Michigan football's Brad Hawkins found himself on the wrong end of a highlight-reel play Saturday night.
Just over midway through the first quarter of the Wolverines’ season opening 24-17 loss at Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish ran a play-action pass from Michigan's 43-yard line. Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush dropped back, set his feet and launched a pass into the end zone.
Hawkins was there with his hands up, ready to make a play. So was Fighting Irish receiver Chris Finke — and Finke took the ball away, completing an impressive touchdown catch and giving Notre Dame a 14-0 lead.
