But theyre thinking about more than three. They will go hell battering ram his way to the 38 for a g gain four, a first down. Brock this is a michigan front seven without their best player, looks like howard has to come out. Lasco, hes their toughest defender. He didnt make the trip. And you see the e fference without him today. Continue to run the ball at michigan. Bob majette, the true freshman, downed close to the 34 yard line. We knew this was a potent indiana offense. But we didnt see this coming, 2 run defense in the country. Sudfeld on a keeper. Took a hit, came up about a yard shy of the first down. Will mark him down at the 30. So, another play calal here . Brock run, ru run the ball. Run the ball, run the clock. You want to fight, you do it with your big boys up front. The allamerican right guard, the future nfl left tackle. And i love the commitment to it on this drive. Bob howard is back in the game, and hes got the first down. Seven straight run plays for indiana against the third best run defense in america. Theyre inside the 25 yard line. Brock heres the uptempo team, still trying to py with some rhythm. But understands situational football. Something so many of the spread teams cant. Because so few of them have a 230pound running back that can lean on a veteran offensive line and quarterback to manage the most critical moments. Bob howard again. Inside the 20. Cuts it back at the 10 end zone touchdown its a fivepoint lead for indiana. They will leave their offense on the field and go for two. After replay takes a look to end zone. Brock and look at the big boys out front. Feeney once again, setting the pace. You have to see where that knee was downed, and where the ball was. I think its going to be a touchdown. Look at the big fellas. Talk about camera club defensively, youre going to see that as the ball crosses the goal line, three big boys chasing him, said to their coach, you want us to turn this around . Put it on our shoulders. All getting involved behind their workhorse, who now pushes over 200 yards for howard, on yet again, a career day. Bob if the play stands, its the first touchdown of the day puts him on 200 rushing yards even. Last week, he rushed for 174, and two scores against an iowa defense that this season was averaging, allowing 86 yards per game. Had only allowed one rushing touchdown for the year. Two last week, and this week, 200 rushing against a team that barely allowed 81 per game coming into today. Brock this is a critical twopoint conversion. Bob these replays are is,synced up. Rereay is taking their time, just t tmake sure. Brock its awfully close, with the left knee, where the ball is. Bob the decision has come down. Referee after further review, the ruling on the field stands, touchdown. Brock sure looks like the right call. But this is a critical two poinin. This is where michigan answered the bell against a minnesota team, where a twopoint conversion was so critic. And this is their opportunity, as good as rudock has been pushing the ball down the field, better not be celebrating that touchdown. You need all the focus on getting the two points. Bob 2 52 and two timeouts, will they be trying to win the game or tie it . Theyll be trying to tie it. Because now its a twopnt for indiana. Brock thats jim harbaugh football. Lining up, put my cleats in the ground, and im going tount you. And he knows, his group that had been so dominant in that phase of game this season, they got pushed around. Bob well, michigan still had a script that according to j harbaugh could be written. He saidhe players are well aware of the situation, for this to be one of the great seasons in michigan football, it will have to be one heck of a conclusion. But they have a chance to write the conclusion. They need a win today. They have to beat indiana, penn state, and need ohio state to win next week against micicgan statat to have that patat clear and in their own hands to get to the big ten championship game. But first things first, theyre down by a touchdown with 2 52 to go. Indiana has l lt 19 in a row to michigan. And getting loose, to the 33 yard line, lewis. And tonight on espn, another game we hope is as good as this one, lsu a ainst arkansas. Or coverage begins at 7 15 p. M. On espn, and streaming live on watch espn. Still got Leonard Fournette at the top of your heisman ballot . Time. Bob going to the air on first down. Theres the guy, and jake butt just made a catch. Brock you just know you are going to get your best players motion. Jijiharbaugh has been in these battles, hes not going to flinch. Youre going to see chesson, darboh, and butt involved in the final 2 00. Bob rudock, taking what is given to him. Butt once again, for close to nine yards. Gets to the 42 yard line. About 8 1 2 on first down. Plenty of time for michigan. 2 00, two timeout and already fourman rush. Rudock swings it right. Caught by smith. Fletcher came up to help on the stop with fant. Now, third down and three. In what is obviously fourdown territory for the wolverines, with 1 38 totoo. Presesre coming. Rudock g gs deep. Its caught, inside the 5 yard line jehu chesson is there for michigan, at the 2 p big brock bigtime players make bigme plays in bigtime moments. And chesson, they have an advantage on the perimeter. Its been indiana run and michigan pass that has gotten them to this point. Bob up the middle, stopped at about the 1 yard line. It will beecond down and goal. Brock two timeouou, plenty ofofime. But youd like to see a little bit of rhythm and urgency here. Bob clock winding down to 20 still with two timeouts. The i formation with houma. Tries again, stopped again. And jim harbaugh calls that timeout. Third down and goal at the 1. Now, they have a timeout still after this one. So, two plays, thirddodo ay, call a timeout, fourthdown play. That means the full playbook is at their disposal. Do you keep running it with the bulldozer out there, or do you put rudock at the edge . Brock you have the confidence in theun game. Dodot you just love College Football . This is exactly what you sign up for in november. Bob in a game, we thought indiana had a chance, but this is a different kind of game than we expepeed. B b this is indiaia enforcing their will, and rudock, having to step up and carry a defense for the first time this season. Hes three feet away from evening it up. Bob now, michigan has johnson in as tailback in the huddle. Looks like theyll line up houma in thehe offset, i left. Third down and goal. 11 seconds to go, at the 1. The toss. At the 5 yard line, johnson is brought down. And now things change dramatically for michigan. They lose four yards. Now, its fourth and goal at the 5. And the final timeet spent. Brock you just asked me, what do you do here . Thats not in my playbook. I get to this end of the field, and johnson is not peppers. People. And scales, hes all over it. You give me a pass to the best players, you go east to west, that gives indiana the advantage. Now, youre looking at five yards. Bob indiana, coming into today, the 119th team in total defense. Now, they just tried to play speed football to the edge. And lost four yards, and now, youve taken power football, it seems, off the table. Now, you have to try to throw it to the end zone. Brock if they dont get it here, this play will be talked abouttor a long time in ann arbor. It will be analyzed if you dont bob a lot of big red zone targets for rudock. Butt, 66. Chesson, whos caught three touchdown passes in this game. Theyll line them up in the shotgun. This is the game. Michigan for the tie. Six seconds to go. Fourth and goal. Here comes the blitz. Rudock to the end zone. In traffic, it is caught chesson, touchdown, his fourth of t t game with their season on the line, rudock comes through. His favorite target, jehuu chesson, bailing them out. And its a poioi after away from a tie. Brock feels the uressure, doesnt flinch. Enormous catch, and the body control to bring it in. Bob the point after hooks through. Another bobble snap, but good effort by oneill to contain it. Brock the bad snap, and the grounder on the missed field goal earlier what a game we have in bloomington, indiana. Bob were going to overtime. When we return. In 1919, my ancestor,marcel tolkowsky vented the ideal cututiamond, unlocking the true beauty of the diamond. For over 90 years we have continued to perfect this diamond. Now kay jewelers brings you tolkowsky ideal cut diamonds from the family that invented the ideal cut. At kay, the number one Jewelry Store in america. From our family, to the beginning of yoyos. Yes bob while we were away, they put two seconds back up on the clock. The clock read all zeros when chesson chaugtaught the pass. , there will be a kickoff before overtime, unless indiana pulls, dare i say, a miami rabbit out of their hat, well be playing some extra football in bloomington. So, allen, with the kick. And indiana will take no hances. Just jump on top of it, that will send us now officially to overtime. What a football game. Michigan needed the 00 drive to force this game to overtime. It began with the running attack for indiana. Way. And on the other side, rudock. Complimentary football, in team football, when you have to deliver in the final 2 00, rudock did. And that whole operation, fieie goal, lonon snsnper, kickck, been a bit of a wild ride for jim harbaugh this afternoon. Bob and how about blake oneill, able to maintain his composure on the extra point, snap, get the placement down so alaln can g g it through . Oneill, the lastime we saw him in a prominently featured lot of vitriol. In the Michigan State game. That kept this game e ive for michchan. Brock no surprise to see them working on that operation. Its been a bit of a mess today. It will come into a play factor today. And sudfeld, you cant deviate away from the run game today. Bob chesson, four touchdowns today. Ties the michigan record for touchdowns in a game with Derek Alexander back in 1992. Referee going to get one timeout, dont carry over. If you win the toss, you can go offense defense or select your side. Heads, youve won the toss. Michigan has won the toss, elects to go defense first. Which end do you want to play at . First down and ten in the end, at the 25 yard line, going this way. Bob lets remind you about over time. Weve had the coin toss. Each team gets a possession from the opponents 25 yard line. And you have to go for two once weet to the third overtime if we score a touchdown. Brock it may be time for michigan to turn up the heat a little bit defensively. The front has been overwhelmed by the indiana offensive line. When they can line up, run at you, y y know whats comomg and you cant stop it, time for a few reinforcements. Sudfeld been waiting to dial up a play action fake . Not settle for a field goal. Brock yes, and s. B b theyll start with howard on the ground. Gets to the edge. Just like that, its first and goal at the 9 yard line for indiana. That didnt take long. Brock and harbaugh screaming for a holding call on the edge. I dont see it. I see spriggs once again looking for the portunity. Bob how about the fallball fake . Out of bounds goes paige. E. Didudfeld do an unbelievable job freezing the defense . And gets his 66, 240 involved. Bob that was a reverse. Howard almost immediately gave it too paige. Second and goal at the 2. Howard. Up the middle. To about the yard and a half line. Where it will be third down and goal. Taco charlton and desmond morgan, right in the middle of the pile for michigan defensively. Brock okay senior linebackers, time for you to get involved and hit the mack truck thats been running over you in the backfield before he can get going. Bob theyll run it again. Howard, driving his legs to the goal line. Is he in . Yes. Indiana starts overtime with a touchdown. And its Jordan Howard again. Brock it was Chris Wormley that time. He has an opportunity, hes turned sideways, and just cant do anything about the power and force of howard. Bob is he short of the goal line theyll certainly replay to take another look. That last look we had is probably the best one were going to be able go get. Its hard in that mass of bodies to see the football. But here, you get a pretty good look. Brock and the leftrm and forearm is short. Bob ruled a touchdown on the field. It has to be indisputable video cant see his knees. Brock dodont matter. Bob tough to say the knees were down before the elbow hit. Looks like the determining factor would be the elbow. But looked like the ball was short. Brock well, kevin wilson and kevin johns said, c ceman is good. Bubu when it comes to running with power, he has even more. Referee after further review, the runner was downed with the ball half a yard from the goal line. It will be fourth and goal at the 1 2 yard line. Bob so, the nose of the football will be no more than a foot to a foot and a half short. Its fourth and goal. Michigan got a goalline stop two weeks ago against minnesota offense the ball with the chance to kick a field goal to win in overtime. Fourth and goal, indiana lines up to go for the touchdown. Half the distance is not going to move the ball much. As henry jumped offsides. Referee offsides. Defense, number 69, with contact. Penalilid half the distance to the goal line. Remains fourth down. Bob where is theall going . From 12 inches away to 6 inches away. Henry tried to beat the snap count. Brock hes gotten you to this point. The best on the field with chessonnnd rudock hes got to determine this one. Leaping, and it is a touchdown and this time, there is no doubt. Brock thats what the nfl guys like to a say. No matter how u uy your michigan sweater is, you have to agree, thats a grown man running the ball. Bob 14 consecutive running plays for indiana offensively. All of the plays in overtime. And now its on michigans offense to answer again. Jordan howard has done something today that teams in a month havent done. Brock nobody really knew him and the impact he was making in a nonpower five conference. Youre doing this against your third best rush defense in america. 80 yards game. Thats all theyve given up, 240 total a game, the second best crew. 218 by himself. And Everybody Knows it. Jim harbaugh, d. J. Durkin knows, the front seven know. And they still cant stop it. Bob every time indiana has seemingly gotten the game to the point they can win it, rudock has had an offense. Big red zone threats. Chesson with fouou touchdown receptions. But darboh, 62, butt, 66. Plenty of targets. Its been more of a balance offensively for michigan. Now, they start at the 25. Where are you going here . Brock you have butt,
