Here's A Going Away Present, Lloyd

Now that's how you end a career. After a so-so season, Lloyd Carr's Michigan goes out with a rousing 41-35 victory.

To be honest, I expected them to lose. Everyone did. Florida is a top team with an offense that I thought would shred the Wolverines, and, even healthy, it was doubtful Henne and Hart could match the damage Tebow would inflict.

Instead, Michigan jumped out of the gate with a quick touchdown, and the lead seesawed for the rest of the game. The biggest surprise, in a bad way, was Hart. Here's a guy who never fumbles and he does it twice right next to the end zone. The second was especially costly, since it meant that Michigan went from likely being up 35-21 to a 28-28 tie (after they were caught flatfooted during a fake punt). Add two interceptions from Henne and it's amazing Michigan was even in the game.

With a tie game going into the fourth quarter, when Florida went ahead it looked like Michigan had blown it. I can't imagine what was going through Hart's head at this point. But with some amazing catches by Adrian Arrington, Michigan got in front again and the defense, even though they gave away five touchdowns, was able to hold Tebow when they needed to.

So long, Lloyd. You deserved it.
