we have really had their number, haven't we? Thanks so much for all your hard work, WH.

Why is Morelli getting concussed while still completing a long pass a highlight?

It clearly says 10 memorable plays, not 10 highlights.

I spy Jerry Sandusky at 1:04.
October 10th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
every one of those.

Another memorable one that gets overshadowed (obviously) by #1 is Manningham's TD catch earlier in that game. Henne's throw and Mario's catch were a thing of beauty.

How many times did we get to hear, "Wheatley....finds a hole....he's gone!" ?
Also, that catch by Marquise Walker and #1....obviously. Never, ever gets old.

didn't give him the ball more in the 4th quarter of that 1994 game.
The 1994 PSU/U-M game ----- wow, that was a very very very very very high quality football game. Michigan gave Penn State their toughest challenge that year.

That was awesome!! Thank you for putting these together!

Now Branch crushing Morelli I understand, since that's an iconic photo an it was a form tackle. Great throw by Morelli in the face of that.

The pass completion to Woodson in the '97 game stands out, think it was a slant pattern. That was #1 for me, beating out the '05 ending. On the other side of the ledger in terms of what the outcome was, but still memorable, was the Penn State punt block in '96.

The play from that game that was, IMO, missing (the only real flaw here) was Brian Griese's scramble and Keith Jackson's all-time comment afterwards.
October 11th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
Oh yes. "The last time he ran that fast, his daddy was chasing him with a stick" (or something close). I miss Keith Jackson.

I don't agree with the five-yard run by Tom. I mean, obviously that was an important play considering it was a touchdown, but it was just "meh" for me on the list. That Wheatley run was just downright dirty though.
EDIT: That play in 2005 with one second left always makes me giggle. God that was perfect.
October 10th, 2013 at 8:23 PM ^
Great compilation! The '05 86 = 1 game was my sophomore year in the band. I remember it got so quiet in the stadium when the pass was in the air you could hear it thump into Manningham's chest.
October 11th, 2013 at 1:51 AM ^
Yep, mine too. I refuse to apologize for any stupid things I may have done after that thing was over. I'll never forget the way that entire end of the stadium literally exploded as soon as Manningham caught the ball.

Miami Hurricanes have one this year. This is 2013. Grow up.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:43 PM ^
Yeah, I don't think that imbalance has been caused by some civil rights issue.

both the manningham and perry touchdowns were watched while I sat in the bar (on the clock) as the whole bar shut down to see the end of the game...
to this day when I think of my time at webers I think of penn state...

These are all great! The most memorial Michigan-PSU game that I attended was when Mallett filled in for Henne in 2007. Hart got the ball something like 50 times and Mallett ran in for a score in the corner of the endzone I was sitting in.
I know, cool story, bro... but that was a big game. It got Michigan back to .500 and really got their season back to respectable after the App.St. debacle and Oregon game.

game was to me a huge memory. Glen Steele was deep in the Penn State backfield and crushed their QB while he was still trying to carryout a fake end around. Michigan came to play that day!

awesome work. any chance in the future you could put the year on the video? also, it's weird to see that joepa had black hair in some of those clips. one thing that didn't change was how pissed he was in every clip. ha!
October 11th, 2013 at 8:46 AM ^
As always, great stuff.
October 11th, 2013 at 10:45 AM ^
The Daydrion Taylor hit should be number one IMO. Not that it should be "celebrated" per se. But that play was huge for that game, and for those players careers. Both fan bases remember that play like it was yesterday. When you have an entire special based on one tackle, idk how it isn't number one.

You mean the Comeback Kid once led a comeback via scrambling for a touchdown? Lolwut.
October 11th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
I believe he also had a 15-yard run earlier in that drive. In college, too, the guy was just a winner.
