Right. If NU wins first half 50-27, the game would rightly be called a blowout. But reverse it and suddenly NU struggled against an inferior opponent. Whatever.
I think that's fair.
Unfortunately, I think there was a lot of CYOA in that situation. To think these guys are anything but employees of the school in a multi-billion dollar enterprise is probably living in the 1950s. Waiting until it was too late to come up with a workable framework that kept most of what we enjoy intact with a sensible solution is no longer in the cards, I'm afraid.
Deboer will be on the hotseat if this keeps up. Bama was a double digit favorite against a depleted Michigan team. Then Michigan's only throwing quarterback got hurt and still Alabama could not pull it out. Love it. Congrats, Sherron Moore. What a finish by the Wolverines this year AGAINST ALL ODDS. Does not make our blowout loss to them look so bad either.
That offended you? Everybody on the team in the summer of 2023 is still owed an apology from Gragg and Schill.
After that is delivered, you can be offended by former players who resent what happened to them.
Oops Michigan probably gonna lose this game as they let too much time and didn’t try enough to get a first down on their last drive. There was too much time left to just RUTM 3 times. Should have done a sweep or screen pass or something .
Impressive defensive stand after getting gashed down the field. Apparently a number of Mich defensive stars out too.
Deboer should’ve stayed at Washington and kept building. I think Saban anticipated that Bama would not be as dominant with NIL and revenue sharing allowing other programs to buy talent.
He must exasperate his coaches. So talented, but leaves so many plays in the field in the passing game. Often late on his throws. It’s hard to play QB.
That said, he’s on the cusp of bringing Bama back for a win on the final drive.
