It *does* say favorite gif, but I hear you.

Related: I've always found "Braylonfest" a little overrated. I think it's the 21st-century equivalent of Anthony Carter against Indiana. Multiple amazing plays by one of Michigan's all-time greats, yes, but if the Woodley-on-Stanton hit doesn't happen, Michigan maybe doesn't win that game. Yes, it was nice to beat Sparty (something Lloyd managed to reliably do), but they weren't a good team then.

Huh?

One man literally dominated and won a football game for us.

If Thompson doesn't recover the onside kick it doesn't happen...why does that or Woodley's hit take away from the greatness?

If Braylon doesn't catch all those TD passes we don't win. Avant's TD catch. I could go on and on.

I don't see the point of singling out one play as if it mattered THAT much more. I bet a lot of people don't even what Woodley play you're talking about.

That was one of the most exciting games ever. I was there and we got rewarded for sticking it out and not leaving when it looked out of hand. Those catches were insane, he was literally pulling the ball out of defenders' hands. Definitely not overrated.

a different play we are thinking of?  He had some amaizing games against ND, so it's possible there were a couple of break away plays.  

The play I remember is him running right to left and totally left the ND players in his dust.  He went from 0 to 10 yards ahead of them very quickly.
