The implications of Dominic Zvada’s missed field goal
On Saturday, Dominic Zvada did the unthinkable. Toward the end of the second quarter, the then-No. 15 Michigan football team lined up on then-No. 18 Oklahoma’s 14-yard line facing a fourth-and-2. Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood had just sailed the ball over the head over graduate wide receiver Donaven McCulley, who stood blocking his defender unaware…
