Michigan (nor pretty much anyone else in the Big 10) ever had a CB like Jaren Hayes. Don't over estimate Edward's performance on that day.
Still, someone needs to link AndyH's highlights to the 1999 UM game for BigM (I have it downloaded, but not the link). Plax owned UM. He owned UM so much that I think it was very much in the mind of the UM coaching staff when they came to E.L. two years later and hacked Rogers for the whole game. I don't remember Rogers exact numbers in that game, but I do remember 3-4 pass interference calls that would have been another 75+ yards for Rogers (not counting the "well, we can't cover him, so let's grab him by the face mask and throw him around on a crucial play in the final drive and hope the refs don't see it" play, or the "we can't stop him with 11, so let's put 12 on the field on 4th down and hope the refs don't see it" play).
