Michigan upsets Florida in the Capital One Bowl!

[flipn0tic]

WOW! All I have to say is Go Blue. Even though I bleed scarlet and gray, I found myself rooting for Michigan today. Gotta give props for the Big Ten reps, way to shut up the "SEC SPEEEED" fans. Before the game the media would play up all the passion and heart the Wolverines would have for their last game (much like they claimed they would vs OSU), and I shrugged it off, not thinking whether or not they'll lose, but by how many points they'd lose. However, from the start of the game, UM played some truly inspired football, and showed the nation what a healthy UM team plays like. I was thoroughly impressed how aggressive they played. Congrats Michigan and Lloyd Carr.

I still think Hart is an overrated scrub, though. :clap:

GO BLUE!

I guess the heisman jinx is still in full effect. The Vegas line on the game was 10.5 points, but Henne, Hart, Arrington, and Manningham all pulled out a classic UofM performance.

This is the way they should have played all season. If it wasn't for one injury after another, this is what we would have seen against App State, Oregon, Wisc and even OSU. But hey.... the past is the past and we can all enjoy the Big Ten showing up the 'speedy' SEC.

A big round of hail to the victors

Michigan did play well and I'm glad the Big Ten got a win today. Hart almost cost Michigan the game and once again he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Yeah seemed like after every single play he'd be in a Gator's face. Just STFU already, your career is over. I like how he laughed his way back to the bench after he fumbled the ball in the red zone. Then he goes and does it again later in the game. What a dope.

Arkansas, Illinois and probably Hawaii all had a bad games today.

agreed, he's gonna be a bum in the nfl

West Virgina looked "Speedy" last night. :hee:

The game should've been a blowout. I loved the aggressive play calling, and the fact that Arrington's 2 *amazing* catches made ESPN's top 10.

Oh, and Hart had not fumbled for 1000+ touches before the game, he plays with plenty of spirit and will be a good secondary running back in the NFL.

As Crable said, it's Tebow who's overrated.

As Crable said, it's Tebow who's overrated.That one catch Arrington had when he reached around the defensive back and caught the pass one handed was pretty dam impressive.

Mike Hart is injury prone so I'm doubt he will make it in the NFL. He will probably get knocked out if he runs his mouth in the NFL.

I don't think Tebow is overrated. Tebow is only 20 years old and he's the first player to win the Heisman Trophy as a Sophomore. He did have good stats this year.

1) You got that right!
2) He is injury prone, but his running ability will make it in the NFL, even if he is sidelined once in a while.
3) Michigan's defensive line isn't nearly as good as last year's but they pressured Tebow the whole game and slowed his running game. Not once did Florida run a three step drop slant that prevented him from getting hit.

I wouldn't say Tebow is overrated. Him and Dennis Dixon are the most valuable players in college football to their team. Without them, Florida and Oregon would be average teams. Oh wait, we saw what Oregon did without Dixon. Florida would have gone 7-5 6-6 at best without Tebow.

Ron English is a heck of a DC. His scheme for this game got the most out of that D. Nobody will mistaken UM's D for the old school Husker's Blackshirts or 01 'Canes talent or speed. However, what he did against Tebow in big time situations is a sign of a good coach. Louisville D's is going to be a lot better next year with Ron English as DC and Ted Roof, former national assistant of the year finalist as the DC at GaTech and Duke head coach, as LB coach.

That said, Tebow's numbers are still ungodly
