MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Michigan outscored Georgia in the second half of the Orange Bowl, College Football Playoff Semifinal, a fact lost on many but surely not Coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh actually said "it wasn't our best but certainly was theirs". What a lowlife. He was outcoached, outplayed, outhustled and outclassed in every phase of the game. Clemson is a far better team than Michigan. Our Dawgs were the better team on the field last night. Harbaugh needs to go back to the NFL, where his arrogant attitude fits in better
It wasn't the touchdown. I have no issue with that because that is what they are supposed to do and our defense's job is always to stop them the entire game. It was the unnecessary 2 point conversion that meant nothing other than "look what we can do to your third string" that bugged me. I felt that that move deserved another score on our part. I knew we wouldn't but thought we should.
And I hate second half coasting. If we want to coast midway through the fourth, fine,but anything can happen in 8 minutes, including 3 quick scores. Do not forget, we scored like that a few times this year (think 3 scores in just over 2 minutes against florida just before halftime). Let's also not forget our loss in the championship to Alabama after being way up. You are playing for a National Championship. You give 100% the entire game. You are not there to make friends.
And I know I'll get folks reading into this incorrectly but, if we are going to coast and insert second and third string, why do we substitute everyone exept our quarterback? If Bennett is going to be the guy and he showed he was deserving, then why is he in during garbage time when every other player on the field is a backup? We saw Matt Corral get hurt last night during the "meat" of a game. It can happen so why is your starter in when you aren't trying to score?
If I recall, that's what us Georgia fans said about the SEC Championship game. Alabama had their first complete game of the year and we were off. Alabama had something to do with that, just like Georgia had something to do with Michigan's performance. And folks saying we shouldn't have take the foot of the gas in the 4th quarter, come on. We didn't need to risk injury to our starters. As for leaving Stetson in, I don't know the reason.
I wouldn’t call getting beat 34-11 as a start. It’s a beat down.
