I was impressed by Washington's defense in the Alabama game, and the offensive line was able to give Browning some time to pass here and there. They played a respectable game given that it was Alabama.
In the Orange Bowl, Michigan had times of playing poorly and times of playing great. In the end, the great came up a point short.
It was a super-exciting game, though, right down to the last 30 seconds -- I will give it that.
I was really sad to see Jake Butt stay to play football this year (instead of going pro after last year), stay to play in the bowl game (instead of skipping it), when folks are saying he'd go in the 1st round of the draft, and end up with a torn ACL during the game. That really sucks.
I was sad to see Jabrill Peppers get injured in practice the freaking day before the game and be unable to play. Wow, did that seem to throw off Michigan's organization of its defense until they worked out adjustments during the game.
After this season, Michigan loses about 3/4 of its starters. I hope that they can pull off what Ohio State did this year with integrating new players.
Also, I'm hoping for Ohio State to win it all (although at moment looking bleak for them).
