I am pretty sure that he thought Denard was injured, and just asked if he was ok...he apparently hadn't seen him do that on every touchdown he has scored this season...

after watching his 87 yard TD run several times I would be more interested in hearing what the ND band dude that walked in front of him said.  On the replay he clearly looks down and says something...and I'm pretty sure it's not, "Go Blue."

The media, especially ESPN, would have had a field day if Denard had been flagged for excessive celebration while thanking God on Notre Dame's home field.  There would have been some of the best discussions on hypocrisy the sport has ever seen. 

And Michigan still would have found a way to win.

I wondered the same thing.  I'd guess he was asking if Denard was injured, because he didn't stand up before he kneeled.  He just got to his knees and put his head in his hand.

I really, really doubt he was being told to keep his celebration in check.

"That's a fine play, son.  By the way, I have a beautiful young daughter that I'd love you to meet some time, and maybe breed Heisman-winning All-Americans , err, take out for a soda sometime."

The ref was definitely saying something about his celebration.  With the new rule that was passed you can barely do anything other then just hand the ball back to the official, which is ridiculous IME.  You've gotta let the players play and if the celebration goes to far then flag it, but there should never be a flag for dropping to a knee in prayer.
