Like the Dr. Pepper commercial , Michigan fans will be reliving this game over, and over all winter.
Fiesta Bowl (CFP semi): Michigan vs. TCU game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
And then he continued to slobber all over McCarthy for 3 hours.
I just watched it three times to be sure. You are correct! The lineman (76) lateraled the ball behind the line of scrimmage to Edwards who threw a forward underhand pass. Perfectly legal.
No thanks. I want Jimmy and the Michigan faithful to let this marinate for a full off-season.
Very happy to see UM lose and hopefully tonight marks the beginning of their decent. But I will give them two compliments. First, many, including me, have said they had good WRs but no great ones. I think both Wilson and Bell are great WRs. Had they played in a pass first offense I think they would have done big things. I am really glad they are both moving on (I think). Second, I must say McCarthy is a better downfield passer than I thought. He played a great game with the exception of three critical plays - two INTs that were very poor throws and the fumble at the goal line, which he never secured the handoff to the RB. UM will lose a lot from the OL and the two WRs mentioned above. But McCarthy and Edwards will be great players.
Were they? I thought they got away with numerous PI no calls in the first half.
Harbaugh now 1-6 in bowl games at Michigan.
Clearly, they underestimated TCU. TCU is very well coached and looked fast and physical. They are a good story. I’ll be rooting for them as they will continue to be big underdogs.

I was thinking that same thing and Michigan griping and Todd saying. I have a natty hold my beer!!
By the AA transfer C of all people.
In his defense, I thought the same thing. Kudos to that bunch of DL and LBs. They played beyond what I thought they were capable.
But but but….. they beat tOSU the last 2 years……
For a fan base and school that believes they’re the cream of the crop (for whatever reason) they sure have a little brother complex.
The real kick to the nads for them will be if Ohio St wins tonight and then beats TCU. That would certainly get their panties in a wad. Although, I don’t wish to see that either.
As I have said all season long, McCarthy is shaky as a passer which is why Michigan’s offense strategy relied so heavily on a power run game. Those 2 pick 6 interceptions for TDS were just brutal. I could not be more happier Michigan was exposed tonight. PSU needs to crush them next year in Happy Valley.
Agree. But you don’t say it publicly in his case. Keep your mouth shut and stay humble.
For me, the bottom line was everytime in the 2nd half when Michigan scored and looked to have all the momentum, TCU answered right back.

But you cannot advance a fumble on 4th down (unless the fumbling player recovers which didn’t happen). The only thing I’m unclear about that is if the play was technically dead once the lineman recovered the ball or is it considered live and just goes back to the spot of the recovery.
You are correct, sir! The officials should have blown the play dead as soon as #76 recovered it. Thank you for the correction.
FR-80 RULE 7 / SNAPPING AND PASSING THE BALL
Caught or Recovered
ARTICLE 2. a. When a backward pass or fumble is caught or recovered by any
inbounds player, the ball continues in play (A.R. 2-23-1-I).
Exceptions:
1. Rule 8-3-2-d-5 (Team A fumble on the try).
2. On fourth down before a change of team possession, when a Team
A fumble is caught or recovered by a Team A player other than the
fumbler, the ball is dead. If the catch or recovery is beyond the spot of
the fumble, the ball is returned to the spot of the fumble. If the catch
or recovery is behind the spot of the fumble, the ball remains at the
spot of the catch or recovery.
b. When a backward pass or fumble is caught or recovered simultaneously by
opposing players, the ball becomes dead and belongs to the team last in
possession (Exception: Rule 7-2-2-a Exceptions).

Not for me, fair....
Didn't watch the game, nor any other this season. Sad, the school's are totally corrupt.
Dynomite!
This was a bonecrushing defeat for these bums. There is enough people in Michigan who can subtract 14 from TCU's score to figure out the difference would have been lower than their score.
FYI when I retire, 10% of my retirement funds are going to roadside billboards reminding UM and OSU fans of fun facts like this. I hear many of them can read.
PS if there is interest in forming a formally funded, Road Side Reminder group whose mission it is to ruin the Monday morning drive to work in Ohio and Michigan, I am in.
Happy New Year!!! 86 points, 0-2 Ohio and Michigan. This morning is better than Cheryl Tiegs on the cover of Sports Illustrated
