Denard, on which long run of his career is his favorite: "The next one."
Take a minute today and cherish the young man who represents the University of Michigan at quarterback.
That's a truism... everything he says is rainbows and unicorns
Upon accepting his second Super Bowl MVP trophy, Tom Brady told the story yesterday of Jon Falk, the popular equipment manager at his alma mater, Michigan. Falk has collected so many rings that he's always asked, "Which is your favorite?"
His standard response: "The next one."
"I love him, he's a great coach, he's a great mentor, he's a great friend. He's every single thing you want a college coach to be, and he does it flawlessly." -David Molk
Didn't Hugh Hefner say basically the same thing many years ago when asked which Bunny was his favorite?
That's a good question though... what do y'all think? That one last saturday was one of the most impressive, since he did a little shaking and baking, while outrunning defenders. The most memorable to me was the big run at ND two years ago, probably because that was his coming out party in my eyes.
Touchdown Michigan!
It has to be his long run against ND. Maybe not the most impressive as far as running skill (he basically went between two blocks and then was fast), but certainly the most important to a big game, and the most visible nationally.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
first snap from scrimmage against Western. He announced his presence with AUTHORITY!
EDIT: meant to be a reply to will
That was when I knew RR had something. The Iowa game though was confirmation he was special, even though he fell short. That ending and the video of his disappointed body language still makes me a sad panda.
How'd i just go emo?
Touchdown Michigan!
His long TD run against Bowling Green 2 years ago is the one that comes to mind first.
ohio was pretty damn big last year.
The ND one was probably the most memorable because of the game importance. But lest we forget the first time Denard touched the ball against Western Michigan he scored.
Sorry for double post, anyone know how to delete this one?
Hail! to the Victors Valiant Hail!
Denard is the greatest young man in a place with a great history of great young men.

He is probably going to be my favorite player of all time. Hard to tell what kind of players are going to come through in the future, but for me, it is going to be hard to top Denard.

although Jordan Kovacs is also very high on that list.

As far as I can calculate, Denard only needs 450 yards rushing to take first spot in most yards rushing by a QB (overtake Pat White's 4,480 yards). Tremendous!!
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Backed up deep in our own end, down by 5, with under a minute to play, Denard is flushed from the pocket, fakes a throw to get the onrushing LB into the air, and then goes around and through the entire OSU defense for the winning TD. The lamentation of the Columbus women can be heard clearly on national TV.
Ron Swanson, what is the best steak burrito you have ever had in your life?
Tenim un nom el sap tothom. Barca, Barca, BAAARCA!
The steak? Porterhouse.
The beans? Bacon.
The tortilla? Nonexistent.
The salsa? 18 year old single malt scotch.
Notre Dame, 2010, 87 yard run to go up 21-7. Denard's had a lot of great moments, but that was the man's coming out party. That run essentially solidified his status as a household name in the college football world.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Mine has to be his first against Western, pretty good way to start your college career
"Weeeeelllllll....." - Brady Hoke
Western Michigan. The whole world lined up against Michigan football. Mark Snyder of the Free Press having predicted a Michigan loss that day.
Denard in the shotgun. His first play on the field in Michigan Stadium. Takes the snap from center, drops the ball, and promptly runs for a touchdown. There would be other touchdowns, other great runs, other big games. But this, the first, was incomparable.

My favorite one is also his run vs western. There was the classic quote that the announcer said, "Look at that speed!"
My favorite Denard run was the long TD vs Bowling Green with the 87-yarder against ND being a close second.
On another note, I got the opportunity to meet him at Black Homecoming this past weekend!
