Man did the stars align just right for this game...I really don't think Appalachian state is that good or Michigan that bad, things just happened perfectly to allow the game to end up the way it did.
Heck, all the bonehead stuff Appalachian state did - so many false-starts when they were 1st and goal to go putting them beyond the 10, dropping perfect passes, heck even their game-winning field goal on 1st and goal on the 5 with 30 seconds left and they were on the far left hashmark to boot (making it a harder kick), run the ball to the right for f***s sake, is their coach really that retarded? Sure no time outs, but it would then be 2nd and goal (if not a touchdown or a far more unlikely fumble), closer and and in better position, you then spike the ball to stop the clock after you get the clock down from :30 seconds to something closer to 10 seconds. Then it would still be only 3rd down with enough time to recover from a bad snap. Then kick the field goal and there wouldn't be any time left or certainly not enough for Michigan to move into field goal range to steal the win away (which they actually did, Appalachian state got lucky with a field goal block to preserve the win (to make things worse, this was actually their second blocked FG - how often does that happen? you certainly can't count on it even just once)...which they did deserve the win...my point is to express that they really weren't that good, they were just overachievers while Michigan was underachieving)
Man what a game, amazing way to start the season for college football, that's for sure.
