Michigan was clearly the better team, but their gameplan and execution was sh*t.
they were gashing Bama in the first half with Corum, and yet there were series where he never touched the ball.
And as to execution - look at the snaps, that insane throw on the first play which should have been a pick, etc.
the defensive gameplan and execution was great (Bama's OL woes really showed up v. the Michigan blitz), but their offensive and special teams execution and gameplan almost cost them the game.
Hats off to Saban for getting an underwhelming Bama squad into the playoff tho. That was one of his best coaching jobs ever, IMHO.
