6:01 pm
but they're thinking about more than three. they will go -- he'll 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, he's their toughest defender. he didn't 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 didn't see this coming, 2

6:04 pm
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 it's going to be a touchdown. look at the big fellas. talk about camera club defensively, you're 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, it's the first touchdown of the day

6:06 pm
>> 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 two-point 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 time-outs, will they be trying to win the game or tie it? they'll be trying to tie it. because now it's a two-pnt
6:07 pm
for indiana. >> brock: that's jim harbaugh football. lining up, put my cleats in the ground, and i'm 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
6:08 pm

four-man 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 four-down territory for the wolverines, with 1:38 totoo. presesre coming. rudock g gs deep. it's caught, inside the 5 yard line! jehu chesson is there for
6:11 pm
michigan, at the 2! p big- >> brock: big-time players make big-me plays in big-time moments. and chesson, they have an advantage on the perimeter. it's 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 time-ouou, plenty ofofime. but you'd like to see a little bit of rhythm and urgency here. >> bob: clock winding down to 20
6:12 pm
still with two time-outs. the "i" formation with houma. tries again, stopped again. and jim harbaugh calls that time-out. third down and goal at the 1. now, they have a time-out still after this one. so, two plays, third-dodo ay, call a time-out, fourth-down 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
6:13 pm
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. he's three feet away from evening it up. >> bob: now, michigan has johnson in as tailback in the huddle. looks like they'll 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, it's fourth and goal at the 5. and the final time-e-t spent. >> brock: you just asked me, what do you do here? that's not in my playbook. i get to this end of the field,
6:14 pm
and johnson is not peppers. people. and scales, he's all over it. you give me a pass to the best players, you go east to west, that gives indiana the advantage. now, you're 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, you've taken power football, it seems, off the table. now, you have to try to throw it to the end zone. >> brock: if they don't get it here, this play will be talked abouttor a long time in ann arbor. it will be analyzed if you don't
6:15 pm
>> bob: a lot of big red zone targets for rudock. butt, 6'6". chesson, who's caught three touchdown passes in this game. they'll 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 it's a poioi after away from a tie. >> brock: feels the uressure, doesn't flinch.
6:16 pm
enormous catch, and the body control to bring it in. >> bob: the point after hooks through. another bobble snap, but good effort by o'neill 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: we're 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!

6:19 pm
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 o'neill, able to maintain his composure on the extra point, snap, get the placement down so alaln can g g it through? o'neill, the lastime we saw him in a prominently featured
6:20 pm
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. it's been a bit of a mess today. it will come into a play factor today. and sudfeld, you can't 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 time-out, don't carry over. if you win the toss, you can go offense/defense or select your side. heads, you've won the toss.

6:27 pm
leaping, and it is a touchdown! and this time, there is no doubt. >> brock: that's what the nfl guys like to a say. no matter how u uy your michigan sweater is, you have to agree, that's a grown man running the ball. >> bob: 14 consecutive running plays for indiana offensively. all of the plays in overtime. and now it's on michigan's offense to answer again. jordan howard has done something today that teams in a month haven't done. >> brock: nobody really knew him and the impact he was making in a non-power five conference.
