As a lifelong diehard BAMA fan I wanna congratulate the Michigan wolverines, especially on a outstanding defensive performance, good luck vs Washington yall
As a lifelong Michigan fan, Bama is the "gold standard" for college football. It was an incredible game. The Tide is scary as hell to face off against. It couldn't be more special to have faced the best, to try and become the best. Appreciated your words~
Thank you sir your decorum is much appreciated. Wanna know something? Ever since Jim Harbaugh was hired, I day dreamed about beating Alabama in the playoffs. God Bless and Go Blue
@jonathanwyman3869 looks like your dream came true, good luck to your wolverines vs Washington, I think my Crimson Tide will be right back in the hunt next season
Thanks, few teams would have given us the chance to say that we earned it besides you and Georgia. But nobody can deny it. Congrats on a great season. See you again next year. 🤞🏻
Watch that GW run by Blake, not only were the blocks on point, but the way Blake sets that LB up and makes him commit to the wrong hole, then jump cuts like Barry Sanders to the correct running lane is next level stuff.
Glad you gave credit to Josiah Stewart for making that last play. Dude took a 360lb OT and bench pressed him into Milroe. Stewart is what 250 at best? Give strength coach Ben Herbert a raise immediately. GO BLUE!
The important 5 or so tackles made by our DBs in this game were impressive as hell. Wood was laid over and over, heads were thumped with tight technique couldn't have been more proud of those dudes.
Ricky, that was the defining play of the night to me. It was like Stewart was a bulldozer that got a thankful of nitromethane top fuel gas. Poor bama boy never went backwards so fast in his life😅 made Milroe trip trying to hit the hole and it was ballgame. It was a moment I will always remember. 💛💙 HAIL!!
Ben is the best strength and conditioning coach in college football. Michigan Michigan should’ve won that game by two touchdowns or more if it were not for their horrific special teams I truly believe Michigan wins over Washington by 10 points go blue.
@@DougalsBrooks - and we typically are critical of position coaches whose position entirely craps the bed in big games (ST) - well unless that "coach"'s only qualifications for being there is he shares daddy's home and last name (Jay Harbaugh), the it's "STFU, it was all those players' fault" and all kinds of explanations are thrown out.
It still makes me cry when I hear you describe what it was like in those final moments. I am a truck driver and a faithful Michigan Wolverines fan since 1977 and the last 3 years have been a dream ✨️. I am so proud of our guys!! Let's go blue bring that natty to Ann Arbor!!!
Wow, one of my buckeye friends texted me and said " First I was cheering go Hawks, then I was saying Roll Tide. Now it seems I am a Husky Fan" but I know how you feel last year I was rooting for OSU to beat Georgia that how much I hate the SEC.
1000% right! The Rose Bowl is such a majestic place! I was sitting on the Michigan end zone closest to where Morris scored! Experience of a LIFETIME! From the B2 Flyover, the perfectly cut grass, the sun setting behind the San Gabriel Mountains, the Vibrant colors everywhere, to the drones post game, just such a beautiful place to play such a big game! No better stage in College Football, hands down! What a great day! It sure is great-to be- a Michigan Wolverine! GO BLUE! #OneMore
An icon of OLD California. From when CA was a state to be proud of - conservative but with more liberal tendencies. Kind of sad, as a CA resident since the 80s we're leaving soon. At least we always have The Rose Bowl.
Man I want them to win it so bad . I hope they aren’t big headed and think this will be an easy game . Washington scared me more than any of the other teams . I was terrified to think we had to play Washington in the first round. The Alabama game was so emotional finally winning a playoff game . I hope there’s not a letdown because they’re so close to making history and going down as one of the greatest teams of all time 15-0
I had shared your doubts with respect to the Bama game. I'd be alot more concerned if we were playing oregon instead of Washington. Nonetheless I honestly don't think there will be a let down, we ve come to far to just blow this chance
Any time you step on the field with Alabama you will be changing your pants at halftime, that’s why They rigged up the game cuz THEY thought that UM was going to fold up. It was just going to be a lesson for the sign stealing scam but then UM pulled it out with a classic historic game, against the GOAT of coaches.
@@youdontknow7190 Still anything can happen and Washington hardly celebrated after beating texas . Michigan celebrated like it was the national championship
Steve, part of what I look forward to most, is YOUR INTRO with Bo! I miss that here. BTW, you need to fix the audio on the Desmond Howard part. We can't hear Keith Jackson at all. "Helloooo Heisman!"
I've watched this game every night before bed since Monday. Absolute classic. Getting thru that third quarter is rough everytime, but my goodness does that final drive make up for it.
Hey Steve..did your hear the old Bo George Patton Schembechler Scoring Horn coming from football's Valhalla after the game? I thought for sure you'd heard it.
Speaking of Blake only making the big runs in the biggest games. Well he spent most of the season, without using the jump cut. Probably some fear after the knee injury. Combined with the fact that it wasn't needed through most of the schedule. So I think Blake wanted to make sure that knee stayed healthy, so he would be there for the big games. When it's much more worth the risk!!
Two transfers were huge on the last 2 plays. Josh Wallace stopped the WR well short of the goal line, then Josiah Stewert push a tackle who outeighed him by 115 lbs back into Milroe.
That is true. Michigan just doesn’t seem to get a lot of 5-recruits compared to other programs. But it’s clear that they are incredible in developing players.
So happy for you Steve... I went in '83 ...loss to UCLA. I totally agree with your prognostication, this team is built to defeat a pass happy OSU. 7-9 minute drives on offense, play keep away from Penix, bend but don't break between the 20s. Tighten up in the red zone= ][V][ichigan wins.
People often lament- “why do they keep running up the middle?” And now you know- that on fourth and three at the Rose Bowl with a game on the line on your own 31 yard line when the entire world thinks you’re gonna run the football you can throw a pass to the flat to a wide-open Blake Corum, and gain bunches of yards. #Glorious
As an OSU fan I just wanted to say that your program has really turned around and become one of the top level programs in the country. Kudos to Michigan for finally doing it. I have to admit that ya know. Nah I'm just kidding I fucking hate you guys. Go Buckeyes and stop cheating.
Appreciate the recap and sharing the experience.....but how the hell do you even consider leaving that game even a minute early!?! Team goes down and you're ready to pack up!? Lol cmon!
I feel ya Steve, I was saying, here we go again.... But this time, every time we needed a score, they got it!! 6 sacks, 10 TFL.... Im so proud of them!!!!
I'm in awe of guys like Steve who have that ability to just talk unscripted and sound intelligent and be entertaining while accurately covering a topic. Few and far between.
That's what I said when watching the game Monday. Given the sights, sounds and the Rose Bowl's place in college football history...the championship should be played there every year. To not do so is like having the Masters at some course other than Augusta. Do it NCAA.
@@joe-ho4zfall of college football may have to start 2 weeks earlier. Beginning of August. Because The Rose Bowl is supposed to always be New Year's day. Or immediately after championship week is round 1. But that's not how they have it set up. CFP champ game next year end of January. Doesn't make any sense.
Have to run JJ more and defense has to play their best game all year. Washington’s offense is by far the best one we will face all year. And for goodness sake, can we find someone out of 120 guys who can definitely catch punts no matter what and knows what to do if the punt is coming inside the 10 yard line?
"Earl Campbelled his way into the endzone". Excellent. I'm guessing most of the under 45's won't even get it. To them I say, do yourself a favor and look that Texas sized running back up and watch some of his highlights. Also, THANK YOU for complimenting and pointing out Carson Barnhardt. He has been so maligned this year by most fans. For him to come back into his normal position and play lights out, and really the whole O line settling down and getting the job done all day, was just a satisfying sight to behold.
Think you might not know what malign means. Carson was never maligned by anyone - he was criticized for his inabilities at the time to help the line. Huge difference from spiteful attacks which..... no, sorry didn't happen. Glad he had a great time tho, we needed him
I love the reference to Carl Lewis singing! What a phenomenal game to continue a legendary season. Our secondary is far better than Texas. U-W will score some points but our defense will get stops and our offense will score plenty of points as well. I have a gut feeling that after the last two CFP disappointments the Wolverines will do whatever it takes to finish the job.
We still have a “ SUGAR HANGOVER “ from that win !! Throat still sore from screaming thru the entire game!! FINALLY!!! Success And Monday will be SHANGRILA!!!!
Thanks for this. I was a student at UM from 92-96 and was devastated that Moeller resigned. Carr won that natty with Gary's defensive machine (and Chuck Woodson). I often talk about the "what if Moeller had not drank so much that night......what would have happened to that dynasty he built"? I think UM would have had multiple Nat Champs by the time he retired.
has anyone even considered that MI could very well get ran out of the building by this UW offense..........they have not faced a QB this year that is any where near this elite.........WHO........Kyle McCord........Drew Aller ?........the only QB they faced with any kind of elite capacity is Maryland's QB
I had turned off the TV and was putting on my walking shoes. Been traumatized too many times. But, for some reason, I sat back down on the couch and turned the TV back on. Then, a miracle happened. For the first time since Tom Brady, Michigan came through in the clutch and overcame the odds. They tried to shoot themselves in the head, but somehow missed.
One point of clarification Steve......Thaw took that BRUTAL hit after muffing the punt because JAY HARBAUGH ONLY HAD TEN PLAYERS ON THE FIELD AT THE Snap.!! The guy who was supposed to slow him down wasn't running on to the field until Bama was halfway to Thaw. Not one mention anywhere of the COACHING debacle by Jay Harbaugh that was responsible for giving us that nailbiter.
The Rose Bowl pregame is def done right - the BAND plays the National Anthem, not some ditzy pop goofball (who TF is that?) ....... see the Nat Championships game for example........and it feels epic, not stupid.
Steve, I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and I know you're a life-long Michigan fan. The fact that you were there to see Michigan win their first playoff game in the Rose Bowl is gratifying. Keep the faith. One more!
Late here, but congrats, Steve! I remember the good ole days of you complaining about/making fun of Michigan, especially against Ohio St. I used to watch your Michigan podcasts purely for the comedic value. No laughs any more, though! Michigan is here and real! Hope yall beat Washington! Go Blue! Go Dawgs! (Yep, Georgia fan).
Michigan will win this game……..why? Because the gods hate Buckeyes fans right now. We need to figure out how we pissed them off or I need to switch to following NCAA volleyball!
So great to get this win but getting it over Dick Saban made it even more special! I thought Dick could have been more congratulatory towards UM as well, instead of just saying "we beat ourselves", very disappointing from someone who's been there before.....
Glad you were able to make it to the game Steve, sounds like it was once-in-a-lifetime moment for you and those give flavor to our lives. And good job by your son. Leaving a game early to beat the traffic is an absolute dude-code violation, with a double-fine if it's a playoff game. Anyway, it was a great win. The Wolverines had to get past the SEC teams in much the same way the Wings had to get past Colorado and the Pistons had to get past the Celtics. Go get em Monday night! A National title we aren't forced to share with some half-assed program would be great. Maybe the Lions can win the Super Bowl. But then again, God might say, okay boy, you've seen it all now, time to come home if that happens. Go Blue!
I'm still feverishly looking for that Stallions fella! I'm sure that he's somewhere on Bamas bench(in Bama gear), stealing and communicating signs to his vulvarine teammates!! 🤷
I made the trip to The Rose in '98 for the Natty win vs Wazzu. Our seats were the WORST - the highest row right next to the jumbotron in the east endzone ......but it was still epic. We had a blast. No meltdown in that one Steve. Wish I could have been to this one like Steve enjoyed it.
I too was there in '98, one row lower than the highest row under the Jumbotron. But had a very good view of Woodson intercepted Leaf's pass in the end zone in the second quarter when Washington was already up 7-0. To me key play of the game, had Washington scored, and be up 14-0, it may be too big of a deficet for Michigan to catch up. A very memorable experience at the Rose Bowl.
I’ve been lucky to see Michigan beat usc and my wife’s team msu beat usc the year before. Glad you had a great time Steve. The Rose bowl should be where the championship is played every year. Just my opinion.
The young men on this team has been most impressive to me. The winning, of course, is beyond satisfying, but the calibre of these men and their faith in God and each other and their integrity --it's a beautiful thing.
Not a Michigan fan but glad you could experience the Rose Bowl as a Wolverines fan in that classic of a game. Been watching your content for sometime and you deserve it
Steve would love to know your thoughts about why Bo struggled so much in the rose bowl. I find it hard to square how the guy who came out on top in the 10 year war went 2-8 in the rose bowl.
Im a steve deace guy but also an sec guy. I was disappointed at the result but man it is hard not to be happy for steve. That joy in his eyes and voice make me want to give him a fist bump. Well deserved and congrats on the big win, Steve 👊
There goes Steve again UM losing the game 🥹 💀. He’s already died before kickoff, Mark must be snickering in his Dumpster Ohio outfit. He looks like he stepped out of a time warp.🤔
Michigan fan here that lives in wa state ..close to Pullman so we def need to beat them huskies..so I can go to the game next year in Seattle with bragging rights haha..what a win thou ..cheers Steve and happy new year
Thaw has been a turd of a returner all year and we were so lucky he was able to cover that ball . He’s been the biggest disappointment on special teams for us in a long time and I don’t know why they switch him out earlier in the year but every time he’s back 😢here I know either it’s a fair catch or min gain .
I’m not sure if you’re going to Houston or not, but I’d bet that watching Michigan win a national title might beat this win, depending on how it goes down. For my heart’s sake, I’m hoping for no drama and an easy win, but I doubt that’ll happen.
I am gonna take it all in for sure. But the one thing that has me nervous is the NCAA and the CFP taking this season away from us. I hate to sound like a negative nancy but that thought is constantly in the back of my mind. Like Steve said we may not ever in our life time have another special season like this again. And it would absolutely destroy me as a Michigan fan to have something we waited 27 long years for get taken away because the NCAA doesn't like our coach. I just wish the NCAA didn't move like a darn turtle when it comes to their investigations. We shouldn't have to wait until 2026 to know whether or not they are gonna hit this team hard or if we have nothing to worry about. But other than this nagging thought in the back of my mind I can't wait for Monday and hopefully come Tuesday we are celebrating our first national championship since 1997!
Josh Pate made a very good observation in terms of that Auburn team that had issues obviously not the same but they still have a championship banner. We will still have ours.
Don't sweat it. The CFP is separate from the NCAA. Michigan will not have the season and championships taken away from them. The whole world has watched this team win every game they played.

As a lifelong diehard BAMA fan I wanna congratulate the Michigan wolverines, especially on a outstanding defensive performance, good luck vs Washington yall
You're class personified. BAMA didn't make it easy and there's a reason a lot of teams are intimidated just by the BAMA jerseys and helmets.
As a lifelong Michigan fan, Bama is the "gold standard" for college football. It was an incredible game. The Tide is scary as hell to face off against. It couldn't be more special to have faced the best, to try and become the best. Appreciated your words~

Watch that GW run by Blake, not only were the blocks on point, but the way Blake sets that LB up and makes him commit to the wrong hole, then jump cuts like Barry Sanders to the correct running lane is next level stuff.
Seriously, we are so lucky to be able to watch a team full of future NFL players.
You are a Class Act my friend. Thank you, good luck to you guys next year
Yep!! Blake WANTED that TD!!.
For real. His vision on a lot of those runs was NFL stuff. He's far more elusive than I ever gave him credit for
It's the best blake has looked since before he hurt his knee. His cutting and acceleration are back
Glad you gave credit to Josiah Stewart for making that last play.
Dude took a 360lb OT and bench pressed him into Milroe. Stewart is what 250 at best?
Give strength coach Ben Herbert a raise immediately. GO BLUE!
The important 5 or so tackles made by our DBs in this game were impressive as hell. Wood was laid over and over, heads were thumped with tight technique couldn't have been more proud of those dudes.
Ricky, that was the defining play of the night to me. It was like Stewart was a bulldozer that got a thankful of nitromethane top fuel gas.

I am also a truck driver,I was in Birmingham Alabama on the 22nd of Dec. We died have a chance,can't wait until I go back there😅,truly a great game
we need a Tyrone Wheatley game for Blake the Great!! I do believe we are built to beat a team like this!!
∆∆∆∆∆ This right here ∆∆∆∆∆
I'm thinking this is what we are going to see on Monday - Wheatleybiakabtukathomashart-esque performance.
I'll settle for a "Blake Game" that he had last time we faced Warshington
It was awesome seeing Karsen get that block after pulling down the line. Blake was determined to get in the endzone.
Ohio State fan here. Good for you Steve, I’m glad you’re happy and Michoacán back. I’ll be grudgingly rooting for y’all Monday.
Thanks reasonable buckeye
Wow, one of my buckeye friends texted me and said " First I was cheering go Hawks, then I was saying Roll Tide. Now it seems I am a Husky Fan" but I know how you feel last year I was rooting for OSU to beat Georgia that how much I hate the SEC.
As much as I hate the Buckeyes, I've always rooted for y'all in bowl games because when Big10 teams win it makes all of us look better.
I feel the same.
We're very close on our predictions, Steve....
MICHIGAN 35
WASHINGTON 24
Our defense will make the difference.
University of Michigan and the Detroit Lions are so similar this year, I am so excited for Michigan sports in 2024.
1000% right! The Rose Bowl is such a majestic place! I was sitting on the Michigan end zone closest to where Morris scored! Experience of a LIFETIME!

They're going to have to play lights out against Washington. Their offense is ridiculously good, similar to Osu with Stroud.
Their defense is also horrible. Michigan can win a shootout with them.
Sure they can. They can also lose in a shootout like they did against TCU if they play as sloppy as they did against Bama.
Two transfers were huge on the last 2 plays. Josh Wallace stopped the WR well short of the goal line, then Josiah Stewert push a tackle who outeighed him by 115 lbs back into Milroe.
How tf are you going to leave the Rose Bowl early to “beat traffic” 😂
I thought that as well 😀. It’s like not watching the game in 21… 😂
Beat the traffic?? C'mon Steve. 🤣
I said the same thing........wow
@@Spork123able he's a nervous nellie....he went to the movies for OSU '21....missed the game entirely
Whoop WASH The Mission is not complete....GO BLUE!!!!
That is true. Michigan just doesn’t seem to get a lot of 5-recruits compared to other programs. But it’s clear that they are incredible in developing players.
So happy for you Steve...
I went in '83 ...loss to UCLA. I totally agree with your prognostication, this team is built to defeat a pass happy OSU.

I remember the good ole days of you complaining about/making fun of Michigan, especially against Ohio St. I used to watch your Michigan podcasts purely for the comedic value. No laughs any more, though! Michigan is here and real! Hope yall beat Washington! Go Blue! Go Dawgs! (Yep, Georgia fan).
Thanks for beating Alabama. And Go Blue. From a BlazeTV subscriber and regular Steve Deace Show viewer.
Anyone can get paid to disseminate falsehoods, false narratives and false equivalencies!
Even "young buck" could do that!!!
🤷🤔🤔🤷
Michigan will win this game……..why? Because the gods hate Buckeyes fans right now. We need to figure out how we pissed them off or I need to switch to following NCAA volleyball!
So great to get this win but getting it over Dick Saban made it even more special! I thought Dick could have been more congratulatory towards UM as well, instead of just saying "we beat ourselves", very disappointing from someone who's been there before.....
Glad you were able to make it to the game Steve, sounds like it was once-in-a-lifetime moment for you and those give flavor to our lives. And good job by your son. Leaving a game early to beat the traffic is an absolute dude-code violation, with a double-fine if it's a playoff game.
Anyway, it was a great win. The Wolverines had to get past the SEC teams in much the same way the Wings had to get past Colorado and the Pistons had to get past the Celtics. Go get em Monday night! A National title we aren't forced to share with some half-assed program would be great. Maybe the Lions can win the Super Bowl. But then again, God might say, okay boy, you've seen it all now, time to come home if that happens. Go Blue!
Great video! Go Blue!
I'm still feverishly looking for that Stallions fella! I'm sure that he's somewhere on Bamas bench(in Bama gear), stealing and communicating signs to his vulvarine teammates!!
🤷
I made the trip to The Rose in '98 for the Natty win vs Wazzu. Our seats were the WORST - the highest row right next to the jumbotron in the east endzone ......but it was still epic. We had a blast. No meltdown in that one Steve. Wish I could have been to this one like Steve enjoyed it.
I too was there in '98, one row lower than the highest row under the Jumbotron. But had a very good view of Woodson intercepted Leaf's pass in the end zone in the second quarter when Washington was already up 7-0. To me key play of the game, had Washington scored, and be up 14-0, it may be too big of a deficet for Michigan to catch up. A very memorable experience at the Rose Bowl.
I’ve been lucky to see Michigan beat usc and my wife’s team msu beat usc the year before. Glad you had a great time Steve. The Rose bowl should be where the championship is played every year. Just my opinion.
I watched the game alone and I’m glad, cause a guy my age shouldn’t cry like a baby in front of other people.
Thanks Steve!
The young men on this team has been most impressive to me. The winning, of course, is beyond satisfying, but the calibre of these men and their faith in God and each other and their integrity --it's a beautiful thing.
Very proud of this team and coaches. Great integrity and team work!!!
Steve, ya missed the block by Loveland who literally took out 2 dudes on the epic Corum TD run.
Aren't you glad Noah made you stay?
Not a Michigan fan but glad you could experience the Rose Bowl as a Wolverines fan in that classic of a game. Been watching your content for sometime and you deserve it
Well done, Steve, and thank you.
〽️🏈💯💪🌹
This game is two teams of destiny colliding. All that means to me is we’re probably set up for an all-timer title game.
Steve would love to know your thoughts about why Bo struggled so much in the rose bowl. I find it hard to square how the guy who came out on top in the 10 year war went 2-8 in the rose bowl.
Im a steve deace guy but also an sec guy. I was disappointed at the result but man it is hard not to be happy for steve. That joy in his eyes and voice make me want to give him a fist bump. Well deserved and congrats on the big win, Steve 👊
There goes Steve again UM losing the game 🥹 💀. He’s already died before kickoff, Mark must be snickering in his Dumpster Ohio outfit. He looks like he stepped out of a time warp.🤔
Michigan fan here that lives in wa state ..close to Pullman so we def need to beat them huskies..so I can go to the game next year in Seattle with bragging rights haha..what a win thou ..cheers Steve and happy new year
Thaw has been a turd of a returner all year and we were so lucky he was able to cover that ball . He’s been the biggest disappointment on special teams for us in a long time and I don’t know why they switch him out earlier in the year but every time he’s back 😢here I know either it’s a fair catch or min gain .
Alabama in the Rose Bowl makes zero sense. Was glad you guys won that one. Got the Huskies in the next one though.
Why would AJ Henning leave a N C caliber team? We missed him on punt receiving and in the slot.
This is full circle from the video prior to the OSU game in 2021
Ohio State fan first and BIG10 fan second. In a way, this is an all BIG10 NC but I cheered for Michigan and will be again Monday.
Michigan won in 97 at the end of the AP poll era. This is the end of the CFP x 4 era.
I’m not sure if you’re going to Houston or not, but I’d bet that watching Michigan win a national title might beat this win, depending on how it goes down. For my heart’s sake, I’m hoping for no drama and an easy win, but I doubt that’ll happen.
All the weights lifted, laps ran, down ups, blood, sweat and tears are all for this.....lay it all on the line.
Midway through the game when Michigan missed the fg he gave up on them 😂
They have to win the game first. You forgot to add a question mark.
I am gonna take it all in for sure. But the one thing that has me nervous is the NCAA and the CFP taking this season away from us. I hate to sound like a negative nancy but that thought is constantly in the back of my mind. Like Steve said we may not ever in our life time have another special season like this again. And it would absolutely destroy me as a Michigan fan to have something we waited 27 long years for get taken away because the NCAA doesn't like our coach. I just wish the NCAA didn't move like a darn turtle when it comes to their investigations. We shouldn't have to wait until 2026 to know whether or not they are gonna hit this team hard or if we have nothing to worry about. But other than this nagging thought in the back of my mind I can't wait for Monday and hopefully come Tuesday we are celebrating our first national championship since 1997!
Josh Pate made a very good observation in terms of that Auburn team that had issues obviously not the same but they still have a championship banner. We will still have ours.
Don't sweat it. The CFP is separate from the NCAA. Michigan will not have the season and championships taken away from them. The whole world has watched this team win every game they played.
And the first UNDISPUTED national title since 1948!
Wife and I were sitting at the Michigan end zone. Amazing.
Thank you for your thoughts, honesty, and sharing! I also hope that thet win, if not. Then it is not a failure!! The ride, the ride has been so good.
Until we win a Natty, I'm not even watching. Going to the movies instead.
Facts, hes wild
Go blue we’re going to be champions
Eliminate the mistakes, and there’s no team better.
Washington hasn't faced a top 12 defense all season. That passing game may not be as potent as people think. Utah was best defense they saw at #13
Ya and we have the best defense
Which One play from the Michigan Alabama game belongs in the introduction video for Michigan podcast?? I vote for the overtime Blake touchdown run.
Good work! Stay God glorifying.
Buckeye tears are yummy
Insane that you almost left the game early lmao
Michigan 35
Washington 30
Touchdowns rule the day. Whichever team kicks more field goals loses. Michigan will win with defense in the red-zone.
