HONORABLE MENTION

Darboh touchdown.

Fan of the game.

Glasgow TFL.

You did good, kid.

This is good.

Henry sack.

The double fake screen.

Delano Hill clutch PBU.

Hurst sack on a three-man rush.

Rudock TD scramble the first.

Rudock TD scramble the second.

Rudock to Butt.

Touch the banner.

WOLVERBEAR.

Rogue punter.

"It's fourth and sixteen!"

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Ojemudia sack.

Stribling sticks a guy.

10. Give Yourself A Hand

Jourdan Lewis has this guy locked down so hard he can't even get his head around until a second after the ball flies past.

9. Glasgow Smash

The center probably dared to call him a walk-on. That is not advised.

8. Totally Natural Flinch

Seems legit.

7. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN

Sure, throwing a screen towards an unblocked Jabrill Peppers is a grand idea.

6. Chesson Out Of Nowhere

Head on a swivel, #16. Not that you probably need the reminder today.

5. Jim Harbaugh, Hype Man

Rudock took more punishment during this timeout than he did during the actual game.

4. Grandpa Tanner Simpson

The original:

Simpsonized:

/whistles Benny Hill theme

3. Jabrill Peppers, World's Best Bouncer

And don't come back.

2. Amara Darbeckham Jr.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

I'm not separating out all the Darboh and Smith GIFs because I genuinely want to see which play people liked more. If you feel really strongly about a specific angle, leave a comment.

1997 at Happy Valley, Dadrian Taylor slamming into Penn State's TE, Bob Stephenson, knocking them both out of the game was perhaps the defining moment of the '97 Michigan defense.  Sir Charles had the The Catch a couple of weeks earlier, but Dadrian Taylor delivered The Hit which spoke for the entire defense.  In some respects that's how I see Pepper's body slam.

but it wasn't just the game they were both knocked out of... it was the last down of football either man ever played.  While for its time it was a completely legit hit, today it would result in 15 yards and an ejection and for good reason.  Great hit, but don't know if it's good to celebrate it.

Yeah man.  It was vicious.  It was a gnarly hit but that definitely should have been flagged.  He left his feet and led with his head, spearing it right into the dude's shoulder.  The rules are designed not to just protect the ballcarrier but the tackler as well.  I mean, those guys were lucky it wasn't worse.

 

I like watching that highlight but it makes me cringe now...

Wormley had a similar tackle against Utah where he threw the guy to the ground like Pedro Martinez to Don Zimmer (r.i.p.) lol. That and Peppers' midair separation of the ball from the Oregon St. receiver ... I'm loving it that we're becoming bullies again. The absolute worst aspect of the Hoke era by a wide margin was getting manhandled by Michigan State's D and following it up with apologies about stakes. This year it look like Harbaugh, Durkin and the D might have other ideas where we could shove that stake.

Darboh's catch was outstanding. But Smith's run was possibly the best TD run by a UM running back in a decade. I prefer the teleport gif that's circulating though...

OFAAT posts contain more gifs every week! 

I am starting to really believe this coaching staff is light-years ahead of their competition. And that's not a slight to any of the staffs we've faced. 

This team has clearly bought into the competition on the team. It's so refreshing to see guys rotating in, all wanting to make a big on field impact. 

I can't wait for Saturday! Go Blue!

Can someone put G...T...F...O....GTFO! in that gif somehow?

That would be perfect...in the meantime, when I need to express my desire for someone to remove themselves from a thread I use...

Now Darboh's catch was great and may be good enough to win on many occasions, but Smith's run was just supernatural.

That said, my vote was actually for the Harbaugh Hype because without that man, none of this would be happening.

So on #7 ... Anyone else notice the block on the CB? Seemed a little iffy to me. The old hit the side of the knee with a helmet block is a great way to hurt someone.

By the end of the season (or hell...maybe in a few weeks) there will be enough clips of Jabrill tossing players into the backfield to make a feature length film out of it.

I would watch that mashup over and over.

Peppers executes his job flawlessly (destroy the flat), but did anyone else notice that Ojemudia probably has this as a TFL with an assignment of "rush the passer". INCREDIBLE awareness for a DE to be able to snuff out a WR screen like that.  I guarantee he gets a couple helmet stickers for this - hopefully Brian gives him his due in UFR, which is most important.

and is thinking: "Hey coach, can we go back to Provo yet?"

This is a hard one. But, I gave my vote to Harbaugh the Hype man. I don't remember ever seeing anything like that before. Apparently he has done this before and I missed it. It is incredible what Rudock did the next drive. I wish I can do this at work!!!
