As a Bama fan I appreciate playing in the Rose Bowl as much as the Sugar and playing Mich made it a classic. This was the best Rose Bowl ever and all respect to Mich. Mich and Bama don't play much but look at the times they have played and what games those were. The 88 HOF bowl, the 97 Citrus, the 2000 Orange and this. This wasn't just the greatest Rose Bowl but maybe the best bowl game ever. Congrats to Mich.

[@ronalddelrosario7405]

Crazy game. I forgot how many miscues *both* teams had. Meeeechigan had the most obvious ones, but Alabama may have had the most crucial ones. That being said, Meeeechigan just plain outplayed Alabama. There's a reason they won the natty: they had the best O and D lines in the nation. They built their team like the Alabama and Georgia teams of the recent past, except without the top end talent. They just had a lot of really, really good players that played as a team, were relentless, and refused to be out-physicaled. Very much an old skool Bo and Woody team...
