First of all that was an absolutely fantastic experience a great football game congratulations to every single young man who participated in it initial thoughts about what we just saw well I think we saw Michigan start the game with physicality and they won the first quarter then Alabama fought back in the
Middle of that game third quarter Alabama dominated but down the stretch Michigan offense wore out the Alabama defense overtime there two runs to get a touchdown they were just having their way with them and there were some special teams erors there were some snaps there there was a lot that went
Wrong it was an ugly game at the end credit to Michigan yeah two incredible teams both deserving of getting a chance to go play for a championship but in the end in the fourth quarter Michigan did not flinch fourth and two in their own backed up they go for it they get it
Great play design again picks and rubs with the backs that goes back to game planning we talked about that all day and how few times we’ve ever seen Alabama get out game plan and out adjusted I believe Michigan did that today say give Coach Harbaugh and his
Coaches a lot of credit but also give these players for Michigan a lot of credit for not flinching Alabama in the third and halfway through the fourth we dominating yeah with the time of possession we’re dominating with momentum we’re dominating physicality Y and one of the things that slowed it
Down with the snaps then Michigan got some stops then they said okay everything comes down to this offense putting together a drive with 3 minutes and 30 seconds to go and they did it it wasn’t pretty but they didn’t Flinch you know Alabama did not do what they wanted
To do and you’re right you give Michigan all the credit because they won the football game and you’re right Alabama adjusted they came out at second half they played much better in the second half than they did the first half but when it comes down to it you got to make
The plays at the most opportune moments Michigan did that Alabama did not they did not pass off Blake hn was wide open Roman Wilson wide open for the touchdown and then in overtime they Misfit two runs and Blake km scores that quick and then you have a quarterback draw on
Fourth and three where you empty it out and then at that point you tell the whole stadium it is quarterback draw and Michigan is going to allout Blitz that is how you end up losing this game and this game was ugly guys we saw I mean think about the punt think about the
Punt right there towards the end of regulation the punt is muffed on the half inch line there were terrible snaps throughout when you motion look they’re blitzing everybody so when you motion the running back out you make you make it easy for the defense two things on
That play one your puller misses who he’s supposed to go to if he picks him up there’s a shot he gets in the end zone the second thing is is the man that’s running with your back is late if he turns and throws it out there it’s
Manto man he’s got the edge if it’s accurate it’s also probably a touchdown yes both those things very correctable but that’s high also again there a low snap yes I I I can’t stress enough I went back and tracked the Georgia game 15 snaps in the
Georgia game were at or below the knees of Jaylen milro that drive on back-to-back low snaps completely killed momentum that is unacceptable at the end it looked like Jaylen milro was playing short stop with every snap didn’t know where it was going to be was it going to
Be high and hot to the right was it going to be low that was a huge storyline and it happened in the most critical moments no doubt Michigan will now have the opportunity to play for a national championship for the first time since [Applause] 1998 so I can Brea

Sec commentators are so sick 😂😂
The best part of this is & will be watching the ESPNSEC anchors crying and making excuses…
“it just means more” 😂😂😂
My Michigan brothers and sisters, we need to enjoy every minute of this but also prepare for the big one. All we heard was how we were scared of bama
The announcers almost ruined the game
Comments havnt dissapojnted 😂
That 4th & 2 call was one of the best calls I’ve seen in years. It took guts and it paid off.
1:05 Bro left hanging
Excuses, excuses, excuses! Michigan just won the football game! I don’t care how many low snaps there were, mistakes were made on both teams! Give Michigan some credit!
Questionable play call at the end. I was yelling watch out for sweep to the right or left. That fine QB for Alabama running right into the strength of the M defense? I listened to the game and the M announcers were surprised Alabama didn't keep that freshman back in the game.
Poor ESPN-there will be plenty of hedging and excuse-making…already happening.
Instead of talking about how Michigan won they are butthurt about bama losing lol
As a Alabama fan, Im calling in sick for the whole week or quit, Im not facing the Michigan or Seminoles fans. We bet the loser buys 5 dozen roses and wear a dunce hat for the remaining of the week.
About time michigan pulled some of the weight for the Big10.
Alabummer and the experts will say michigan stole the game. Let the excuses begin.
Michigan knew way too many of alabama plays all you have to do is watch the game
I’m a Tulane Ivy League Alumni Michigan is fearlessly relentless to play to Win they did not play to lose !
JH is NFL ..Saban forgot that hahahahha
It’s never pretty Tebow
It’s about the WIn
Michigan literally almost disintegrated
Special Teams were horrible
This is why true fans hate ESPN. It's so clear the entire panel is upset that Alabama lost.
Tebow is an SEC homer… Congrats to Michigan, and a great season and recovery for Alabama. Saban is still the GOAT.
Michigan will lose against Washington
FIRST HALF FOUR SACKS! M crushed A on the line! Poor commentators were caught with nothing to say about there almighty ALABAMA BEING CRUSHED!
