- This is a home movie version from the press box of the final drive of the 1979 Indiana game where Anthony Carter caught the game winner from John Wangler. The picture quality is medicore, it's chopped up pretty bad but this is still classic footage from one of the most classic finishes in Michigan football history.
We use to turn the volume down on the t.v. and turn up Ufer's broadcast from the radio. He was awesome.
Me too.
My dad & I did the same.
We did too
How could you watch this game on tv because it wasn't broadcasted and I remember it well. I was scrambling to find out where the game will be shown but there was no zero nada MI-IN game on the boob tube.
LOL....I never caught that before. Ufer says "the hole that Yost dug".....a play on the House that Rockne built at ND. Damn that is funny!
Back in the day whenever goalposts were white.
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.
Go Blue. I wonder if I was near you. The End zone as it curves around. Do u remember everybody's feet came off the ground.
I have seen this 200+ times and I still get excited. Love ya AC
You get excited winning a game by cheating? Michigan fumbled the ball out of bounds on purpose to stop the clock, allowing 1 more play. This SEC fan remembers that game.
@@jky3889 "Cheating" says SEC fan?? Jobs for parents, under the table cash to players, prostitutes for recruits... Yeah, tell us all about how offended you are by cheating :)
Yeah man. I smile involuntarily every time and I was there in the stands with my Uncle and little brother. I will never forget it as long as I live. What excellence you will never find the likes of. I was there and every human body packed on those seats that had feet, they came up at least 12 inches. Sheer unparalleled excellence
Anthony Carter the greatest college receiver ever
Hardly.
Yep
He’s up there. Tremendous player
"Welcome home from Bob Ufer WJR 76"
This was a homecoming game.
"they aren't even gonna try the extra point..who gives a damn"
haha classic
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.
Plus this was before there was overtime so if the didn’t score it ends in a tie.
Michigan cheated to win this game by fumbling the ball out of bounds on purpose to stop the clock.
@@jky3889 so
Bo doesnt believe in ties. i think overtime in college football has totally destroyed the game
Not illegal
Ufer best play by play man ever
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.
I was there too Section 39 Row 73. We would listen to our radios. Ufer was the best.
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.
Ufer made homer announcers like Larry Munson and Gene Deckerhoff sound impartial.
That's why us Michigan fans loved him, but he always gave credit to the other team too.
The greatest announcer of all time.
Without a doubt Ufer was the best. There were even records of his calls produced and sold!
All these years later and I still miss Bob Ufer. How we miss those who brought us happy memories!
I'm a diehard Buckeye fan, Northwest Ohio born and raised, BUT, mom always had the kitchen radio tuned to WJR when I was a kid. She was a college football fan and WJR was the station that tuned in best. I'll NEVER forget Bob Ufer or his horn! He was a proud fan of his Maize n Blue and wasn't afraid to show it. That's ok in my book. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see or hear another play by play announcer like him. Since I was born in September 1968, there has to be a law somewhere that requires me to be a Tiger fan and I used to fall asleep listening to Earnie n Paul on my bedroom radio. My favorite Harwell saying to this day is "He stood there like a house by the side of the road and watched that one go by! Ahhhh... to be young and carefree again lol!
Right on. The greats. Made life so excellent and cherished.
I was driving west on 94 by Ypsilanti when this happened, I'll 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!
Why does the damn camera man keep following that stupid airplane. You completely miss the fumble out of bounds with 6 seconds left
Announcer truly believes in the Maize and Blue! #kingcarter
I was there. Best game of all time. So exciting and the excellence you spend your life looking for.
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.
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
Bob under your one of a kind you and Ernie harwell own the wolverine state in sports broadcasting rip Bob and Ernie
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.
My very first game in the Big House....
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.
Never tire of watching this. I WAS THERE. 1979. I will never forget it as long as I live.
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.
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.
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")
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.
Bob ufer sounded a lot like John wayne...I lived those days in Michigan
"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 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...
They wouldn't try the extra point with all those people on the field
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.
My favorite animal is the wolverine. Extremely misunderstood.
Heard that game on the radio. Ufer kept blowing the George Patton horn over & over (not the usual 2x or however many).
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
Hard to believe beating a Indiana team would create this . Imagine Auburn or gators beating Indiana?? It would be expected
Help me out . Who was that other great voice for Michigan football on wjar with a raspy sound ?
Who was the other great voice 760 am wjar I would listen to in western Pennsylvania area . He was great
1:28 - amazed that we actually ran the ball twice in a row with so little time on the clock. Different era!
I was there I was in the student section never so saw so many people throw up at the same time , boonefarm bottle everywhere
11/27/21 Ufer and Schembechler were smiling.
I bought it.
I was there at the Big House in 1979 (Sec 11). AC ran that TD right towards me GO BLUE!!
I was in section 19 that day. He ran past us.
GREATEST PLAY OF ALL TIMES! 💛 💙
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.
Even though I am a Guts and Glue & a Maize and Blue, I feel for Lee Corso as he thinks he got screwed by the officiating crew.
I was at this game! Sitting in the south end zone with my dad and a friend. Never forget it.
I was there, in the north end zone with the students. I remember you---you were that guy waving and cheering.
GOOSEBUMPS. OMG.
I was there as a sophomore - it was epic!
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.
Remember when beating Indiana was the end all of B10 triumphs?! Yeah, I don’t… but this game call from Ufer is incomparable.
I agree..Ufer was true BLUE...
Remember listening to this on radio with Indiana announcers. Lee Corso didn't have much luck as coach. Anthony Carter was amazing
I LOVE BOB UFER
I LOVE IT!!!! What great memories.........
I was listening to this game, on my back to school, on my car radio, the year before I transferred to Michigan..M>GOBlue
Ufer’s greatness isn’t limited to during plays.

📯📯📯
Compare this with Mario Impemba doing the Tigers.
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."
The perfect pick me up for what should have been home opener day!
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!
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....
So what was more impressive, this drive? or the drive to beat Penn State at The Big House in 2005? I can't decide
I would PAY to be able to watch these games!!
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.
i believe he was the best he got us our first rose bowl win three time all american without a doubt he was the greatest receiver how couldnt we deny it of weve had so many great players at Michigan. he gave the michigan panthers the only football championship in detroit weve had cause the lions never win when the usfl existed. michigan was a threat to win every time he suited up in the maize and blue. he should have won the heismann but the college world was loaded with great running backs
Go baby! Announce like a BOSS!
How did you get a hold of this video?
Bob Ufer Nuff said
ufer was a treasure. go bucks!
What did the banner on the plane say?
The even better play was Larry Reid 'fumbling" the ball 15 yards out of bounds into Corso waiting arms.
That is why ncaa changed that rule and to be honest with you, he blatantly threw that ball out of bounds. Don't get me wrong because
I am a guts and glue & a Maize and Blue diehard. Reason I say this is because I officiate HS and community college FB and yes he did purposely made Lee Corse all arouse. But it is what it is.
@@richardkim1827 Of course I know it was "on purpose" and the subsequent rule change. The fact that he tossed it directly to Corso was what made it hilarious.
Give IU football six seconds and they'll loose a game!
As an IU alum and lifelong Hoosiers fan, truer words have never been spoken. At least we got to the 2020 Gator Bowl, which of course we blew in the final minute.
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? 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Karl Reichert I plan on heading to Bo’s Grave this Ohio State Eve and leaving flowers. Anything for a little luck
The curse is indeed lifted!
I will never forget tearing the goalposts down & proudly walking the streets of ann arbor for hours with the mangled pieces!!!!
It was you! I remember walking home, and there were these guys with a goal post piece. You were singing or chanting if I remember.
I got my own piece a few years before.
"November 22nd, 1969 saw the #1 ranked Buckeyes take on the #12 Wolverines. Dreams of a second straight national title came crashing down for Ohio State as Michigan pulled off the 24-12 upset."
Even better, my dad was in the stands with me. A great memory!
Ralph Clayton, pride of Detroit Redford High School - RIP Grand River and Mc Nichols Aves.
Dee Donner Ramone Grand River and mc Nichols is still there...Redford high school is gone.
I remember this game...cheatin' ass Carter throws the ball out of bounds to stop the clock.
It wasn’t Carter who threw it ou of bounds.
It was Larry Reid who was the guilty person.
