yall are moving the goalpost.

The fourth quarter counts the same as the first quarter.

The defense allowed 20 points in regulation over four quarters. I would have taken that before the game in an instant, and assumed our gameplan and personnel could score over 20 points.

Kendrick Law got zero touches.

Bond had 4 receptions

Jam Miller had 1 carry

Justice Haynes had 4 carries

Milroe fumbled the ball away and took like a 100 yards of sacks like he has ALL SEASON, and threw for 116 yds and zero TD's.

The center snapped the ball all over the field from shoe laces to the moon like he has all season. The offense sucked.

Milroe didn’t fumble the ball on his own, the defender knocked it out, it was a great play by him, they made the plays when they had to and we didn’t.

The two defenses that have given up the fewest points in the last 12 years are 2021 Georgia and this years Michigan defense, both gave up 10.2 points a game.

You can say Michigans stats were inflated because of the big10 offenses and maybe so, but they have a great defense this year, and their defense was the cause of most of our struggles on offense.

I disagree. What has been a staple of Nick Saban since he arrived... the 4th Q conditioning program. I think he and his teams pride themselves on being the ones to bow their necks in the 4th quarter and make a play. The defense had their chance on the 4th and 2 and looked absolutely lost again. Michigan OC had been saving that play all game because he knew he could scheme an easy conversion. The offense had a chance to step on their throat with the last drive and didnt do it. The drive is different if Jalen doesnt underthrow Prentice on the deep crosser, but I dont blame him for throwing off his back foot when he had been hit like that all night. I wish our OC had been saving something all night to use in that situation.
