The latter was the biggest part that kept Michigan in the game. Deondre Francois consistently missed easy throws on first down that put the offense behind the sticks which allowed Michigan to pin their ears back while rushing.
Some of it was FSU football battling poor field position for a good part of the game, and Jimbo Fisher looking to avoid what happened late in the third quarter with Michigan’s interception return for a touchdown.
