Pretenders, not Contenders
It looks like my Michigan Wolverines were pretenders, not contenders for the National Championship. The USC Trojans exploited all of the Wolverine's weaknesses to go on and humiliate them in the Rose Bowl. The game was close for the first half and then the Trojans changed their game plan and it was all over after that.
No pass rush equals no pass defense for this Wolverine team. The Trojans were hitting on all cylinders with their ends catching everything that came close to them. The game was probably over but Michigan still had a chance until the Trojan receivers took over in one sequence where they went 80 yards in 4 plays to score. The first play the end was double covered but he outjumped the Michigan defense and caught the ball. The next play the receiver caught it one handed over his shoulder then two more plays and the game was over.
Next year says the loyal Michigan fan. We can only hope.

Football was not very good to us over the weekend. First my Broncos blow their playoff chances by losing yet another home game to a 6-9 team, and then Michigan embarrasses themselves in the Rose Bowl. Sigh.
Guess it's time to start looking at Basketball and Hockey.
Happy New Year.
