But on Friday, the Wolverines actually saw it.In an Orange Bowl where Michigan brought in an award-winning offensive line wearing shirts emblazoned with “Run the Damn Ball” to pregame warmups, the Wolverines got knocked off the ball, cajoled and treated like a ragdoll by a Georgia defense that, yes, has future pros from top to bottom.in Miami Gardens, Fla.
“Defensively and offensively, everyone had a great opening drive,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “That set the tone for the game.”Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis had won the Broyles Award for best assistant coach in the country, over Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning.

Linebacker Nakobe Dean made a sideline-to-sideline stop on a first-quarter third down for one of his eight tackles. Cornerback Derion Kendrick, a Clemson transfer, caught both interceptions.“There’s not a player on our team that prepares harder than he does, OK?” Smart said.
