Oh come on. They kept running the ball the entire final drive, and Michigan frequently failed to tackle the runner. What were they supposed to do, sit on it?

Harbaugh also used up his timeouts on that drive. Why should Bama quit trying if he’s doing that?

“Guy in L.A.”

LA as in “Lower Alabama”?

I don’t blame Saban but it was somewhat out of character. Too bad for the MI QB whose final pass of his college career was an interception.

I’m reminded of a Barry Switzer statement when one of his Oklahoma teams was accused of “running up the score”. He basically said that by game end he was usually playing second and third string players. His question was this: When I send in the reserves, should I tell them to play badly?

Also, a 12 point lead with six minutes left is not necessarily a secure lead.
