I just found where TheBabyInThe Crib wrote this in another thread:
"Michigan is going to get steamrolled. If Nick Saban coached this year's Ohio State team Michigan loses that game by 30. Not many players on Michigan could start for OSU."
Seriously, what a total clown.
Alabama's top RB averaged 8 yards a carry in the game and only got 14 touches despite Alabama leading the entire 2nd half.
That's bad coaching.
Michigan didn't beat Alabama Alabama choked just like OSU did.
It was 6 yards per carry and if you take out the 34-yarder, it was 4.
Alabama didn’t lead for a single second of the 3rd quarter, yet you’ve said this multiple times now. You really are bad at sports takes.
They led 17-13 from with 14:30 to go in the 4th quarter.
They 20-13 with 4:41 to go and led until Michigan tied it with 1:34 to go in the game.
Saban didn't run the ball. He screwed the pooch. His back averaged 8 f*cking yards a carry.
How many times are you going to be wrong tonight? Now less than half = entire. Seriously, stick to your politics schtick. It’s less objective so you can continue to tell yourself you are right. Sports have hard data, and you struggle there.

When you're averaging 7.7 yards per carry with your number 1 back and you're up 2 scores in the 4th quarter you should win the game.

This is true even if it hurts your feelings.
Up 2 scores in the 4th? I don't think either team was up scores the whole game.

When were they up 2 scores in the 4th quarter?
There are those pesky objective facts again. You truly are bad at this. Leave the sports to the adults.

That’s an overly simplistic take that ignores context. Let’s look at Alabama’s fourth quarter offense in context:
1st possession: McClellan runs it in for a touchdown to cap off an impressive drive and take the lead. I assume you’re ok with that.
2nd possession: Milroe throws for a first down on the first play (obviously a good result for Alabama) and then fumbles on the second play after a 5-yard run.
3rd possession: Alabama does just fine moving the chains, but their drive stalls after a penalty that gives them 1st and 15. Not sensible to run the ball in that scenario. They still got a field goal to extend their lead to 7. A good result for them, considering how well their defense had been playing.
4th possession: Tie game, starting at their 25 with only 1:34 left on the clock. Not the time to be running the ball.
When you look at the context, it’s foolish to say not giving it to McClelland is the reason they lost. They scored 10 points in the quarter, which is very good. They just couldn’t stop Michigan from scoring in the clutch.
Give credit to Michigan, who outgained Alabama in yards 351-288. The biggest reason Alabama even had a chance to win at the end is because of Michigan’s miscues on special teams. Overall, Michigan proved to be the better team.
Can we all put the Rose Bowl behind us and collectively agree that no one in the country wants Michigan to win over either Washington or Texas? If this can't bring the country together nothing ever will.
