In what could go down as one of the worst college football games of the year, if not ever, Michigan beat Northwestern 10-9, and yes, that was the actual score. For those of you who didn't have the pleasure of sitting through that slap in the face to the game of football, here are some of the highlights:
On 4th and 26, Northwestern's punter dropped the snap, picked it up, kicked it with his wrong foot, and then the ball went 20 yards. A real person who plays football kicked a ball shorter than the first down marker.
Michigan's offense looked like someone attempting to play Madden for the first time. They fumbled the ball after the snap hit a player running by the center after he was put in motion.
Quarterback Devin Gardner fell over while attempting to hand the ball off. He just fell. Like when you've had too much to drink and you think there's a bench in front of you, but there isn't.
And finally, Northwestern scored an actual touchdown in the waning seconds of the game to get within 10-9. Sensing that the entire world wanted to be put out of their misery, the Wildcats elected to go for the win with a two-point conversion. Northwestern's quarterback took the snap, backpedaled and.....fell over. The end. We apologize to anyone who had to endure that entire game.
