Bag of tricks! Michigan scores on improbably special teams play
Published:
#6 Michigan looks to build themselves as they look to finish their last road game of the season versus Maryland before they take on their rivals in #4 Ohio State next week.
After allowing Maryland to get their first touchdown of the game late in the third quarter to lessen the deficit to 31-10, Michigan pulled a special rabbit out of their hat on the kickoff return.
Mike Barrett caught the kickoff from Maryland where he immediately threw a backward lateral to the opposite side for Michigan to A.J. Henning. This play caused chaos for Maryland’s kickoff coverage team as Henning ran it back for a 79-yard touchdown return.
