VT offense executed better than Michigan. Only problem is they couldn't score a td in the red zone and had to settle for FGs (4/5 in the whole game from a 3rd stringer). 3 of Michigan's scores came from key VT miscues, without which Michigan would not have rallied. The score should have probably already been VT 21-0 before the Michigan rally. Also, what led to the UM rally was VT's roughing the kicker on the punt. Then VT fumbled the following kick off, leading to a U of M field goal.

VT really should have won and I'm not arguing the OT call regarding the catch nor am I agreeing with it. With how their offense executed most of the game, they should have won and many Michigan fans I know agree with me.
I dont think you understand what choking is, in sporting terms.
VT did not choke v. Stanford, they got the shit beat out of them and embarrassed on the field.

VT did choke v. Michigan because they gave away a game they should have won, i.e. choking.
