I can't believe I haven't heard anybody else talk about this part of the play. That was just so stupid. I watched that play over and over. If anyone gets the opportunity, take a close look at at least 1 Michigan blocker (I use the word blocker loosely) at about the 25-30 yard line. He and others had already given up on the play. Michigan very easily could have gotten into the end zone on that play with: 1. A cut back to the inside rather than down the sideline. 2. A lateral to the quicker guy trailing the runner. 3. The runner ran past 2 blockers who hadn't given up on the play. 4. The other blockers who DID give up on the play staying in there ahead of the runner. Split second decisions, I know. But, Michigan had a golden opportunity to get into the endzone. It appeared that only the few guys who ended up being in on the tackle were the only one's on that team that didn't give up on the play. Agreed. I only saw the replay a couple of times, but didn't they have the numbers? FWIW I recall Michigan staff on the field, which probably led to that blocker thinking the play was over.
