Well, that sucked.
Despite giving it their all and navigating an absolute heart attack of a game, the Michigan Wolverines have been eliminated from the College Football Playoff after losing 51-45 to TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.
Here’s how it played out on Twitter.
The opening drive started with the highest of highs, and ended with the lowest of lows:
Well, that’s quite a first play.

Easily the worst, most uncharacteristic play call of the season

I’ve seen players slip no fewer than 10 times on this field already.

Certainly a mystery:
Yes, can not think of any important calls that went against Michigan https://t.co/es0AB9nQWA

After an absolutely insane third quarter that saw 44 combined points, Wolverine fans were definitely emulating Paul Dano in their living rooms:

Entire textbooks on game strategy will need to be rewritten after this one:
I don't understand this game. I don't understand football.

My head hurts after watching the second half:

Between the call in the booth and the call on the field, what an absolutely cruel ending:
