    Congrats to Michigan, seems like they have their program back to where it needs to be.

    I was pulling for UM, but I think VT got robbed. That TD was good.

    I think that it would be like a running back or illegal motion penalty rather than a false start.

    Except they didn't even do that. I'm pretty sure Boise State sold more tickets for the Las Vegas bowl than Tech did for this one.

    If a running back does that same thing before the ball is snapped, it's a false start.

    To be honest, if nothing else, the officials were consistent all night with the ball moving on the ground.

    I agree that was def a penalty on the kicker.

    The "catch" however by the VA tech player was pretty obvious the ground helped

    If he wouldn't have bobbled, it's a catch. I honestly don't think he had control when he hit the white.

    A player watching him jumps offsides for the block, is it a penalty on the defender? If so, I'd do it all the time.

    Smallest crowd for a Sugar Bowl in 11 years.

    Of course, Frank Beamer did his best to help the Wolverines' cause tonight. He outcoached himself right out of a victory.

    How did it help? I did not see the ball move.

    If by this you mean the defensive player jumping in the neutral zone causing the offensive lineman to jump, yes that is a penalty on the D. It was called yesterday in the OSU game(maybe a different game?).

    The most Michigan win ever. Gift wrapped, had INT overturned, TD overturned, Denard throws every ball up for grabs and somehow two of them go for TDs?

    You've never heard of Clemson losing a game in the most Clemson way possible?

    I'm shocked that they couldn't have more fans. Hell, even last year we had more, but most of them were Razorback fans who drove their pickup trucks on the day of the game. I'm guessing that the Maize and Blue had a lot more people there than Va. Tech did.

    Some were saying 80-20 Michigan to VT fans.
