Well I'm a say this...they was prepared for sure but the biggest ISSUE and it's been this way all season was...#56! I don't care how you cut it or slice it.
Him and the coaches tote 98% of this loss today because the wouldn't pull him. The other two percent is on Tommy Rees & the linebackers (Coverage)!

At some point Nick has to take some blame there. He can pull the kid as the HC. It was clear he needed to be pulled and him and Rees were a bigger reason for the loss. Defense I felt played well enough for us to win. The play calling and dumb center play ultimately cost us.

This was nothing like the 2017 Clemson game. Bama won time of possession by almost 5 minutes; our D were not gassed as Michigan ran 59 plays to our 66. Our D was holding Michigan to short possessions in the second half until the last two drives…the D blew it late but there was plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the ball, except for our special teams which was exceptional…

I thought Rees called a great second half

I understand the frustration here, but are we sure we have a better Center?
Yes, I understand we should have recruited one but even if we have a guy who is better at hiking the ball, is he better at blocking too? Or at least as good?

It happens to a tired defense. The loss was a team effort, but I’m still going to blame the guy that basically abandoned the running game in the first half when it was the only thing working. And How about that 4th and 4 call after 2 timeouts ? Brilliant! How did the Michigan goal line defense ever see that coming?

Milroe had a chance to win it in regulation. He couldn't get it done.
Then the 4TH down call in OT was the shittiest play call I have EVER seen. Michigan had a billion sacks and on the most important play of the game we run it right into the teeth of their defense? After 2 timeouts?
Even the coaches didn't trust Milroe to throw it.
