1979: Game winning drive against Indiana 

I was there. On the pressbox side, 20 yd line. Watching this again just brought tears to my eyes as I will never forget the "out of body" experience I had that day as 12-year old boy alongside my Pappy, a proud UM Law School Graduate and someone that insisted I respect the Maize and Blue. Oh, and that I did. Thank you, Mark Harold Turpen for making this digital replay so incredibly emotional for me.

I have seen this 200+ times and I still get excited. Love ya AC

I was a sophomore student at the time and we were sitting in the North end zone. Honestly nobody saw this coming so when it happened it was the most amazing feeling We all ran down on the field and just soaked it in Hearing Ufers call later just put the icing on the cake. Bob was the ultimate Michigan man.

We use to turn the volume down on the t.v. and turn up Ufer's broadcast from the radio. He was awesome.

The most under appreciated part of this drive? Tied game, 4th and 1 on your own 29 yard line with less than 1 minute remaining and Bo goes for it in the face of a certain loss if they didn't make it. This guts and confidence permeated the Michigan program for 21 years. Thanks Bo.

Anthony Carter the greatest college receiver ever

"Welcome home from Bob Ufer WJR 76" This was a homecoming game.

Jimmy V said in his speech at the ESPY's "be moved to tears every day", and anytime I want some I just listen to this. Ufer at 5:48 "And I hope you can hear me..." RIP Bob Ufer. A new proud era of Michigan football is upon us. We know you're watching from football's Valhalla.

All these years later and I still miss Bob Ufer. How we miss those who brought us happy memories!

Ufer best play by play man ever

"they aren't even gonna try the extra point..who gives a damn" haha classic

I was driving west on 94 by Ypsilanti when this happened, I'll never forget it!😃

I was there. The Michigan fans went crazy - more than ever before or ever since. The whole crowd stayed around after the game for nearly an hour. Nothing like this has ever been seen before or since. No one wanted to leave.

I was a freshman in 1979, so my season tickets were in the north end zone (section 33). I remember seeing Lawrence Reid throwing the ball out of bounds right at Lee Corso to stop the clock on the second-to-last play. Lee was literally hopping mad on the sideline. I remember it seemed like the entire stadium was streaming to Anthony Carter in the south end zone after he scored. AC was an absolutely electric player. You felt like a touchdown was a real possibility every time he touched the ball

I still smile every time I watch and hear AC's TD in this game. He had the most spindly legs I'd seen on a WR, but no one seemed to be able to hit him directly.

The greatest announcer of all time.

Bob under your one of a kind you and Ernie harwell own the wolverine state in sports broadcasting rip Bob and Ernie

As it should be, the 2021 Big Ten championship comes down to OSU and Michigan. I know Bob Ufer will be watching. We were at this game. For one year, we had season tickets at mid field maybe 20 rows up.

I was at this game! Sitting in the south end zone with my dad and a friend. Never forget it.

I’ve only been to 4 Michigan football games in my 66 years on this planet. Wake Forest, 2 ohio state games (one was watching archie griffin get shut down big time) and this one. I had, what I thought through 99% of the game, terrible seats. Low, 8 rows up, and in the end zone. But that last 1% of the game was assume. We had no choice witch direction to go. It was either down to the field or get trampled. We stayed on the field for almost an hour, no one wanted to leave. One of life’s “ I’ll never for get this” moments. And, no, in Michigan, the word ohio or any player name there of is ever capitalized!

My very first game in the Big House....

Ufer made homer announcers like Larry Munson and Gene Deckerhoff sound impartial.

GOOSEBUMPS. OMG.

I was there as a sophomore - it was epic!

GREATEST PLAY OF ALL TIMES! 💛 💙

I sat in an end zone seat on the side of the field where Carter scored. It was the most amazing touchdown I personally witnessed, partly because the clock had already run out before Carter scored. A cocky Indiana fan sitting in front of me suddenly buried his face in his hands. I stayed in the stadium for almost an hour after the game ended because I wanted to savor the moment!

Heard that game on the radio. Ufer kept blowing the George Patton horn over & over (not the usual 2x or however many).

I LOVE IT!!!! What great memories.........

1:28 - amazed that we actually ran the ball twice in a row with so little time on the clock. Different era!

The perfect pick me up for what should have been home opener day!

"They're not even going to try the extra point. Who cares? Who gives a damn?!!!" Bob Ufer, the greatest radio announcer in the world!

I was there at the Big House in 1979 (Sec 11). AC ran that TD right towards me GO BLUE!!

I was a sophomore that year. My roommate and i had sold our end zone tickets as indiana was generally just schedule fodder. But we were in front of union and guy sold us 50 yd line tix for $5. So we went. Fans were booing mich because they were getting slammed by lowly indiana. They were swearing in the stands and many had left.....and then.....it happened. Best moment in 100 years...

Oh, to have Bob Ufer back. The way he would get all dramatic prior to a critical play then go bonkers when it worked. BTW, those old film clips sure haven't stood the test of time. Today's broadcasts are so much better.

Remember listening to this on radio with Indiana announcers. Lee Corso didn't have much luck as coach. Anthony Carter was amazing

I remember trying to get the Ann Arbor radio station, before Ufer was om WJR. I remember sitting in the car, with my dad, listening because it was the only radio that would get the game.

Announcer truly believes in the Maize and Blue! #kingcarter

I was listening to this game, on my back to school, on my car radio, the year before I transferred to Michigan..M>GOBlue

Go baby! Announce like a BOSS!

Ufer’s greatness isn’t limited to during plays.

I don't know if Anthony Carter was the best player that I ever saw, but he might have been the most exciting. Whenever he was on the field, you expected something great from him, and he rarely disappointed.

Bob ufer sounded a lot like John wayne...I lived those days in Michigan

Sorry. The only footage I have from Tom Harmon is from his Heisman season in 1940. The play Ufer is talking about is from 1939.

i remember the wife said 'lets go' with a couple minutes left...i responded that indiana was going to score again...so we stayed and saw the whole thing...i have anthony carters autograph on my ticket stub....memories....we never left early after that....

11/27/21 Ufer and Schembechler were smiling.

Help me out . Who was that other great voice for Michigan football on wjar with a raspy sound ?

Why does the damn camera man keep following that stupid airplane. You completely miss the fumble out of bounds with 6 seconds left

Who was the other great voice 760 am wjar I would listen to in western Pennsylvania area . He was great

Hard to believe beating a Indiana team would create this . Imagine Auburn or gators beating Indiana?? It would be expected

I was there I was in the student section never so saw so many people throw up at the same time , boonefarm bottle everywhere

It's possible that the rule has changed since this game was played in 1979. But on page 103 in the current rulebook under Section 2, Article 1, it says, "a player may hand or pass the ball backward at any time except to intentionally throw the ball out of bounds to conserve time." The penalty for doing so is 5 yards and loss of down if by Team A before team possession changes during a scrimmage play. It was 3rd down when LT Reed deliberately threw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock with six seconds remaining. Such penalties against the offense in the last two minutes of a quarter usually also come with a 10-second run-off on the game clock, which means the game would have ended after the play to Reid and this historic play would not have happened. The game would have ended in a 21-21 tie. As much of a fan of Michigan football as I am....and I'm over the top....Corso likely had a legitimate gripe. Sill...Ufer's call of the play is priceless.

I bought it.

This should be the standard for broadcasting sports. I think it's disrespectful to the athletes to have a spectacular play announced with the lack of emotion of watching grass grow.

What did the banner on the plane say?

I LOVE BOB UFER

I would PAY to be able to watch these games!!

Remember when beating Indiana was the end all of B10 triumphs?! Yeah, I don’t… but this game call from Ufer is incomparable.

Ralph Clayton, pride of Detroit Redford High School - RIP Grand River and Mc Nichols Aves.

How did you get a hold of this video?

ufer was a treasure. go bucks!

I will never forget tearing the goalposts down & proudly walking the streets of ann arbor for hours with the mangled pieces!!!!

Tom Harmon didn't pull the fake field goal, i don't even think he knew the fake was on. Fred Trosko was the player who pulled the fake and ran it into the end zone, a good account of the story is found in the book "The 100 Yard War."

Bob Ufer Nuff said

They wouldn't try the extra point with all those people on the field

So what was more impressive, this drive? or the drive to beat Penn State at The Big House in 2005? I can't decide

The even better play was Larry Reid 'fumbling" the ball 15 yards out of bounds into Corso waiting arms.

Compare this with Mario Impemba doing the Tigers.

Back in the day whenever goalposts were white.

These days Carter would celebrate by pantomiming fucking the football, then take an actual shit on the 50 yard line. 60% of football fans would then downvote me for suggesting that wasn't cool ("he's just having fun")

📯📯📯

Michigan football has never been the same since Bo died. It's been almost 12 years since his death, will this be the year that curse is lifted? 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I agree..Ufer was true BLUE...

Bo Schembechler says he always plays for the win i didnt come to play for a tie. A tie is a moral victory for Indiana and Corso? Speaks of how pathetically i think of Lee Corso in the world of sports. At least Bobby Knight had the option of overtime in basketball back then. The Victors are in Ann Arbor. Everywhere else is nothing in comparison.

I also remember the 79 game I think Lee did not like michigan after that and what happened the next year 1980 not so fast Lee u of m 28 iu 0 times Clifford saw nothing but defensive stars that day and also a rose Bowl win after that

'

Give IU football six seconds and they'll loose a game!

I remember this game...cheatin' ass Carter throws the ball out of bounds to stop the clock.
