Plus it was prime time on national TV vs Notre Dame. That will get some attention. But once they start playing teams that are actually competent, he'll fade like last year.

Yeah, I understand that. Michigan certainly wouldn't have won tonight without him.
But it's like all of a sudden everyone has forgotten how this exact same thing happened last season. How did that wind up? You have to figure at some point the "throw the ball as high as I can and hope" strategy is going to start to turn out poorly.

But it almost doesn't matter because he's so unbelievably dangerous running that you have to alter every aspect of your defensive game to guard against it every play. If Heisman means a guy who can dominate a game, then he should be considered. Half backs win the Heisman all the time; that's essentially what he is.
On the one hand, his throwing was terrible; ND's atrocious secondary mistakes gave him every one of his passing TDs except the last one (which was set up by a defensive breakdown).

Fixed that. May the Forcier be with you.

The single best thing about this game was the officials' throwback caps. They were awesome.

And why could they not find a black on for the head ref?

But yes, your point is well taken. Being fun gets you in the discussion, and he's fun (except right now).
I wasn't very entertained....

Well, it sure as hell wasn't the jerseys for either team.

Had you won, your Freshman QB would be near the top of the list. With that final drive? Ignore all of those bad passes and that horrific dropped ball to pass- that was a great drive by Notre Dame.

If the WWL and other remembered what happened from year to year, they'd stop ranking Notre Dame in the top 15. Next year's freshmen in South Bend will have never been alive for a nationally relevant Irish team.

It was a great drive and the kid had stones, but good God what was Michigan thinking on the Jones TD? That coverage looked like the 1962 Mets outfield.

IIRC, ND was #1 or #2 going into the (inevitable, annual) BC loss in 2002.
Having said which, it was ridiculous to rank ND in this year's preseason polls. They looked promising, which you can probably say about 40 teams every August.
Next year's freshman are going to be 9? No wonder we have problems on the O line.

By law, a Ty Willingham coached team cannot be considered national relevant. This year appears to be the much delayed karmic reaction to the first two months of that year, when ND had a +64 turnover edge or whatever it was.

I can't believe I'm saying this because Michigan is only not Satan because they aren't from Florida, but I loved the Wolverines' throwbacks. Infinitely superior to their Anne-Coulter-ugly normal unis.

San Jose State busts a long run and have tied UCLA with 4:30 in the 3rd Q. 17-17

That's what should happen when you lose to BC.

I wondered why the one ref was wearing what looked like a beret.
