This is definitely one of the plays of the week in college football.
Michigan got off to a slow start despite being heavy favorites against SMU. The Mustangs were able to slow the Wolverines’ rushing attack and hold Michigan to 14 points late in the first half. In fact, SMU had the ball and was driving into Michigan territory with a chance to tie the game heading into the break.
Well, SMU had a chance until Josh Metellus provided the Wolverines with a bit of breathing room. Metellus made a beautiful read and jumped a route for the the interception. He went on to show some impressive moves on the return, bringing it all the way back 73 yards for the score.
