Patriots are on the way to the superbowl with absolutely zero rushing game in evidence tonight. Perhaps running is overrated?
Patriots have 15 carries for 29 yards (excluding Brady, who has 1 carry for 2 yards). Excluding one 18 yard run, Patriots have 14 carries for 11 yards. Michigan is a running powerhouse in comparison.Last edited by Detroit Dan; January 22, 2017, 09:12 PM.Comment

Hard to believe that Lloyd Carr platooned Brady as a 5th year senior (with sophomore Drew Henson). From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady
In the 1999 season, Brady had to once again hold off Henson for the starting job. The two platooned over the season's first seven games, with Brady playing the first quarter, Henson the second and Carr then deciding upon a quarterback for the second half. The 1999 Michigan Wolverines started off 5–0, including a 26–22 win over Notre Dame, and a road win against eventual powerhouse Wisconsin. Against Michigan State, Brady was not chosen to play the second half; however, he was reinserted into the game with Michigan down 17, and he nearly led Michigan all the way back before losing 34–31. After a 300-yard passing game the following week, Carr went exclusively with Brady for the remainder of the season. Brady went on to lead Michigan to multiple 4th-quarter comebacks, including a remarkable 31–27 win against Penn State, and leading them out of a close game against Indiana, 34–31, heading into the regular season's final game, winners of three straight, earning him the moniker of "Comeback Kid".
Brady concluded the regular season against Michigan's rival, Ohio State, in a dramatic game, with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line. With five minutes left, tied 17–17, Brady led Michigan to the winning score. He led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama, throwing for 369 yards, four touchdowns, leading the team back from a pair of 14-point deficits in regulation (14–0 in the first half, and 28–14 in the second). He threw the game-winning score on a bootleg to tight end Shawn Thompson. Michigan won when Alabama missed an extra point following its own touchdown.Last edited by Detroit Dan; January 22, 2017, 10:06 PM.Comment

Not really. Michigan had one of the QBs of all time, and that was the difference. (along with the missed extra point)Comment
