I am thoroughly impressed. I genuinely don’t know how they do it. Every single time they have something going for them, they find a way to completely ruin their momentum with the least timely penalty imaginable.
Big play? Penalty. Third down stop? Penalty. Finally get some momentum? Believe it or not, penalty. At this point I’m convinced they could successfully execute a 99-yard touchdown drive during the National Championship, cure a major disease on the sideline, and reunite a lost child with his family, only for some dude to come flying into frame three seconds later and commit an unnecessary roughness penalty 45 yards away from the play.
It’s honestly an art form. Other teams commit penalties by accident. The Michigan Wolverines commit penalties with purpose. With precise timing. With an almost supernatural understanding of the exact moment when a penalty would cause the maximum possible amount of damage.
I’m not even mad anymore. I’m studying this. This level of self-sabotage needs to be preserved and taught to future generations.
