Saturday night in Los Angeles was a rude awakening for the Michigan football team.
The USC Trojans were favored to beat the Wolverines. So the loss to USC wasn't shocking. The manner in which it happened was.
USC out-gained Michigan football on the ground 224-109. The Wolverines allowed a 42-yard run to a walk-on running back on a third-and-26, when they only trailed by seven early in the third quarter.
That was the backbreaker. The final straw was when Bryce Underwood was intercepted, after an egregious hold on receiver Donaven McCulley, which caused the interception was ignored.
