2005 Michigan - Penn State Final Drive video

michigan stadium got rick roll'd!

Nobody was more estatic than me when this happened.  But right now it just depresses me as a Dolphins fan.  Throw the ball downfield damnit!!! I'm getting flashbacks from Sunday when he dumped it off to Lousaka Polite on 3rd and 8 for 1 yard on our last drive.

But really the last throw had to be one of the greatest in Michigan history.  I mean he threads the needle over 2 PSU defenders and put in the perfect spot to avoid the defender on Manningham's backside.  It's throws like these that help me feel confident that Henne is going to be a good quarterback.  I still think he checks down too often and too fast to do so.

I have got to say, even though I don't despise Penn State like I do certain other teams, I always enjoy beating them.  What a great game. 

According to the broadcasters, Michigan's player of the game was a linebacker.  Obviously this was decided before the game was decided, but still, it's been a while.

I think that's David Brandon at the 10:45 mark

Henne (dolphins), Avant (eagles), Breaston (cardinals), Manningham (giants), Hart (colts).

GO BLUE CRUSH PSU !!!!

This was my freshman year when I was overly invested, emotionally, in the scoreboard at the end. I was one of the last people to leave Michigan stadium that night. No game remains more vivid for me than that one.

Only said Tremendous once and was referring to Penn State. I have to say I'm a little disappointed with his interview efforts after the game.

this is like watching Michigan porn.  I love it.

how we love this game so much (me included) even though it was a highlight in an otherwise poor (relative to our then-standards) expectations. Just goes to show -- an exciting finish is memorable regardless of the season (I feel the same way about last year's ND game).

For all the bitching PSU does about calls that were actually correct, I'm surprised we don't hear more about Avant's heel landing OOB. 

I have gotten a chance to watch the drive.  I was on my honeymoon in Hawaii and didn't get a chance to watch the game, only highlights, and only heard about the 2 seconds and saw the highlight of the final play.  From this video, the 2 seconds added doesn't look like it was Lloyd complaining non stop for them like the Penn State fans have said.  It looks like the play ended, we called timeout right away, the clock ran past the timeout, and they reset the clock to the right time.  Classic finish.  Hopefully it won't be this close this year (meaning we roll) and we get an epic finish like this against TP and TUOS.

Amazing to think that UM went into that game 3-3 and 1-2 in the Big 10.  The next year they were 11-0 going into the final game of the season.

Perspective.

Gave me goosebumps. I was 8 rows up in the endzone where Manningham caught the TD. One of the best days I've ever had.

I was in the north endzone, so I couldn't really tell what happened on the last play.  I just heard the stadium explode.  Awesome.

if the PSU safety does his job and steps back just 3 steps, henne's only option was probably Avant.  That would have been a thread the needle throw.

good times, good times.
