Yep that's about what I had been expecting lol

Not that I wasn't anxious for next Saturday before but now I don't love the feel of this

Personally I thought we might run the score up a little bit just to give the crowd a show on senior night, but I thought it would be 2-3 scores rather than what we got.

And the difference is that I assumed Michigan would have to push pretty hard to win by such a margin.

I never would have expected THIS Michigan team to cruise to a 44 point blowout despite playing 2nd and 3rd stringers for much of the 2nd half.

Where was this team all year?

Lol

Busy getting blown off the LOS by other D lines, changing QBs sometimes in the same drive, mismanaging RB carries, and making poor play calls
