Week 6: Best thing you saw
Well, me thinks Paramus Catholic would have been a tougher opponent. Total annihilation is always a solid 'best thing', but a few other items caught my eye:
- Another FSU - Miami classic
- Texas A&M outlasting the Vols magic
- Mike Leach in the road trip passenger interviews on Gameday (and the present lead over Stanford)
However, my 'best thing' this week...
young men who have willingly agreed to represent our country in international conflicts so the rest of us enjoy its freedoms banded together to rush for over 300 yards against the #6 team in the country. Navy beating Houston was the best thing I saw today. Congrats to the Midshipmen!
What you got?

Harbaugh always plays down the importance of those games in his press conferences, I think maybe to take pressure off his players. But behind closed doors, you know this is all he thinks about. Especially after what happened last year.

-Peppers single-handedly taking Rutgers to school. He should've had 3 TDs on the night, but oh well. His stats over one half were crazy.
-Emptying that entire stadium out to where no one but Michigan fans were left.
-Run game looked phenomenal. Quality of opponent, yes, but it's a great building block.
-Remember all those years where we looked AWFUL on the road? In seemingly every game? This was the complete opposite of that.
-Everyone stayed healthy, and a lot of the younger guys got A LOT of snaps. Heading into a bye week healthy is huge, and we have one more tuneup game before things start to get interesting.
Outside of Michigan:
-MSU losing again. I will say though that I fully expect a dog fight when we come in on the 29th. Their season has gone down the drain, and they will empty the playbook to try and beat us. I still think we win that game, but we will see a different Sparty that day.
-OSU looked human against IU. They won comfortably, but they did not look dominant by any stretch.
-ND loses again in a total slop-fest.
-Tennessee finally loses one. As soon as they tied that game, all I could think of was "here we go again" and "They're going to beat Alabama." I hope Alabama kicks them to the curb next weekend.
-Houston goes down. Puts to bed any hopes of a Group of 5 sneaking in, and if any team had to do it, I'm glad it was one of the service academies.

we beat a conference opponent on the road 78-0, in a "rivalry" game, without sustaining any more injuries, and everyone got snaps.

Two frauds out of the picture

Agree with the OP that watching the Middies rush the field after beating Houston was like a nice hot chocolate on a cold, cold day.
Best thing from the UM game was a very subtle action that I saw after one of our many QB sacks. On this particular play Mo Hurst won the race to the QB and after firmly planting him onto the turf Mo stood up and rubbed his belly like he had just finished off a whole gallon of his favorite flavor of post game ice cream. It was beautiful and I hope someone with far more IT skeelz than me can lay a video of it out there. Perhaps in the one frame at a time festival.

Hard not to pick Navy, but Notre Dame-NC State in Hurricane Matthew was glorious.

Sparty, getting totally slapped around, in an uncompetetive fashion, at home, to BYU.
