The tigers were just happy to have made the ACC championship game. To actually win and be invited to the Orange Bowl was icing on the cake. But it was painfully odvious throw the first 3Q that michigan was on another level. The tiger trailed by 14 most of the game. But something clicked for star sensation Matt Harris in the 4th and preceeded going on a tear throw for a career high and new school passing record 449 yards(breaking the old record of 435). The tigers trailing by one touchdown with 30 seconds to go threw a 12 yard swing pass to c.j. spiller who took it in for the touchdown. Coach Bowden decided that with a visably tired tiger team who had to claw its way back into the game, that he needed to win it now and not in OT. So the tigers went for 2. Well, Matt Harris was sacked at the 5 yard line, GAME OVER. The season was a huge success as the tigers finished about 10 in all the major polls. True freshmen exceed expectations and will only get better. Davis almost surpassed the 2000yd mark rushing. There were alot of positives for a tiger team preparing for a National Championship run next season.
