Game saving 4th down pass.

Game-saving run on the 3rd-and-14 was every bit as huge!!

Anyone else have flashbacks to the 2005 Rose Bowl when Mich / Henne ran a very similar play to KC's 4th & 1 last night? If memory serves (and it's pretty seared in there), we had a 3rd and 2. Make it and we could run clock down to zero and win game with a chip shot FG against Vince Young's Texas Longhorns. It was the Rose Bowl and we are Michigan, so I'll let you figure out what happened.

2 UofM QB’s playing late in the playoffs.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:13 PM ^
This officially counts as a win over Ohio.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
I’m going with this guy! Good thinking.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:14 PM ^
I feel like Navin R. Johnson when the new phone book arrives!
This is the day when Michigan football turns around...
January 17th, 2021 at 6:20 PM ^
The tide is turning. Way too slowly. But turning nonetheless.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:48 PM ^
Selling Chad Henne jerseys in Ohio would be a good start.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:14 PM ^
It's those wheels he flashed why he's stuck around in the league this long. Just an immaculate athlete who hasn't lost a step.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:18 PM ^
Yeah, let's just ignore that horrific interception he threw.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
Good point. Makes the game sealing drive at the end all that much better. What poise and guts!
January 17th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
It's very this fanbase to have people piss and moan after an alum wins a football game because he made a mistake.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:44 PM ^
I would say it's very "this fanbase" to make a post to celebrate the guy's performance when he barely avoided losing the game with a 59.4 QB rating.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:48 PM ^
Agree. Wins don’t matter. We should focus on the bad plays made prior and be as miserable as we possibly can at all times.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:55 PM ^
What's going on Wichitan?
Why all the negative B.S. posts lately? For years your posts were solid...bring that guy back.
January 18th, 2021 at 10:50 AM ^
Nope, this mostly "this fanbase" that instead of just admitting you're having a rough night and logging off you gotta just keep on digging after, I can only assume, being held at gunpoint and forced to respond to a thread that excitedly supported a former player helping his team make it to the AFC championship game.
Also, I wouldn't read too much into QBR since per that stat Jameis Winston had the best weekend in NFL history and Jared Goff was better than anyone not named Aaron Rodgers (and only by a little) despite throwing for 6 ypa.

I see a W for Chad when the clock hit 00:00
Who gives a shit about that int
January 17th, 2021 at 9:58 PM ^
Somebody must be pissing in your corn flakes every morning.
January 17th, 2021 at 11:50 PM ^
Nice edit. +1.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:19 PM ^
How many 15 yard runs did he have at Michigan? I can't believe he had that.
January 17th, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
Henne had -315 rushing yards in his college career. Obviously because of sacks, but yeah I don’t remember too many 15+ yard runs.

January 17th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Not a lot of them but he had a career long run of 18 yards against Wisconsin in 2005 (see here for more detailed stats).
January 17th, 2021 at 6:21 PM ^
Two clutch plays in the final 2 plays of the game! Proud of him.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:21 PM ^
Chad MF Henne right now.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
Chad MVP Henne!

January 17th, 2021 at 6:26 PM ^
Thanks for that Chad. I appreciate it. Less arm punts next week if PH can’t play though. Thanks.
January 17th, 2021 at 6:28 PM ^
When Romo/ Nantz were talking how they could put on the backup qb. If the moment would be too big, all I can think of Brian's "Chad Henne is a Robot article"
Five plays and 56 yards later, Henne zeroed in on Z45 Part A Subsequence C Tight End Tyler Ecker, Rabbit-Hunting Mormon, crossing in front of a Minnesota linebacker; various servos and hydraulics kicked in. Henne flung a pass into Z45PASCTETERHM's outstretched arms, declared GOAL COMPLETED, and initiated nailcoeds.exe.

I just read that for the first time ever, a great front page 2007 post by Brian.
Thanks!
January 17th, 2021 at 6:37 PM ^
The scramble was clutch and unexpected. The 4th down honestly was more about the Browns inexplicable giving WR's cushion and not even being ready for a snap, that was ridiculously easy. But still big props for the unexpected scramble effort to even set that up.
January 17th, 2021 at 7:13 PM ^
Glad to see Henne do well. But was hoping for a Chiefs loss.
January 17th, 2021 at 7:53 PM ^
Michigan! Represent.
January 17th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
Chad made some nice plays and a heckuva run before the 4th and inches surprise pass that iced the game.
January 17th, 2021 at 8:54 PM ^
Perhaps the crowning achievement of Henne's professional career? If not, certainly the most-watched achievement and, unless he plays much in the next game against Buffalo, no doubt the most remembered. We all knew he could run -- 12 years ago (!!) -- but at age 35? That was truly sacrificial.
January 17th, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
It's actually been 13 years (January 2008) since we last saw him for Michigan.
January 17th, 2021 at 11:12 PM ^
I never thought Tom Brady and Chad Henne would still be playing QB in the NFL long after Denard Robinson left, but hey, that's the NFL. So proud of those 2 for playing that well at their age. Those 2 are legit, hats off to the dynamic duo
January 17th, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
I see two M qbs in the playoffs ...where dem Buckeyes at?
January 17th, 2021 at 11:18 PM ^

Way to go, Chad Henne!
