College Football - Bowl Games

[UMFan83]

That was the most frustrating drive I've seen in some time. 3rd and 12...converted. 3rd and 9...converted. 3rd and 11...stopped but they go for it on 4th and 11 and convert. 3rd an goal from 8 VT throws it 10 feet above the receiver and gets bailed out on a pass interference on a completely uncatchable pass.

 

Oh well , Michigan doesn't deserve to be winning based on their offense so now they aren't.

Boise would have obliterated either of these teams.

 

So. The BCS is not designed to get the best teams in the games, it is designed to get the most money to the schools that already have the most money...including ND.

It would be just as empty if Boise St was there.

 

Thank goodness we got a 2nd team from the 3rd and 6th best conferences in this game then.

A fake punt on 4th and 1 from midfield may be the worst play call possible.

that's what the system is designed to do.

 

Michigan should go to a hurry up offense to change the tempo

Agreed. Just leave your offense on the field if that's what you want to do.

i wish somebody would tell Borges you're not contractually required to run it on first down

Not a lot of maroon or burnt orange in there. From that picture it sure looks like UM fans did their job.

[UMFan83]

Didn't take very long for VT to gain 50 yards and get just outside FG range

The VT side is probably the same side as the press box where that pic was taken.

So the teams all have to fill an entire side of the stadium? Don't they get like 20,000 tickets allotted?

 

Ugh, Michigan's D fails them when its been their rock almost all year.

The tickets are on a specific side for the most part. I attended the 07 Sugar Bowl and all the Notre Dame fans were pretty much together. (LSU fans were of course all over the place.)

Why isn't Hoke calling a TO? He's just conceding OT? There were 45 seconds left and Va Tech was making ST gaffes all game.

[UMFan83]

Given how the game has gone, OT does not favor Michigan at all.

Hoke calls a TO there with 40 seconds to play, VT may just go for it on 4th and 2.

Well that's his stupid fault if he wants to put the game on the line there instead of taking the easy 3 points and likely going to OT, where Va Tech probably has a significant advantage due to their ability to play offense.

[bukie]

It looked like both the ball hit the ground and he came down out of bounds.

[sneakypower]

that's gotta come back

[Andy]

I think elbow grazes the ground in bounds. The ball is more questionable. By the 'indisputable' standard constantly shoved down our throats it should not be overturned.

 

But naturally it was.

[Smack]

They're completely ignoring that he landed out of bounds?

[Andy]

Uh-huh. One field goal too many. Why do coaches keep letting it come down to that?

[UMFan83]

UM, don't be conservative like UGAs coach yesterday.....cost them the game

[sneakypower]

oh thank goodness, i would have been pretty irritated had a 3rd stringer went 5/5

[UMFan83]

UM, don't be conservative like UGAs coach yesterday.....cost them the game

 

They did...and I was wrong. UM WINS!

 

5th 11 win season in school history!

 

I don't know how they won that.

[El Duderino]

Wow, a college kicker that didn't choke

[abuck1220]

why does michigan's fat kicker false start on every fg attempt?
