Another season’s has come and gone. We Gumps at least got to see it end in victory for the Alabama Crimson Tide, even if it lacked the gravity of some of the season-ending victories we’ve been spoiled by around here.
In some ways, the graphs from the Citrus Bowl read similarly to our viewing experience: the first three quarters were frustrating, but the final fame was much, much cozier. The Wolverines were able to run on us, but the Tide did some running of its own by the end of the game.
There are some surprises and humbling angles in here, though: this win didn’t have all of the hallmarks of our usual victories, and the Michigan Wolverines deserve some respect for the numbers they put up.
