Jack Sawyer with two huge plays ...

Very true

They don't.

That's what I was thinking of was your game where they wouldn't pass until late.

I figured they would figure out Mich has a top 3-4 DL in the country and a undermanned secondary and play accordingly.

But, that's Ryan Day.

He wanted to win this in a Harbaugh style TBH.

Run some tempo and throw to the future pro bowlers and then grind run with a 10-14 point lead.
Bad coaches are bad for bettors. Napier, Lanning, and above all Cignetti did what you’re supposed to do when you’re a big favorite in game 12 against a rival that’s beaten you several times in a row. Not Ryan Day.

Day reminds me of the last couple years of Calipari at Kentucky, putting his own ego above winning. Calipari detested what he called the "Basketball Bennies", or fans that had opinions on personnel or strategy. It was borne out last year when Calipari was bringing Dillingham and Sheppard off the bench, despite the fact that they were both projected lottery picks. Analytics suggested that those 2 were 2/5 of the (by far) most effective 5 man lineup. It was brought up to Calipari countless times, but he refused to use that lineup more than about 10% of the time, and there were 5 other personnel combos that he used significantly more often. He was more than fine avoiding that lineup even though using it clearly gave him the best chance to win. He was more willing to lose his way than win using what he determined to be someone else's approach.

Day trying to shove it down Michigan's throat so he can prove his manhood is a very similar situation to Cal IMO.
