Dylan Thompson came off the bench to throw a 32-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds remaining Tuesday, giving No. 11 South Carolina a 33-28 victory over No. 19 Michigan in the Outback Bowl. Thompson replaced Connor Shaw during the winning drive, covering the final 43 yards after the Gamecocks’ starter began the march from his own 30. Devin Gardner’s third TD pass of the game had given Michigan a 28-27 lead.

Shaw threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns after missing South Carolina’s regular-season finale against Clemson with a left foot sprain. Gardner threw for 214 yards in his fifth start for Michigan (8-5) since Denard Robinson injured his right elbow in late October.

Here are Tom Dienhart’s Snap Reactions:

1. This was a painful loss for the Wolverines, who inexplicably allowed a game-winning 32-yard touchdown passes in the dying 11 seconds of the game after surging ahead. On that final, fateful drive, the Wolverines needed someone on the defense to make a play, to stop the ball, to get off the field, to hold the Gamecocks to a field-goal attempt. But, alas, no one made a play for a defense that yielded 426 yards (341 passing).

2. Denard Robinson played well in his swan song, running for a team-high 100 yards. He also threw his first pass since injuring his elbow in late October. And Robinson caught a pass for seven yards. It wasn’t enough to send the senior out a winner, but his legacy as one of the top players in school history is firmly entrenched. You will be missed, “Shoelace.”

3. Devin Gardner had his moments at quarterback and looks primed to take that next step in 2013 after leading Michigan to 353 yards. He hit 18-of-35 passes for 214 yards with three touchdowns and an interception and looks to have a bright future after starting the final five games of the season.
