Memorable Michigan goal line stands
It seems there hasn't been too much talk about the superb game-winning goal line stand yesterday. IU ran a total of five (!) plays inside our three-yard line, gaining a yard on the first play but zero for the next four.
That makes two trips in a row to Bloomington that we've won the game with a defensive stand on the line.
What have been some other memorable goal line stands? The one that most comes to mind for me in the 1993 PSU one. And of course there was 2015 Minnesota, though their clock management helpfully prevented them from running a full set of downs. What are others we've had?

Wheatley ripped off a long run right after that, if I remember.

Well, it's sort of an anti-memorable one - it prevented a memorable (to other fanbases) finish.

Totally agree with you, defense needs credit for that crazy effort!
I would also say the wall built Halloween Night 2015 against Minnesota was the most memorable.

at the end of yesterday's game and the one vs. Minnesota are two of the best I can remember. Yesterday's was just tremendous. Thought staff was smart to call time out as well after 2nd or 3rd play yesterday to give the D a blow as well. In only his second year at Michigan, Don Brown is The Boss of Dudes.

2010 Illinois: Also stopped them on 2 point conversion to win, this time in 3OT, in a game where literally no defense was played all game(67-65).
These may be shitty examples since they were during our dark years, but they were memorable to me since I was at both of these games.

'93 Penn State is THE answer in my lifetime.

The halloween game against Minny. Which gave us the unfortunate glimpse into our future qb Wilton Speight. Dude looked lost out there. Like a deer caught in headlights. I know he had the TD and we won... but go back and watch his first few drives again.
Also, Indiana 2 years ago in Bloomington. I remember that game fondly. We couldn't stop the run ALL GAME. And then on the last play of the game, for some reason, they tried to throw and they ended up losing.

Speight looked lost those first few drives, but that TD pass (and 2-point conversion) was clutch. The guy's a bit up and down but he's had his moments. If we'd gotten the 4th-down call to go our way in Columbus, his 4th and goal pass would be legend.
