too many mistakes and they got manhandled by the Michigan defensive line.

The game had excitement and suspense, I couldn't ask for more. It may not be the best ever or the greatest but for this playoff it delivered. It delivered in many ways and will be scrutinized for months to come. Big 10 v SEC will probably get the ink considering the SEC dominance for so many years and all the Big10 could muster was OSU, well Michigan came through and they may just be the best this year ( although I would have liked to see them play Georgia )
Hope the next game gives us the same entertainment

The best outcome would have been the bomb bay doors of the stealth bomber not jamming up….

Ok. I think him shooting up the middle was the play though. I don't think the snap had much to do with it.. it wasn't THAT bad.

I didn’t say that.
But it was roughing the kicker. And bama should have gotten a first down

 

[Janus]

What I want to know,=is, Michigans first go at it and such a high profile game, WHERE was BRADY?

Congrats to Michigan on their first Rose Bowl win since 93

it's crazy to me the all this bluster for Georgia. They lost their playoff game. I'm not sure why we even play a season if we are going to keep whining about this.

Matches the 2014 NFC Championship in my Book

Ya IDK about the trip ( the Michigan defense could have pushed him a certain way ya know, so many ifs ) The QB had to make the play, and he didn't.
If you want to run, don't go up the middle, ya have a better chance of outrunning someone than muscling through all that beef.
Personally, I thought it would have been a pass, I mean all those WRs and a TE with all the left-side space but hey just my opinion. Michigan d-line was doing better than their secondary

I don't believe that you're still crying about that as if it would have mattered.
