Michigan chokes in Rose Bowl

Vince Young, Vince Young, and more Vince Young. The wolverines had a dissapointing loss to Texas in the Rose Bowl game. The wolverines offense played very well. Michigans defense however was dominated by Vince Young, Vince Young, and of course Vince Young. Vince is a overated quaterback who just has plenty of speed. The reason Michigan could not stop him is because of the bad tackling especially by the defensive line. I know that a lot of defense and offensive guys didn't play but that is no excuse for bad tackling. In 3 of Vince Young's touchdown runs, the Wolverines layed a hand on Vince Young 2 times or more on each of his touchdown runs. I really don't understand why Michigan could contain Cedric Benson. For michigan's offense, the wolverines did a good job containing the strong texas defense of line with the exception of 3 of their offensive linemen including one of their best blockers Adam Stenavich. Next year, the Michigan wolverines still might be a threat with their offense guns and their good secondary and linebackers. Most of the defense isn't going to the draft so Michigan's defense could improve.
