Last night, Michigan won the Allstate Sugar Bowl over Virginia Tech, by a score of 23-20 in OT. Virginia Tech got the ball first in overtime, but missed a field goal, which was being kicked by a former (and by former, I mean all season long) third string kicker. When Michigan got the ball, they ran three very conservative run plays, and then made a field goal for the win.
While I'm very excited about Michigan winning a BCS Bowl again, it almost feels a little cheap. Sure, Va Tech had the same opportunity, but college football overtime has teams start at the 25 yard line--that's a 37 yard field goal, which is in range for any kicker in division 1. At least have teams start at the 50 or something. Oh well.
Sugar Bowl Champs! How Sweet it is!
