Illinois Game: Your favorite moment

Winning the game due to a defensive play and becoming bowl eligible. That was my favorite moment!

It was the happiest I have been in the last 3 years of Michigan Football. It was so wonderful watching the afternoon games and waking up in the morning knowing that we are goin bowling.  I did however love very much the block you have prtrayed above. It was so nice to finally see us run some form of a "trick" play.

Forcier to Stonum laying down in the corner.  Illinois had us dead to rights so many times, I had accepted our fate.  That play gave me hope.

That crushing block is definitely number one, but next would probably be either of Hemingway's awesome TD catches. The one that he dances around 3 different guys and the one that he catches the ball off the defender's helmet. 

Also, I don't know why, but I really loved Avery's open field tackle to stop a key drive in the first quarter after we had turned the ball over. It was a big stop.

When I found out RR took Denard's health into account and decided to not let him play. Classy

Stonum's TD catch after Tate's scramble. It was so badly needed and the desperation and innovation of the play reminded me of ND last year. Honorable mentions to Hemingway's amazing catch off the tip, the defensive stops late in regulation and overtime, and the first play of the game. That play-action might be my favorite play in the book.

Please ignore double post

The last play where we won the game has to be number one.

Second would be the Hemingway WOOP! play.

Third was Floyd Simmons laying that guy out.

Can't go wrong with a 75 yard TD to start the game. After that play I just felt that their defense would have more problems stopping us than I had previously thought.

Loved the elusive effort of Hemingway to score on the pass from Tate.  Improv by both the QB and the receiver including the blocking by Stonum.  Could set up as a future hook and lateral play if it was a few more yards away from the sideline.

Man, tough to choose one.  Heck, tough to choose less than a dozen.  The last play was special.  After doggin on Mouton all day long I had just said to my son, "wouldn't it be great if he ended this thing right here?"

Also loved the juggling catch in 2OT!

Also, also loved Shaw's TD untouched.

Also, also, also loved starting the game with a 75 yard bomb.  That happened because of Denard's ability to run.  Sucked the entire defense to him.

Also, also, also, also, ok really I could go on but I must stop and try to be productive.

the reverse on the kickoff, something we havent seen yet and it worked out pretty well for us

...but Barwis wiping a tear from his eye right before hugging Fred Jackson after the game was pretty awesome.  It just shows the level of commitment these guys have day in and day out.  FWIW, GERG was reportedly in tears after the game as well.

There were a lot of highlights, but my favorite was Hemingway catching the ricochet in OT.  This week started off bad and that play showed we are finally getting some Michigan bounces.  

Hemingway's first TD.

I was laying down in bed watching the game (been sick all week). When Denard completed that bullet of a pass while running straight ahead, I sat up and started laughing. When Hemingway danced around the 3 would be tacklers and ran it in for a TD, I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes.

moment was after we made the final stop on defense because I hugged so many people I didn't know. It was the craziest moment I have ever been a part of.

on the defender. Everyone I was watching with thought it would be reviewed, and my 6 year old nephew kept saying it was a TD.

2 pt. conversion.  A very stressful moment from the couch.

Vinopal's stop of the RB at the line on 3rd and 1. Huge play.
