I do love that we're debating a game that happened 13 years ago. Corona times is good times for the MMB.

Re: Michigan game rewatch
At some point I wold like to discuss the JMU playoff game later that year. Another exciting ending to say the least and allowed the Michigan to mean that much more to me.

Re: Michigan game rewatch
I'll say one last thing..we were the better team (especially without them having Hart) that day and most of the rest of the season. We won fair and square. Nothing fluke about it..at least no more than what kept THEM in the game. They were fortunate we didn't beat them by a greater margin.

Hey, this is YC, of course we are going off on a thousand side-trips. It is why this board is so fun to read and stays so active compared to other message boards for other schools.

Re: Michigan game rewatch
That Michigan team had Top 10 talent in the country. Manningham, Henne, Hart, Jake Long, Crable, etc.
Michigan went 9-4 that season. Got boatraced the following week by Dennis Dixon's Oregon team (who was the No. 1 team in the country until he got hurt) and lost at Wisconsin, but still would have gone to the Rose Bowl had they beat Ohio State at home in the final game.
Michigan still went on to upset Tebow and Florida in the Citrus Bowl and finished No. 18 in the AP Poll. They were pretty darn good and probably would have been Top 10 had they beaten us.

Re: Michigan game rewatch
Jerry had brought that up numerous times over the years. According to the participation count, it's not true as I believe between 40-50 App players saw the field.
What I think Jerry meant was offensive and defensively, there were only 27 different players in the regular rotations. Corey Lynch played every defensive and special teams snap.

Re: Michigan game rewatch
App wasn’t the best team they could be either. Plenty of mistakes by both teams as App lost the turnover battle. It took a freshman and future NFL WR (Quick) dropping a wide open TD and a missed FG to put UM in position to even have a chance at the end. Those “high ass” Wolverine players were lucky it wasn’t worse, our Mountaineers should’ve won by more that day!AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:39 amI didn’t say that we didn’t deserve to win. Fluke, upset, whatever you want to call it is fine. I agree with your comments. We were the better team for the better part of 60 minutes. My point is that even the fact that we were the best team App could be that day, it still took a blocked kick of a makeable FG to preserve the win.
Call it what you want but Michigan failed schematically on defense and special teams. They were not ready to defend the spread that day or the next week. Hence the firing of Carr following the season and the hiring of Rich Rod.
I know everyone looks to the blocked FG as the defining moment but for me, outside of the last game winning FG drive, the last series of the 1st half where we ran the ball 8-9 plays in a row resulting in a TD showed me we could walk out of the Big House victorious.
The sound of silence from 100k fans never sounded so sweet!!!

Re: Michigan game rewatch
As best I can tell these are the players on the Michigan roster in 2007 who were drafted -
Manningham
Arrington
Hart
Crable
Long
Henne
Trent
Taylor
Brown
Mesko
Graham
Schilling
Mouton
Hemingway
Molk
Martin
AND Ryan Mallett
These guys were drafted and I am sure others signed UDFA
