One Frame At A Time: Miami (NTM)
Thank you, Jourdan Lewis, for picking this ball off in front of the home sideline, and more specifically mere feet away from the eminantly GIF-able Will Hagerup.

HONORABLE MENTION
Allllllllllmost got him.
We've got a buttfumble of sorts.
The quintessential Frank Clark GIF: destroys his man off the edge, uses his hands beautifully, settles for a regular ol' tackle because nobody on the inside got push. The sacks will come.
Amara Darboh X-Man Catch.
#31 is a brave man with questionable, possibly life-threatening, decision-making skills.
Beyer's sack.
BUTTSNATCH.
10. All I Need Is One Cut
Miami caveats aside that is quite an impressive run. Green's second touchdown also featured an excellent cut.
9. LEAD BLOCKER MO HURST
Green's first touchdown, on the other hand, required no cuts, because Miami's defense saw LEAD BLOCKER MO HURST and collectively decided "nope."
8. DG Hits Truck Stick
NOBODY'S BLOCKING ME I WILL TELL MY GRANDKIDS ABOUT THE TIME I GOT A SACK IN THE BIG HOU--owwwwwwwwww my chest.
7. Ill-Advised Head Fake
I'm sorry, Shane. You threw two pinpoint passes that were dropped, broke free for a big gain on a scramble, and here I am GIF-ing this, because it's objectively hilarious.
6. Chuck Martin, Brian Kelly Disciple
You coached under Brian Kelly? You don't say.
5. Diving Darboh
X-Man.
4. WHY ISN'T ANYBODY PAYING ATTENTION TO ME
I guess I'll tell this comes from after the Lewis interception, but it's really best enjoyed with as little context as possible.
3. SUDDEN OUTBURST
I can't really explain why this makes me laugh so hard. Maybe it's the look of utter defeat on this coach's face even in a 10-10 game. Maybe it's the random screaming. Maybe it's the sudden snap to attention as if said screaming never occurred. Whatever it is, I'm still laughing.
2. FAKE BUTT BLOCK WIDE OPEN BUTTDOWN

FRAMES OF THE GAME: AIR JOURDAN
Not sure what's more impressive: the pick or the authoritative Roy Manning fist pump.
Right, it's the pick. (HOW DOES ONE CONTORT THEIR BODY LIKE THIS WITHOUT COMING APART AT THE SEAMS?)
And Will Hagerup's reaction, always.

...I like the guy in the blue jacket (standing next to Drake Johnson?) who never changes his expression despite everyone around him going nuts. He looks like a cardboard cutout.
September 15th, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
Pretty sure that dude is really a mannequin.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:24 PM ^
like Bo.
He's not impressed. He wants MOAR INT's!!!
September 15th, 2014 at 3:32 PM ^
I think that's Paul Schmidt, head trainer. He's seen in all.
September 15th, 2014 at 4:37 PM ^
Agreed! I was just about to make the same comment. He is the Spock of Michigan football.
September 15th, 2014 at 2:47 PM ^
that Hagerup isn't the backup kicker. Otherwise he could be the Official Andrew Dakich of the football team.
September 15th, 2014 at 2:49 PM ^
Hagerup's fist pump doesn't seem to match the excitement on his face. Reminds me of thif fist pump, but this guy knows how to do both a half-hearted fist bump and reaction: (Over Farmer Fran's right shoulder)
September 15th, 2014 at 2:57 PM ^
watch his postgame presser on youtube, he is not afraid to tell you what his team did wrong. a little different tone than hokes.
September 15th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
Doesn't say anything during press conferences...also a different tone than Hoke's.
At this point, who gives a damn man? Popavich with the Spurs has his way, Coach K doens't give halftime interviews, Hoke doesn't talk about injuries, Gundy smacks himself, etc.
Coaches are coaches, and most of them are different...if it bothers you that much, go root for a coach who gives a postgame interview the way you want. That's not what Michigan's coach does, I'm sorry, you just have to deal with it or move on.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
For eff's sake what the guys around here get away with is ridiculous. If I posted a pic of a fake butt I'd be insta-banned
September 15th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
What do you mean?
September 15th, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
I'm glad this game is over. I'm a little wore out on the "NTM" and "not that Miami" meme.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:32 PM ^
Good thing we don't have Miami (NTM) scheduled for the future.
Yet.
September 15th, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
Next time around, I propose we call them Ohio (Miami of). It will make the victory seem sweeter.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
So is that face to the hands penalty that Jake Ryan got new this year?
September 15th, 2014 at 3:22 PM ^
that, the more I'm convinced Ryan was flagged for defending himself. BS penalty.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
I am assuming Ryan used some NSFMK language.
September 15th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
That's what it seemed like, a second flag went up after they were separated.
September 15th, 2014 at 3:20 PM ^
how Coach Manning kept from dislocating his arm. Geebus.
Many great plays, voted for Buttsnatch because it was demonstrative of the consentration needed to make the difficult in traffic catches.
September 15th, 2014 at 11:39 PM ^
I even posted it in the open thread, with that excellent INT, ON the Michigan sideline, I was immediately concerned for Manning's health and well-being and the health of those around him.
I didn't see the fist pump live, but I just knew he had to be losing his mind.

That fake butt block though. Damn. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.
September 15th, 2014 at 4:31 PM ^
Since DBs isn't working out all that great, maybe Manning can coach fist pumps??
September 15th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
Laughed the hardest at "Alllllllllmost got him"
Justtttttttttttt a bit outside
September 15th, 2014 at 6:06 PM ^
three monacle Butt TD wins it for me

Three goggles gets it. Always.

I'm a bit surprised the very early mistimed blitz/ stumble didn't get gif'd. Happened with just under 9 min left in the 2nd Q, RJS? blitzed from 5 yds off the LOS, stopped and slipped, but still managed to stumble back onside. Also surprised Miami didn't snap the ball for an easy 5 yds. And when the play started, he still blitzed, of course.
