@WolverineHistorian What made me ask was Ufer saying he had never been so happy in all his 59 years. But he must have gotten caught up in the excitement and Ufer's announcing helped to make this a classic.

@Chris55433 What's so hard to understand? Winning on the final play of the game is exciting no matter who your opponent was. At the time, it kept us undefeated in the Big Ten and in the conference race. The loss earlier in the year (a 2 point heartbreaker to Notre Dame thanks to a last second blocked FG attempt) had nothing to do with the Rose Bowl race. And finally, Indiana was a decent team that year winning 8 games. They were also the only Big Ten team to win their bowl game.

@69UM24OSU12 What was the significance of this game? As I understand it Michigan had already lost earlier in the year, and here they beat Indiana who wasn't exactly a power house. I don't understand why Ufer was so ecstatic.

I remember it well, it was my senior year at Michigan. Today, the play couldn't have happened as it did. Our team fumbled the ball out of bounds on the preceding play (some said deliberately). Today, that would call for a ten second run-off ending regulation time. I'm glad there was no such rule then!
