5.)Pandamonium after a long-awaited post-thanksgiving victory (1:05 4Q)

Michigan had taken a two-score lead and everything was unraveling for a nervous Ryan Day. Questions started spinning in everyone’s heads if this was the team to take down the Buckeyes?

The Buckeyes had been to and won the last four Big Ten Championships, Ryan Day had yet to lose to a Big Ten Opponent, Harbaugh had yet to beat Ohio State, Michigan had not beaten them since 2011 — the list goes on and on.

"“From the 33, Stroud, Scrambling, Stroud, Looking just fires it, caught but not enough! Olave with the grab and Ohio State will turn it over on downs. 58 Seconds remaining!” – Gus Johnson"

Now, they have done it, a memory that will live with almost every Michigan football fan till the day they die. Jim Harbaugh really did it and the Michigan Wolverines would be heading to Indianapolis.

The fans rushing the field, the players celebrating, the Buckeye fans bitter — it was a recipe for one of the greatest afternoons in Michigan football history, period.

It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
