just goes to show what a simple coaching change can do for a struggling program. People say its not about the X's and O's but the Jimmies and Joes but clearly X's and O's made this bunch of Jimmie's and Joe's a hell of a lot better team than they were before.
something else that ive noticed is Denards passing, you can tell he's been busting his ass i practice to work on his accuracy, now after this season he has all spring and summer to work his passing even more, next year is gon be his best year
@WolverineHistorian Based on what we had returning, I didn't think the 60's range was possible. Top 20? Are you freaking kidding? That is Assistant Coach of the Year worthy. Right after Hoke gets the Coach of the Year. I was so mad when they hired Hoke. Wanted Harbaugh or to keep RR. Now I'm glad that AD's don't listen to arm chair people like me! :) People are worried about next year when we lose some good seniors. Mattison/Hoke have my complete trust. They'll get it done for us!!!
Good to know you'e still alive :) Ohio State at home next week, this team has an opportunity to make this a truly special season if they can finish with 10 wins heading into bowl season. It would be great to see you put up highlights against the Buckeyes for a game that has happened while this channel has been up; Ndamukong Suh was at the game, hopefully it put him in a bad mood for Carolina tomorrow.
@WolverineHistorian just goes to show what a physical mentality can do for you...flag football may work in the Big Least, but not here! Words cannot describe how refreshing it is to see guys make tackles! AND we are leading the nation in FFs!
Defense and the restoration of the running game are the biggest reasons Michigan football is where is at today.Can't wait for Michigan to beat the "team from Ohio".
Thank you for taking the time to edit this, WH. One more solid defensive game, and Mattison gets Ass't Coach of the Year ... hands down. In 42 years of watching college football, I can't remember a Div I coach ever making this much of a remarkable impact on a group of players. Truly, truly impressive!
Michigan fans I have to know as a Bama fan. If someone were to tell you after MSU beating you 52-14 in the Gator Bowl last year that going into the Ohio State game you'd be 9-2, what would you say?
Robinson was the most exciting player in Michigan history... I just loved this guy.. I just hope he will get back to the NFL by playing for the AAF this year.. Good luck Robinson...
Hey WH, I know you don't have HD receiver or capture card but if you posted on Michigan sports forums or what not, I'm sure you could find someone with HD rips of these games to send you.
I can tell you the press boxes help keep the noise in. The loudest I've heard personally would the revenge tour 2018 against PSU and 11/27/21.....42-27!
@garyjblanton Agreed. If Mattison doesn't get Assistant of the Year then there is no justice in the world. I can't wait to see this team with another year under the system. Alabama better be ready because we sure will be!
WH, if I knew where you lived, I'd drive to your house and give you a hug for posting all these videos, especially this game. This was as complete a performance from Michigan I have seen since Lloyd Carr retired. Go Blue! P.S. What could top off the downfall of Ohio State than the momentum of the rivalry shifting back to Michigan? #ohiostatesucks
When I see Robinson here and in the next game against Ohio State, it really sickens me how badly he regressed under Hoke. He was such a special talent and with some decent coaching and player development could have been a Heisman winner or a national title winner. Ditto Gardner after him. Hoke: Worst Michigan coach ever...
I don't know about worst ever....but he was certainly not good. Besides Mattison he hired mediocre assistant coaches. He made several horrible game management mistakes. I will give him credit in the 2011 year the defensive line showed amazing improvement as did the team defense and gang tackling but besides that area it was rough going. What kills me is the talented players we wasted.
Yeah, ok. Maybe not worst ever, but bad. And you're right about the wasted players. The talent that he brought in and completely wasted was a tragedy. Look at what Harbaugh and his group did with roughly the same group and a benched QB from Iowa. Amazing. Crazy good coaching. I really wish Robinson and Gardner would have had that.
we finished the year at #9 in the coaches poll. I did not think that was going to happen it will be interesting to see how this year's team does especially with Hoke's recruits making their first impact this year.
17:25 Schofield blocks his dude and takes out another with his butt. Good thing Craig James wasn't broadcasting again, or he would have started talking endlessly about fannies again.
@mg5679 Last year's defense wasn't just bad, it was the absolute worst in the 100+ year history of Michigan football. Although I was happy to get Mattison back to Ann Arbor, my expectations for this years defense was an improvement to the 60's range. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect them to be in the top 20. That's why Mattison is my hero. Someone should build of statue of him outside the big house. After watching the D the last 3 years, he deserves it.
This was a "Welcome to the Big Ten" game for Nebraska.
Defense has improved a lot compared to last year. Rivals.com has the Michigan recruiting class ranked #2 for 2012.
The pitch dark bathroom was the only thing that was tough for us today as Michigan fans.

Hey RhiiRhii29 I like the part when they pulled that fake field goal. The last time they tried anything that gutsy would be like 1948....

Why are there so few of the wins from this season uploaded? Soory if this has been explained before, been out of the loop for most of the year.

@clfritz1982 To make it louder, yes. But the old press box was really getting tired as well and it needed to be replaced.
From a Husker fan. Thanks for the upload! Really wish we could have given you guys a better game. Good luck the rest of the way. GO BIG RED!
Denard was the only reason why Michigan was watchable in this horrible era of wolverine football. God bless Robinson.
There many good players in this era, but few great players. Coaching was meh...
OSU's winning streak against Michigan ends on the 26th
@WolverineHistorian next seasson the offense should be better because they will have a better feel for the system.
@TideatMileHigh That Rich Rod wasn't our coach anymore for 1...
Thank you for uploading this. Hopefully michigan can play like this for the rest of the season
Keep Mattison as your hero. Denard's definitely mine.
Hey WH, I know you don't have HD receiver or capture card but if you posted on Michigan sports forums or what not, I'm sure you could find someone with HD rips of these games to send you.
The crowd noise at the Big House was insane! Great to see that again.
It seems like Michigan Stadium is louder now than in past years!!
I can tell you the press boxes help keep the noise in. The loudest I've heard personally would the revenge tour 2018 against PSU and 11/27/21.....42-27!

that odoms td pass gave me goosebumps. I think we have a solid rb core with fitz and hopkins. Fitz has showed great strides this season
*bows to Greg Mattison* Coach of the Year! GO BLUE!
Greg Mattison - coach of the decade!
Great game to be at...crowd was standing almost every play, good to see the big house jumpin again...Go Blue!
@TideatMileHigh with rich rod at the helm? no f-ing way. but the old ways are coming back. see you next season! go blue
I have not seen Michigan play like this since 2006! I'm speechless right now Go Blue BEAT THE FUCKEYES!
i can't even imagine what Denard and Devin would've done under Harbaugh
fitz685 can't wait to see what he does with Joe Milton.
Maybe Scott Frost should have begged again, this time for the beating to stop.

martinez was half right about our losing to moo u - it wasn't the wind - it was the *smell*
729 days since ohio beat michigan.
I don't think I've ever experience a broadcaster who actually understood the nature of "roughing the kicker."
we finished the year at #9 in the coaches poll. I did not think that was going to happen it will be interesting to see how this year's team does especially with Hoke's recruits making their first impact this year.
I was there
Sec 18 row 58 seat 14
Welcomed nebraska to the big ten that game what a welcomed ass whooping
This game was played on my birthday! What a present :) GO BIG BLUE!!!
Just 17 hours from kickoff.
Does anyone else love seeing a ground attack by someone not named Denard? Fitz FTW!
@wolverinehistorian man that description is bad juju now
Love seeing Nebraska get wrecked...I hope to see it a 3rd time on Black Friday.

Great game. One of the classics.
Welcome to the Big 10
Oh god, Urban Meyer is in the booth. He probably already knew he was going to OSU.
Maybe? Definitely.
thanks for the upload!
Too easy ! Go Blue.
The same defensive players as last year. It amazing what happens when you actually couch them.
@area51lover That's close to my season tickets. sec. 19 row 69
thanks for the quick upload :)
This game was so fucking fun to watch.
This commenting crew is so biased in Michigan games. I hate them so much. Too much ohio to call a Michigan game.
Go Blue!
2 words: Greg. Mattison.
Sorry*
I would have said revenge for 2005, too...
thx for the video
Hoke uber alles.
Revenge for 1997
