I, a huge Michigan fan for 42 years, was in a coma when this game was played. Clinging to life in the ICU. I survived that huge challenge and was so thrilled to be able to watch this game 6 weeks later. It spurred me on to an even greater recovery. Go, Blue!. And thank you, boys.
Cool story. Ironically, a month before this game I was in a coma from a brain injury and was just out of the hospital. I thought the end of this game would give me a heart attack. I collapsed on the floor and then cried, happy to be alive. True story. I hope you are better.
No matter team you are a fan of you gotta admit that thundering crowd at 12:22-12:52 is friggin awesome. This is why I love College Football, you do not see this kind of excitement or spirit in the NFL. Go Blue!!
Nicholas Kozak Agree why college is better because of upsets , tradition, rivalrys, hate towards one another teams, NFL has none of it really, makes College football so Great.
8 years later and this still gives me chills and makes my eyes water. Most amazing atmosphere I've ever experienced in the Big House. And I've been to tons of games! The stadium was still jam packed an hour after the game ended!
Rodney towles I was at this game in the Michigan end zone. It was THE most electrifying game that I ever saw or will see. When my son’s and I left the stadium after celebrating for an hour after the game I told them that this was a 100 year game. A game they will never forget. GO BLUE! 〽️
I remember so vividly watching this game on TV and going wild running throughout the house when they won hahaha...definitely on my list of top 10 Michigan games ever
I keep coming back to this. Most exciting moment of all my years watching Michigan Football. They are playing OSU right now and it looks good. I can’t stand to watch it makes me so nervous but I believe in them.
DetroitLionsFan DR is ahead of his time. What he did will set an example for all future players. We adore you O Denard and we praise you, because by your holy untied shoes you have saved the world. Just kidding. But seriously....
I'll never forget this game. I came home late after work, turned it on and thought Michigan was done for. Then everything changed and it was one of the most exciting games I've ever watched. Made me deeply miss my home town of A2!
I'll likely never see a better game in person in my lifetime than this one. 2013 vs ND under the lights was a great one, too...but this one was in a league of its own.
jtg1124 guess what, harbaugh is back, with some of the best assistant coaches in the country. Michigan is going to be on the radar again in about a year.
Denard could have been an excellent QB if he had good mechanics. 95% of his throws were made either off balance or on the run. He had the arm strength before the injury yet could never lose the happy feet. If he had been able to be more accurate, it might have saved the arm from the nerve injury and maybe just maybe could have played under center in the NFL. Kudos to him for making it work at RB.
I was with my two boys 13 and 11 at a soccer tournament in South Bend the day this game was played. We were in a hotel room watching the game. I could never get comfortable with Denard’s insane, risky style of offense. I threw the remote at the TV with like 4:00 left in the game when Norte Dame scored to go ahead. I was pissed that I would have to see beaming ND parents all happy the next day. I was grinding my teeth trying to fall asleep. We didn’t find out until the next morning that Michigan had performed a miracle.
UM's all american QB Denard Robinson in just 2 "official" Games vs Nd in his career (3-0 overall) had GET THIS over 900 yards of total offense vs hapless ND in back to back victories for UM in 2010 and this game in 2011 that will live in college lore ETERNALLY. It is BY FAR the most dominating back to back display vs ND by a single opponent player in history. Robinson also threw 4 TD passes in this game while rushing for well over 100 yards! ND fanatics still have nightmares over this game. The ND chokers were leading 24-7 IN THE 4th Quarter and still choked the game away. Glorious!
this will go down as one of my favorite michigan games ever, as well as henne to manningham against psu, and this year's win over osu, and so many more games to choose from. i love wolverines football
Fun fact I watched this live when I was a kid, years later I went to a Michigan camp and met Roy rountree and got a picture with him, crazy meeting the person who made you just and scream in your living room when you were 8
thank you. but we are still gonna kick their ass in my mind. but who knows they might make it close or even win. but we will all find out come september 1st. this is one of the most hyped up games of the season i've ever seen.
I absolutely Love It! And I love the comment by Brent Mussberger at 10:20 on this vidoe "Let me go back I said Denard Robinson is one of the most exciting players in college football; He is The Most Exciting Player in college Football!" GO BLUE ♥
as a Notre Dame fan watching this game, I will always hate Michigan I was incredibly pissed at the end of the game but I give them props for winning this game and knowing the Notre Dame v. Michigan rivalry, I knew that this would be one of the top games that these two would play in against each other and especially being the very first game to ever be played in The Big House at night under the lights! The rivalry between these two teams is becoming more and more of a rivalry every year.
When they starting crowd 7 nation army I don’t know why whole my body got goosebumps everywhere. Maybe they make me excited with them. Go blue let’s go 2018
I just rewatched the 2010 game against ND in South Bend where Denard had over 500 total yards. Granted he was never a fantastic passer, but I always thought he was a bit underrated in that department. Nonetheless, the improvement he made between 2010 and 2011 as a passer was incredible and his touch on passes during these final drives showed that growth. Quarantine observations. GO BLUE!
That was the most amazing game I have ever watched. I was so happy when Smith scored then so sad when ND scored and then went crazy when we scored to win the game GO BLUE!!!
I am from the home town of the Harbaugh boys, my great aunt graduated with Jim. While he is intense and an amazing coach he is a small town boy with the love of a sport!!!
This was the most insane UM game I've ever watched. The longest drive of the day? 4 plays. I was so sorry to see Reece graduate. Who ever thought to hand out pom poms to the crowd is an MVP.
How he did at the combine doesn't matter as much as what he did in his career. I'm not saying that he set the world on fire at WR, but he was good enough to have a 9 year NFL career, and was an All-Pro in 2005. A lot of players entering the pros would be real happy with that.
He was exciting and all... But if he hadn't thrown 3 picks in this game we probably wouldn't have this video or being making these comments at all. But I guess compared to Michigan have had lately it would be alright to have him again. lol.
Finally, this thread has transformed into a true Univ of Michigan thread with intelligent dialogue & discussion of football history. I didn't know that Michigan was originally a Jesuit school & taught Notre Dame how to play football. That's interesting. I just looked it up. That feud between Fielding Yost & Knute Rockne is epic. ND's very first game in history was with Michigan in 1887. Of course, Michigan won. Michigan is ND's only rival with a winning record over the Irish.
The all-time most winning football program means that Michigan has won more football games than any other program and has the best all-time winning percentage of all football programs.
ravi needs to pipe down. Yes we are optimistic having Harbaugh, but to start talking trash (quite poorly may I add) makes Michigan fans look bad. Wait for Michigan to win a B1G title or at least beat MSU or OSU before you spout your garbage. I am super psyched that Kelly announced the UM/ND game will be played again "as soon as possible". Go Blue!
Within the last 15 seasons, Michigan has won a national championship; scored a BIG BCS bowl win over SEC Champion, Alabama; scored a BIG bowl upset win over a Heisman winning Tim Tebow led, top 10 Florida team. Michigan is 2-1 against Bama, 2-0 against Florida, and 20-6-1 against the SEC overall. If Bama beats Michigan in Dallas, it can only even its record with Michigan. Bama should win but must also still live with the stigma that Gomer Pyle is its brightest & most distinguished alum. LOL
Michigan needs to acknowledge its Jesuit roots. Father Gabriel Richard is the true founder of the Univ of Michigan. He was the chief architect of the curriculum at the original college & the chief educatonal authority in the Territory at that time. The university or catholepistemiad was his vision. Although, legally, Michigan was called the University of Michigania, it was also called the Catholepistemiad of Detroit thanks to Father Richard. Most of the original faculty were clergymen as well.
All Michigan has is history so I hope you maize & blue fans embrace every moment of it. 1 Split title since world war II says so much. But hey,it's so great to be up there with the Yale and everything.
I, a huge Michigan fan for 42 years, was in a coma when this game was played. Clinging to life in the ICU. I survived that huge challenge and was so thrilled to be able to watch this game 6 weeks later. It spurred me on to an even greater recovery. Go, Blue!. And thank you, boys.

@@Macattack11639 I am glad you are still with us. I hope life is treating you well
Wow. Go Blue forever
You're serious??
No matter team you are a fan of you gotta admit that thundering crowd at 12:22-12:52 is friggin awesome. This is why I love College Football, you do not see this kind of excitement or spirit in the NFL. Go Blue!!
As a Badger fan, I gotta say I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching that.
Nicholas Kozak Agree why college is better because of upsets , tradition, rivalrys, hate towards one another teams, NFL has none of it really, makes College football so Great.
GO GREEN
Especially as a Michigan fan, it gives me goosebumps
mike flips get out pls ur just jealous
8 years later and this still gives me chills and makes my eyes water. Most amazing atmosphere I've ever experienced in the Big House. And I've been to tons of games! The stadium was still jam packed an hour after the game ended!

I still have the yellow pom poms.
One of the best games EVER
Shoelace is one of the most exciting college players ive ever seen..his heart was ridiculous
Bach
AstroKnott Alabama loved shoelace. !!!
He was Lamar Jackson before Lamar Jackson
He wasn’t the greatest QB, but overall athletic-wise one of the Michigan greats
Too bad it never translated into the pros he was very excited to watch. Always wondered what if he was drafted into a team that was not horrible
I remember so vividly watching this game on TV and going wild running throughout the house when they won hahaha...definitely on my list of top 10 Michigan games ever
Did you watch Michigan/Army today?
WW III We played like garbage.
Right up there when y’all played App State 😏
This was probably the coolest football game I will ever attend
I keep coming back to this. Most exciting moment of all my years watching Michigan Football. They are playing OSU right now and it looks good. I can’t stand to watch it makes me so nervous but I believe in them.
Well, we did it!
@@notabotta3901 Three times the charm.
I loved denard met him at youth day one of the nicest guys I've ever met this game was so fun my son and I 1st night game Go Blue!!!!!
It's crazy when you think about it Denard Robinson is now a starting RB for a NFL team.
How is that crazy
Deonte Long It is because you usually don't go from QB to HB.
DetroitLionsFan DR is ahead of his time. What he did will set an example for all future players. We adore you O Denard and we praise you, because by your holy untied shoes you have saved the world. Just kidding. But seriously....
I watch the Jags (I live in FL three TV games on Sunday; three Florida teams) but just to watch Denard
Dagger Dick has he ever thrown a pass in the nfl? One would think the jaguars would have done it at least once in a trick play
I'll never forget this game. I came home late after work, turned it on and thought Michigan was done for. Then everything changed and it was one of the most exciting games I've ever watched. Made me deeply miss my home town of A2!
"Fires down field, wide open's Gallon!! They left him alone!!!" love it.
Those jerseys Michigan wore in that game...I'm wearing one right now, #16 jersey.
I own one too.
"How big is this stadium?"
The entire population of South Bend Indiana couldn't fill every seat.
Sits over 111,000
Why would everybody from South Bend go to Ann Arbor ?
I think the record is 115,112
I'll likely never see a better game in person in my lifetime than this one. 2013 vs ND under the lights was a great one, too...but this one was in a league of its own.
Michigan is the better school in all aspects. NO DOUBT!
Are people actually this dumb?
Yes there talent kept the last meeting close 31-0 very good coaching

***** meanwhile im at osu chillin with the trophy
Being a Michigan fan and seeing this game... Words cannot describe!!
Who watching this getting pumped for Saturday (Oct 26th 2019) night?!? Lets get it. GO BLUE!!!
Saw this game on TV. I had an early morning the next day, but I was determined to see it through. What a great ball game.
WOW! This brings tears to my eyes! GO BLUE! As a Michigan man, I can ALWAYS wear my colors with pride!
I get chills everytime. I'm going to miss this rivalry after this weekend.
This game broke the shit out of my heart.... Ughh i can’t believe I even rewatched this
Been watching NFL games my entire life, but this game was the reason I started watching college football.
Tristan Smith did you not see Texas vs USC 2006 national championship?
Tristan Smith give my college football over the NFL any day . Go Irish!!!!
I'll NEVER forget this game. Go Blue!
Never. Go blue
First ever night game at Michigan Stadium? God damn.
I remember this season just when you thought it was over. Dennard was what we needed hands down after losing 7 years straight to ohio
I remember watching this live I was never more excited in my life
I cried watching this live
one of the most exciting finishes that season, hands down.
Denard could have been an excellent QB if he had good mechanics. 95% of his throws were made either off balance or on the run. He had the arm strength before the injury yet could never lose the happy feet. If he had been able to be more accurate, it might have saved the arm from the nerve injury and maybe just maybe could have played under center in the NFL. Kudos to him for making it work at RB.

Never gets old. Ever.
This makes my hair stand up every time I watch it! GO BLUE!!
this will go down as one of my favorite michigan games ever, as well as henne to manningham against psu, and this year's win over osu, and so many more games to choose from. i love wolverines football
im an ohio state fan but u gotta love a team with the determination to make a comeback and fans tht are soooooo loud... good job michigan
As a Michigan fan who lives 30 minutes away from the Golden Dome, Michigan beating ND never gets old.
Fun fact I watched this live when I was a kid, years later I went to a Michigan camp and met Roy rountree and got a picture with him, crazy meeting the person who made you just and scream in your living room when you were 8
thank you. but we are still gonna kick their ass in my mind. but who knows they might make it close or even win. but we will all find out come september 1st. this is one of the most hyped up games of the season i've ever seen.
i remember loseing my voice at home lol the only time i screamed like that was that year against ohio state when i was there
I absolutely Love It! And I love the comment by Brent Mussberger at 10:20 on this vidoe "Let me go back I said Denard Robinson is one of the most exciting players in college football; He is The Most Exciting Player in college Football!" GO BLUE ♥

Robinson was most exciting player Michigan has ever had in my opinion. I just love to watch him play Michigan QB..
When they starting crowd 7 nation army I don’t know why whole my body got goosebumps everywhere. Maybe they make me excited with them. Go blue let’s go 2018
I always felt bad for number 4 on Notre Dame.
Yeah i agree I always feel bad for the players and coaches when this happens. Must be an awful feeling.
Huge Ohio State fan, but I love what Michigan did at the end of this game. let's see The Game under the lights here soon!
Excitement followed by depression followed by Pure Awesomeness!!!
I just rewatched the 2010 game against ND in South Bend where Denard had over 500 total yards.

I dont care for either team and this still gives me chills. Its a shame we wont be seeing this any more.
imagine if Harbaugh coached while we had Denard...
I am from the home town of the Harbaugh boys, my great aunt graduated with Jim. While he is intense and an amazing coach he is a small town boy with the love of a sport!!!
Harbaugh would just make him throw checkdowns
Julie Hershberger very cute story
Throwbacks. College Gameday. Rivalry. UM first night game. Comeback victory. Last second Game winning TD.The real game of the century
Saw this LIVE and STILL the most exciting Wolverines victory in my known world! Oh and the final play was hilarious af🤣😅
I am a Michigan fan and I would have to say this was a great game👌👌
They are both storied programs. And this is gonna be one helluva game.
I had to watch this, getting pumped up for tonight.
my neighbor is a fan of notre dame. silent, upset, then screaming for joy, then cursing for his life i laughed so hard.
Has to be one of the best games in Michigan history.
that has to be the best atmosphere at a college football game EVER.
This was the most insane UM game I've ever watched. The longest drive of the day? 4 plays. I was so sorry to see Reece graduate. Who ever thought to hand out pom poms to the crowd is an MVP.
Probably the best 4th quarter and best final 2 minutes I've ever seen, and I'm not even a fan of either school.
How he did at the combine doesn't matter as much as what he did in his career. I'm not saying that he set the world on fire at WR, but he was good enough to have a 9 year NFL career, and was an All-Pro in 2005. A lot of players entering the pros would be real happy with that.
My gosh look at the yellow! Gotta love Michigan stadium!!
I miss denard :(
He was for sure a gamer but he was too short for the position as he had to jump up to see over the line.
Denard Robinson was like an extra running back like wishbone offense quarterback
He was exciting and all... But if he hadn't thrown 3 picks in this game we probably wouldn't have this video or being making these comments at all. But I guess compared to Michigan have had lately it would be alright to have him again. lol.
I was at this game. Go Blue
Watching this to pump up for tomorrow night. GO BLUE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST GAME I've ever seen!
By far THE best game in this rivalry's history! Go Blue!
God..the best college game ive ever seen. Go blue!!
Man this was a good memory😏😅😅 this was on my favorite year to😏😏
I was there. So heartbreaking. Denard won that game for Mich. Great job.
i was in the second row behind the ND bench at like the 40 yard line. first game in the Big House and it was a memorable one! GO BLUE
best game I've been to
As a Notre Dame fan, I should've known a 24-7 lead in the 4th could be blown so easily.
the buckeye says just kick the field goal .
Best game I've ever seen in my life
The all-time most winning football program means that Michigan has won more football games than any other program and has the best all-time winning percentage of all football programs.
Holy crap they did an amazing job coming back like that. That's a lot coming from a buckeye fan
this would have been a great game if had just ended at 1:12 when Michigan scored. Those last two TD's are insanity.
Still gets me pumped! # GOBLUE
Greatest game I've ever seen. GO BLUE
"let me go back, i said denard robinson was one of the most exciting players in college football...he IS the most exciting player in college football"
you wanna know how the end of a game is great? when the last 2 minutes take 20 minutes to finish. then you know that you have something special.
Notre Dumb had to cancel their series after beating a 5-7 Michigan team, for in fear they would have to play against Harbaugh's guys. Wusses.
Michigan is already better than FSU, and not too far behind Clemson. You are still wusses for dropping UM.
Actually by 2019 they are bringing back the rivalry
ravi needs to pipe down. Yes we are optimistic having Harbaugh, but to start talking trash (quite poorly may I add) makes Michigan fans look bad. Wait for Michigan to win a B1G title or at least beat MSU or OSU before you spout your garbage. I am super psyched that Kelly announced the UM/ND game will be played again "as soon as possible". Go Blue!
Look at Michgain now and FSU got embarrassed and Clemson has struggled if Michgain beats Wisconsin that's huge
How fucking stupid are you? Michigan was off the schedule years before Michigan hired Harbaugh.
I miss that game soo much
Within the last 15 seasons, Michigan has won a national championship; scored a BIG BCS bowl win over SEC Champion, Alabama; scored a BIG bowl upset win over a Heisman winning Tim Tebow led, top 10 Florida team. Michigan is 2-1 against Bama, 2-0 against Florida, and 20-6-1 against the SEC overall. If Bama beats Michigan in Dallas, it can only even its record with Michigan. Bama should win but must also still live with the stigma that Gomer Pyle is its brightest & most distinguished alum. LOL
This still gives me chills. GO BLUE!
The Michigan Vs Notre Dame games broke Notre Dame as a top-tier program.
Wow! The maze in blue will be a-mazin' you!
Roundtree and gallon were a great set of receivers.
I had never had my heart broken and then put back together so many times in one night
I really think those fans would have rocked the foundation of that ancient stadium had Michigan scored ANOTHER touchdown off the kickoff fumble.
At 12:20 I think stuff like that makes college better than pros, I mean just look at the student section! Incredible
There are more people in this single spot in one day than the entirity of the Roman Empires standing legion at the height of its power. Insane.
Michigan needs to acknowledge its Jesuit roots. Father Gabriel Richard is the true founder of the Univ of Michigan. He was the chief architect of the curriculum at the original college & the chief educatonal authority in the Territory at that time. The university or catholepistemiad was his vision. Although, legally, Michigan was called the University of Michigania, it was also called the Catholepistemiad of Detroit thanks to Father Richard. Most of the original faculty were clergymen as well.
Was at the game. Winning pass at 12 pm. Denard was " Captain Midnight"!
9:32 You Can Hear "In The Big House" Being Played. I Love that Song!
When they sang Dynamite I got hella nostalgia
These two commentators were doing the Texas Tech - Texas Game, where Crabtree beat texas with 8 seconds.
All Michigan has is history so I hope you maize & blue fans embrace every moment of it. 1 Split title since world war II says so much. But hey,it's so great to be up there with the Yale and everything.
