Yes they were!! Michigan missed so many big tackles that would have possibly changed the outcome. As much as I hate to say it, they missed about as many big tackles as we have recently in key situations. I hope that the trend to try and make the big hit or arm tackle while trying to strip the ball will fade away. I am all for big hits and stripping the ball from the ball carrier, but not at the expense of giving the runner more yards!! Just deliver the big hit and wrap up!! Let the second and third tackler go for the ball!!
