NOTE: The tracks on my copy got misaligned so I had to rebuild this episode. If you downloaded it before 11AM on Friday you should go back and download it again. If you can't tell what version you have, the latest version has a lens flare in the upper-left of the cover.

No Brian today.

Things Discussed:

• A Michigan Family reunion. If you've never been to a Rose Bowl, make sure you do the next one.
• Michigan won on the lines. Trente Jones was excellent. Karsen Barnhart made the block of the game. When they had to go for 4th & 1 they moved them; when it was 4th & 2 for the game Alabama had to sell out.
• Michigan used a ton of motion to create lots of openings.
• Coaching: Alabama coaches were good; Michigan coaches were that much better. Two wide open throws to Corum. Saban ran into a buzzsaw.
• Special Teams: Yips.
• Talking about the last play: Did Sainristil get too high? Maybe. But Moore had it dead to rights even if they run it right.
• Trente Jones: How important was it to the team that he came back. That he approached things like he did.
• Harbaugh? Gonna have a fight on their hands. Gotta fight to keep this culture.
• Washington preview.

Saban's problem is he was coaching players who weren't as good as the players across from them.
