I'm embarrassed to think I actually believed Michigan had a legitimate chance to win this game. What a rout. It has been every bit as embarrassing so far, or worse, than Michigan's State's humiliating bowl loss to Alabama a couple years ago.
 - Bigger, stronger, faster - that is the story of this game slanted toward Alabama. Not only is the Alabama line, on both sides of the ball, throwing around the Wolverines like rag dolls, it's amazing how the physicality of the Crimson Tide secondary is hindering Michigan's receivers. From that standpoint, it's understood why Al Borges keeps going to converted QB Devin Gardner during his first game at wide receiver. Gardner is big and strong and willing, although not polished at this stage.
- Alabama would still be winning this game by a wide margin even if Fitzgerald Toussaint were playing, but the Wolverines would have much more of a fighting chance. Michigan's other options at running back aren't nearly as formidable.
- I still believe Denard Robinson is a great football player. But he has about as much chance in this game as Davy Crockett at The Alamo.
- That was a great play by Michigan defensive lineman Will Campbell to open the game. Where has he been since?
- I'm tried of hearing about how Nick Saban is such a great game coach. His team is so good because his athletes are superior. Michigan didn't recruit well during the Rich Rodriguez era, regardless what the rankings said on signing day. This game was lost on those signing days.
- Jalston Fowler, Alabama's fullback, sums up this football game. It's like RoboCop  has entered the room every time he runs through a hole, either as a lead blocker or carrying the ball.
- Michigan did rally from a 24-7 deficit last year to beat Notre Dame. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, Alabama isn't Notre Dame.
