September 24th, 1994. There were six seconds left, and Colorado trailed 26-21. The Big House was slammed full of screaming fans in maize and yellow, probably deciding where they were going to celebrate Michigan’s huge win over the 7th ranked Colorado Buffaloes. Colorado quarterback Kordell Stewart took the snap from his own 36 yard line, dropped back, and threw up a prayer. The ball went over 70 yards in the air, was tipped, and fell right into the hands of wide receiver Michael Westbrook in the end zone. Touchdown. The entire Buffaloes team stampeded to the end zone and dog piled, Colorado won 27-26.
