It was 42-27 at this point. There was still over 12 minutes in the game.
I was watching a giant screen TV in a packed event sponsored by the Ohio State Orange County (CA) Alumni Assn. So I didn’t hear the TV commentary clearly all of the time.
Were Gus and Joel surprised by Harbaugh’s decision? I thought it was crazy at the time because it was only a two-score game and, if Michigan failed to make it, it seemed like they were practically giving Ohio State another 3 points at a minimum.
Did anyone else think this decision was an over-the-top gamble by Harbaugh?
