Mich PBP

The keep it close and try to steal it at the end strategy makes me want to puke. Doesn't matter if it is Michigan or Iowa, it just pisses me off.

that was well beyond reaction time. in the past far leg in = takedown. the only way that’s not a takedown today is if they’ve changed the interpretation of that position. maybe they have?
I don’t think so. I’ve always understood reaction tme to mean you have to establish control for a minimum
period of time (2 seconds) before the TD is awarded, no matter how that control is obtained. That is, leg or no leg, the control
has to exceed 2 seconds. Of course, that’s a silent, non-signaled count and varies by ref (like falls).

I think they wanted to see leg in and weight on supporting part (hands/hips) for 2 continuous seconds. Ayala was rolling through in time to avoid being “secured”
within the refs internal clock for control.
 
They were pretty even through the first 5 minutes.

Drake pushed the pass in 3rd and OT, but at that point it's too late in the match. Drake should've been firing off full throttle off the opening whistle.

And Drake has no top game. He cannot allow it to get to ride outs.
Drake has to quit letting guys roll and get to his legs on his takedown, or at least learn to make them pay when they do. It's almost guaranteed stalemate when it happens to Drake.

This why Michigan will finish 5th or worse again when it matters.

“2 continuous seconds” is an insane interpretation of reaction time unless we’re talking about a nursing home invitational.
