Hindsight is 20/20, but this move may have cost us more than people realize.
I’ve never really understood deferring when you have a better offense than defense.
Instead, michigan takes the opening drive and scores and our first drive starts in disaster. Not to mention the opening sequence of the second half that probably lost the game. With young players, you can seldom escape from digging holes like this.
Say what you want about stopping the run, but football is a game of momentum, and we never had any.
Should have taken the ball to start the game.
