You are right. He could have handed it to the speedy receiver on his right when he was on the 30 and then become the lead blocker.Also,if that Mich guy would've tossed it back 1 more time @ the 15 yrd line the Wolverines would've won because he had 2 teammates right behind him and zero Neb defenders to tackle them.Why in the hell did the Mich guy get tackled without throwing the ball backwards anyway?
Keep in mind there were two Nebraska defenders back there and two in hot pursuit so it would have been close but I think the Wolves could have scored.
