10. "You're Really Good"

This GIF could probably carry the state of Michigan in the 2016 presidential election.

9. They Never Learn

Jourdan Lewis' coverage couldn't have been better on his record-breaking pass breakup; not only does he bat the ball away, but the Rutgers receiver lands out of bounds anyway because Lewis has pressed his route all the way to the sideline.

8. Denard Rudock

The touchdown:

Rudock's long, winding journey to and from a two-point conversion:

Always nice to get a hug after returning from the wilderness.

7. Jabrill Peppers Mid-Game Workout

"Hold on, I need to dead-lift a slot receiver."

6. Never Too Early For Rick's Reps

Break it down, Ben Braden.

5. Drake Johnson, Human Emoji

I'm loath to embed my own tweets but in this case it's the only way to get the proper caption:

4. Deceive This

Harbaugh's reaction to the "intent to deceive" call, part one:

I'm so mad they cut away when they did, though at least we see Jay Harbaugh's amused reaction. Anyway, part two:

Harbaugh: offended.

3. Not Boring, Jarrod Wilson

Solid work on the leaping first-down signal by Peppers, as well. Zoom on the catch:

Boring is good, but this is most acceptably not boring.

2. Peppers As Denard

We really need to get some more cameras on this guy.

FRAMES OF THE GAME: DR. JAMES JOSEPH HARBAUGH

Dr. Harbaugh: "What seems to be the problem here?"
Patient: "It's my back, doc."
Dr. Harbaugh: "Oh, that's no problem at all. A little breeze through the ol' mine shaft will have you up in no time."
Patient: "I've made a huge mistake."

Dr. James Joseph Harbaugh.  I was wondering what the hell he was doing when he opened up Dymonte's pants.  Maybe trying to let him know his member was still attached? No clue.

Chesson puts a great block on his guy on the conversion. Splitting two blockers on that kick return is pretty good too. I'm really excited about what he can do next year with a more consistent downfield arm under center.

That 2-point coversion got my vote as well, mostly for Chesson's heads-up blocking, which sealed off the corner/pylon.  Very smart and symbolic of Chesson and his outstanding overall play.  He's a FOOTBALL PLAYER.

 

Also of note was the fact that Harbaugh went for 2 in the first place, despite having a large lead.  That mentality is at least partially the reason UM is 7-2, and could easily be undefeated right now.

Played football for 8 glorious years.  The standard treatment for getting the wind knocked out of you is for someone to pull at the waistband and give you room to breathe. 

But yeah, it does look a little awkward...

Peppers is never a decoy; he calls the plays and overrules Harbaugh because of an intergalactic treatise that limits his touches to avoid harming the universe.  He is actually sleeping when he's playing football.  He's awake at nights when his shadow obscures the sun.

Given our track-history with targeting, I'm surprised Shallman didn't called in "Shallman Smash." He seemed to lower his head, and any Rutgers player is pretty much the definition of defenseless.

This really has been a terrific and mostly satisfying season so far, given a handful of disappointing moments in the Utah game and "that" happening. The best evidence of this would be to string all of Ace's OFAAT's into a hype video. There have been so many great moments, plays and reactions. Even if they go 8-4, they'll get a weaker bowl matchup and probably finish 9-4 and what a glorious 9-4 season it will have been, all things considered. Of course, I have every expectation they're going to end up even better than that.

Jim was pulling the player's (I forgot who it was) pants up because the guy had gotten the wind knocked out of him. I remember my old soccer coach used to do that. For some reason all of these old school coaches think that pulling up a guys belt is really going to let restore his normal breathing patterns

I swear I was going to vote for the Wilson INT or Peppers as Denard but when I saw the Dr. Haubaugh one and then the caption I was rollin'. That was good, it'd get two votes if I could do that.
