Three red faces reproach the mind when pondering on the Jack Sawyer scoop-and-score that Hollywood screenwriters would be laughed out of a room for pitching.
The cinematic conclusion to the chief storyline of Sawyer and his 2021 recruiting class should have been his on Nov. 30. In a 10-10 game in the fourth quarter against Michigan, with the Wolverines in a goal-to-go situation, the defensive end made what should have been a game-saving interception.
Instead, his offense went three-and-out for what felt like the 50th time that game, the Wolverines waltzed downfield for a field goal and won 13-10.
