5. A great night topped off by a record-breaking touchdown (11:17 4Q)

In truly one of the most special moments in recent memory for the Michigan football team, Hassan Haskins broke a record, not even Mike Hart could break, the single-season rushing touchdown record.

Previously held by Ron Johnson set in 1968, Haskins was able to break this 53-year-old record mainly in part due to his sheer domination in the Ohio State game. It simply does not get better than that to see a player who has worked so hard finally get the national credit he deserves.

Congratulations to Hassan Haskins on immortalizing yourself in the Michigan history books not once, but twice in back-to-back weeks. Truly a special moment for everyone who witnessed it.

On a side note, did you see that grab by Schoonmaker? That catch was only beat out by Haskins breaking the record, but I felt like noting what a fantastic play he made, which put Haskins in the position to break the record.
