Well, It looked like the ground helped him retain possession. A similar play on the INT was over turned earlier in the game. At least they were consistent.
It could have gone either way. I really wasn't sure it was going to get over turned.

Yeah, but not in a bowl game! Too bad, so sad.

I agree, but to overturn the call I thought it had to be "undisputable" or "clear as day" which it was not.... whatever, it was a great game to watch.

Yup.
I honestly think had they made him a running back and kept Forcier around and groomed him it would have been a good combination of a pocket passer that had good accuracy with a little long haired Barry Sanders (no, he's not as good as Barry, but I don't know who else to compare him too as far as not being able to get grabbed on too)...

This comment cracks me up, unless UM was gonna just run jet sweeps and runs out of the spread option he would be a horriable RB. Reason he is so good is they will spread the field out and he can find gaps and holes and make teams pay with his speed. Just wouldnt work out as a RB. Maybe a slot reciever that would be used as a situational RB.
You seriously just discredited anything you've said about Michigan football up to this date with that comment. Keep Tate Forcier? Really? Jesus Christ.
And Denard wouldn't be that great of a RB. He needs open field for his style of running, which is created because he's the quarterback and he can take off when the play breaks down. Did you even watch the game last night? He kept trying to run between the tackles and got no where.

Its not like this is the first year certain teams made BCS games while other more deserving ones didnt. Its about $$$$ not about the best teams, you should know that by now. VT was an even bigger joke making the game, after getting annihilated by Clemson AGAIN and playing all year in the subpar ACC. Yes, this game should have been Arkansas vs Boise State, but they probably would have gotten 20k fans and half the TV audience. Until they go to a playoff system this is what you get.
And yes I meant kicker, must need more coffee.
I was that guy for a while.... until we started playing Big Ten teams with real defenses that could stop the run. You're absolutely right. He would be a good receiver in the slot or a quick screen. Anything that puts him in space.

I couldnt believe it, only Michigan I sware lol. And how about VT's fake punt....LOL did you guys see the punter try and kick the ball while getting tackled? Beemer ball was not in the house last night, in fact they lost cause of special teams play, not somthing VT does very often.

I loved it when he tried to punt it with his kicking leg's knee on the ground. Like WTF are you thinking? They are lucky that didnt get returned for a TD.

They beat Nebraska and Notre Dame. Now who did those schools beat this year?

If you are sitting at home at #16 or #17 hoping someone in front of you loses, that's backing in. Just like the Denver Broncos did last weekend. Hard to back into the Conference Championship game with the best record in the Conference at 7-1. And just in case YOU forgot, Isaiah Lewis roughed the punter. And it is what it is.
I at least like that you're conceeding the division championship (and as a byproduct, the MSU/UM game).
The Allstate CEO being from Michigan made a lot of sense in hindsite. It wasn't fan base, your record, or anything else other than cronyism to keep the Sugar Bowls sponsor happy. And the rest of the country had to suffer with the mess we saw last night.

When's the last time Michigan State went to a BCS bowl? Last time they won a BCS bowl? Oh, that's right. Never.

hard to get to a BCS bid when you get pimped by the BCS for losing an extra (championship) game.
