Michigan throwing six picks?

Riddick's run vs. BYU?

Two #2s not being noticed by the refs?

The D was excellent. That doesn't mean we weren't lucky at times.

There's nothing wrong with that, all good teams need a little luck (see: 1988 vs. Michigan). But let's not pretend we were some dominating team that somehow had a bad game on 1/7. Let's continue the progress.
