This was my favorite year of Michigan football. I was only 10 years old but my dad bought season tickets for the first time in my life and we went to every home game. Our seats were near the Student section and I remember so vividly them chanting "We want the Buckeyes" in the fourth, truly an electric year and probs one of our better seasons.
HUSKER FAN HERE... just wanna say that you gotta feel sorry for lavonte david. the guy does everything to try and help his team win. he had SEVENTEEN tackles but then his own teams offense screws him by fumbling the ball like 15 fuckin times. whatever whats done is done. congrats michigan, good luck next year. hopefully we dont get blown out again next year...
We should probably get used to sour grapes like Dantonio and Pelini now that we're likely to start beating them consistently. As much as I feel Rich Rod got a raw deal, it seems like the rest of the Big Ten was enjoying being able to beat us a little too much.
Yea that kick was made at 2:00 But Matt Wile once made a 63 yard field goal...in high school! When he starts being field goal kicker, then we are guaranteed 3 points almost every time we get past the 40 Anyway...BEAT OHIO! GO BLUE!
Was it just me, or were the announcers very hard on Denard. The whole game, Urban Meyer kept bashing Denard's passing and how he has not been running as well. The reason that Denard is not putting up the rushing numbers from last year is because the defenses have had time to prepare for him by using spies and such. But Denard is Denard and is still putting up VERY good numbers. Go blue!
@parkinggod actually the rules say that an injured player has to sit out for an entire series before going back in. whether he faked the injury or not i dont know...all i can say is that he didnt look hurt.
As a die hard Husker fan, it pains me to watch this. Congrats Michigan. You guys have a very talented team and an excellent game day atmosphere. At the beginning of the year I penciled this game in as a loss for my Huskers. Nebraska is a team of freshmen and sophomores. They only have 20 seniors on their 140 man roster. My young Huskers are learning some tough lessons and are a team of the future. Next year will be our year! But way to go BLUE. Congrats on a very well played game.
Man this receiving core was so good. Junior “Big Play” Hemmingway, Roy roundtree, Jeremy Gallon, Drew Dileo, and I believe funchess was on the team too but I’m not sure
Wow, this D is so fun to watch again!. Think about when Jake Ryan and Desmond Morgan become Jr's and SR's and with the 2012 class hopefully shaping up to be the best Michigan has had in a while. Look out Michigan will be a force again! Yuri Wright, Shaq Thompson, Stefon Diggs, and Bri'onte Dunn come be part of something that is destined to be GREAT! GO BLUE...
@spiderdragon1969 Complain all you want about the officiating, after the 2005 Alamo Bowl Michigan was owed big time. That game was so bad the announcers were commenting on it.
@TheZooCrew Exactly, some of these color commentators are so adamant with the things they say, but yet half the times they aren't even true. Denard proved them wrong though.
@TheZooCrew If you think the Michigan receiver didn't push off then you are as blind as the refs were that day. A ref has the discretion of whether or not to throw a flag on a roughing the kicker play that did not involve any physical contact. The roughing the kicker call was clearly a bad call. Again, I notice that the roughing penalty was conveniently left out of this video. That speaks volumes.
@spiderdragon1969 if you call a push off, then there is a defensive pass interference as well, and the punt, well, just like every punter in college (including nebraskas) and in the NFL, thats what they are taught to do when they are touched, get over it
@playerricky4 Meyer was kind of a dick during the entire game, and it was almost funny...after the interception, he went off on how Denard can't pass worth a crap (this is the guy who worshiped Tebow, herp derp). Meanwhile, Denard's busy driving down the field and getting a touchdown. Bahaha.
By the way, not to be a complainer but the officiating in this game was atrocious! The Mich wr clearly pushed off at the :30 spot of the video. And the roughing the kicker penalty, which you conveniently left out, was so bad that Nebraska sent the video of that to the Big Ten office to be reviewed. It's bad enough Michigan totally outplayed my Huskers. We didn't need the refs to be blind and biased.
@tbraasch lol dude it didn't matter if michigan faked an injury or not.. Nebraska is a bad football team.. Martinez blows as a QB.. He has such a poor throwing motion he will never be any kind of a threat against teams with a decent D. He throws like someone who has never thrown a football before.
@tbraasch ...and the other guy who 'faked' an injury (Brennen Beyer)? He did such a good job faking it that he missed the Ohio game too. Now *that's* dedication to method acting.
didnt get to watch this game because i was at work but looking at these highlights it looks like special teams killed nebraska. poor fundamentals in not protecting the football. GO BLUE!!
What was Urban Meyer doing on the colour commentator team ? I thought he was dealing with " serious health issues " atbthis particular time. That's why he had to step down in Gainesville. Fast forward to 2019 where, he pulled the exact same stunt in Columbus. Then fast forward to Jacksonville. Yikes ! What a lousy human being!
@spiderdragon1969 The officiating was atrocious, but both of your examples are bullshit. Roundtree didn't push off...he and Dennard were both looking for the ball and collided. That's called incidental contact. Dennard just fell down. This is obvious from any angle. Roughing the kicker involves touching any part of either of the punter's legs if you don't hit the ball. Refs have called that consistently for years and years. Nebraska just can't read the rules, apparently.
@spiderdragon1969 Why would a penalty be considered a Michigan highlight? No contact? Are you blind or just willfully ignorant? Watch the plant foot at 18:45. /watch?v=q1tsiKmh7wM&t=18m45s That is automatic.
lol dude, you do realize the only reason you beat Michigan in '12 and Ohio in '11 was because both starting QB's got hurt right?? give me a break, your at best, the 3rd best team in the B1G
@tbraasch Yeah. Our best secondary player sat out AN ENTIRE SERIES GETTING TREATMENT ON THE SIDELINE just to give the rest of the D a breather for one play. In a game where they only allowed 17 points. Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?
@TheZooCrew (cont.) a husker fan for stating his opinion. and then you attack pelini for expressing his thoughts about the matter as well. but i'll just have to assume or at least hope that you dont represent the majority of the michigan fan base with your asinine, hypocritical and irrational method of discussing a minor topic.
Nebraska fans stop crying. Michigan had more yards which including 230+ rush yards, won the turnover battle (+2), won time of position, made more first downs (24-11), were better on third down conversions, and just out played Nebraska. There were some bad calls, but Michigan outplayed Nebraska in all phases of the game. Move on and stop bitching.
