Hail to the victors

For Michigan and coach Lloyd Carr, who was already played to mixed feelings among the school's massive fan base, this loss was as crushing as it was embarrassing. There is simply no excuse for such an upset and Michigan's two turnovers, two kicks blocked, ill-timed penalties and defensive and offensive mistakes played a huge role here.

It is a result that will rock the program, renew calls for Carr to hang it up at season's end and snuff out any chance of a current assistant coach to step up and take over this vaunted power.

"I think it begins with being a prepared team," Carr told the Michigan radio network. "And that's my responsibility. I did not have the team prepared."
