Five turnovers Saturday night from the Wolverines, and unbelievably, they still had a chance to win the game in the final minutes. 

With the Wolverines trailing by two points, who should come out and lead them with less than two minutes on the clock and only one timeout in their pockets? Not freshman Tate Forcier, who had authored three improbable come-from-behind heroics already this season.

Nope, it was Denard Robinson, the other freshman quarterback, who may have dazzling speed, but hadn't shown much accuracy throwing the football prior to Saturday.

So when Iowa intercepted his pass to preserve its 30-28 victory, Rich Rodriguez naturally fielded some questions on his decision to play Robinson in crunch time instead of Forcier. 

That's where we begin our coverage of Michigan's defeat:
