MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – In a fitting parallel to its regular season, Michigan’s Orange Bowl effort came up just short.
The team that was four points from an undefeated regular season finished one point short in Friday’s Orange Bowl, losing 33-32 to Florida State at Hard Rock Stadium.
Michigan (10-3) made it interesting with two fourth quarter offensive touchdowns, but when it needed a stop in the final minute, the No. 2 defense in the country couldn’t get it.
Florida State (10-3) completed a touchdown pass with 36 seconds left, over U-M’s All-America cornerback Jourdan Lewis, to take the 33-30 lead.
