neither of these teams belonged in this bowl game. The third best team in the Big 10 against a school that lost their conference championship game by 28 points and they're both rewarded with a BCS bowl..what's that about?

I don't know what Beamer was thinking. 4th and short near midfield in a tie game, he calls timeout and then tries a fake punt. Did it ever cross his mind the Michigan coaches aren't idiots, for sure they emphasized to their players during that TO to watch out for the fake..and sure enough it looked like they were waiting for it..
