Michigan had an excellent year period finishing 10-2 and an excellent chance of finishing at 11-2 with a good bowl win on New Year's Day. Yes, it sucks losing today to Ohio State and there were some very questionable calls, however, there are a couple things to consider here. Michigan dominated the game until 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and they should have NEVER been in the position to go into an OT against the Bucks. The fumble on the 3 yard line and the Loyd Carr conservative play calling when all that was needed was a simple first down to drain more clock. Drevno really blew it today when Michigan needed him the most. Also, when you have the best defense in the nation, NO one should score as easily as Ohio State did in the over time periods. That was really disappointing. Some points I would like to throw out there.
#1- Graduation cannot come quick enough for Kyle Kalis. He is horrible and cost Michigan dearly today on numerous occasions.
#2- Wilton Speight is not as good as everyone has touted him to be this year. His ridiculous forcing of throws today (one leading to pick 6) and his fumble on the 2 yard was terrible. Brandon Peters and McCaffrey cannot get ready quick enough for me. Maybe Peters can beat him out next year. (Can we please getting a running threat at the QB position. It has helped the Buckeyes tremendously over the last decade of football)
#3- Michigan losing at Iowa cost them a playoff spot. The loss today would mean nothing had they taken care of business at Iowa. They would still be a contender.
#4- Urban Meyer is a great coach and kept his composure when his team was being drilled keeping them in a non panic (keep churning mode). Harbaugh went nuts at the end of the 3rd quarter and Michigan played like shit during the 4th quarter.
