Your Daily Dose of "Woo!"
From who else? WolverineHistorian of course. A quick question if I may: outside of this game, can anyone think of another instance where a team recovered a blocked FG out of the air behind the line of scrimmage and advanced it for a first down? I can honestly say I cannot think of any other time where this has occurred.
Also, the final drive of this game is one of the more underrated moments in Michigan football lore if you ask me, the throws that Collins makes under pressure are somewhere near "jaw-dropping" on the meter.
Oh, and Remy Hamilton? Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

I was on the field for that game
I was seated on the five yard line, field level and watched Hamilton’s kick soar right through the uprights less than 100 feet away.
The highlight on my freshman year football obsession.

Just an epic game...
You had some nice bookend experiences in your college career then didn’t ya Dave?
No matter how many times I watch Collins get away on that last play, I still can’t believe it.

this game was on my 13th Birthday. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was going insane after Remy nailed the game winner.
Wow.
I’m old. ;)

Was this the same year...
they beat Virginia in the Kick Off Classic with a game ending TD catch by MErcury Hayes in the corner of the end where he barely dragged his foot in bounds?
If so, that is one hell of a start to a season.
That was the next year
This was, well, right before the Colorado game and only a few weeks before the epic, epic Penn State game (they went on to be undefeated and it was the closest they came to losing if I’m not mistaken). After those two losses, the wheels fell off a bit with losses to Wisconsin and Ohio State, but this one salvages a lot from that season.
