A year ago, it seemed as if Tarik Black had made his triumphant return.

With a little more than 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter of Michigan football's blowout win over Penn State, quarterback Shea Patterson dropped back to pass, looking to add another touchdown to the Wolverines' 28-0 lead.

Patterson saw Black streaking down the sideline and let it rip. Black, five yards away from the nearest defender, tracked the ball and caught it in the end zone for a 41-yard touchdown.
