Looking for Another view of Final Play vs. Indiana

Submitted by IncrediblySTIFF on

So -- this is what I got from the B16 game film:

To me, it looks like Paige caught the pass, and then Hill got his hand in and knocked it out.  I don't think I'm going way out on a limb or breaking any ground here.  I was wondering if there are any other images/videos of this that we can immortalize.  Can anyone point me in the direction of something better than a play filmed from 100000 yards away mostly covered up by a scorebox?

 

Also, lets just take a moment to see how sad Paige is after that play.  Poor guy.  I wouldn't ever wish that sinking feeling on anyone, but better them than me (because obviously me, as a spectator, would have felt worse than he did if the outcome was reversed).

 

 

EDIT: updated title for more clarity

Thanks everyone.

I don't get to see many games, living about 1.5 hours SW of Bloomington. Thankfully, I work part time at a local radio/TV station doing color commentary, camerawork, and the like, and the Sports Director sent me up to shoot highlights for our news broadcast.

As far as joining the celebration, I was there in a "professional" capacity and was trying to keep my emotions in check. Also, those guys are huge and I really didn't want to get trampled! 

Thanks again for the kind words.

Doesn't look to me like he ever caught the ball. Bounced up off of his pads on initial contact and then Hill batted it away so he could not catch it off the bounce.

wondering that too--because it was pretty hard to tell from the TV angle.  The other angles are better though, and it just looks like really good defense to me.

multiple looks of a play that ended in Michigan's favor and win? It was a great pass breakup. If you want to dwell on it as a season-defining play for postseason deliberation, be my guest, find multiple angles with appropriate dramatic music, arc of saga and relevance to seasonal finish as a coda to what is, and what also might have been. Otherwise, we move forward our imagination still intact for the week ahead.

the pass was broken up before the ball crossed the goal line.  I think I'm as compassionate as the next person but I'm not going to cry over the IU player sadness.  We've had years to cry as Michigan fans, it's time to get out of that mindset.
