I will add this as a Michigan fan. That game never should have come down to the last second and a questionable call by the official. Had Michigan taken care of business this game is over before that call becomes important. You can't be a great team letting a 10 point lead slip away with under 5:00 to go, no matter how good the opponent is.

I agree his positioning was bad and not totally unusual in that situation. I just think he guessed and got it wrong.
That being said a win is a win. You win ugly sometimes especially the better teams. Long way to go before we can call any of these teams great.
