Saturday's Big Ten matchup between No. 4 Michigan and No. 8 Wisconsin was arguably the biggest game of the day next to Tennesee vs. Georgia. It was a low-scoring, defensive game, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was short of highlights.
Towards the end of the first quarter with nine seconds remaining, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh made a rare I-formation play call when they were in the red zone at the six-yard line. You'll probably only see this again if you and your friends decide to use this same play in your backyard playing a pickup football game.
This got hilarious reactions on Twitter for the unorthodoxed play.
In the second quarter, Jim Harbaugh was, well, Jim Harbaugh and scolded the refs on a call by yelling 'YOU FUCKERS!' I'm sure if you can read this post, you can read his lips, too.
As the game progressed into the second half, the Wolverines had a hard time putting away the Badgers, and were tied at 7-7 in the fourth quarter. Michigan took the lead 14-7 on a 46-yard touchdown pass from QB Wilton Speight to WR Amara Daboh with 7:56 remaining. With only three drives in attempt to tie, the Badgers only gained a mere of 14 yards against the Michigan defense.
To seal the victory, Michigan CB Jourdan Lewis channeled his inner-Odell Beckham, Jr. and caught one of the sickest interceptions you'll ever see. With 2:46 remaining in the game, Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook threw a pass from his team's own 8-yard line, and Lewis took down the pass on a seam route with a one-handed diving catch in the most insane way imaginable.
From there, Michigan was able to hold the ball and milk the clock towards a victory. And Lewis' catch has to go down as one of the best plays in college and pro football this season.
