We're certainly anything but good." Tom Brady completed 23 of 38 passes for 307 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. In assessing the loss, The Michigan Daily found much to blame, including Carr's conservative play-calling, a bad snap by Steve Frazier with 1:48 to play, and "the complete collapse by Michigan's defense." left Illinois Fighting Illini UI Michigan Wolverines UM y 21 66–437 33–157 280 24-33-0 28:36 27 83–425 42–110 315 25–41–2 31:24 right Illinois Fighting Illini Illinois Michigan Wolverines Michigan y Kurt Kittner 24/33, 280 yards, 4 TD Rocky Harvey 17 carries, 106 yards, 1 TD Rocky Harvey 2 receptions, 61 yards, 1 TD Tom Brady 23/38, 307 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT Anthony Thomas 21 carries, 128 yards, 2 TD Marcus Knight 7 receptions, 135 yards, 1 TD Indiana 1999 Indiana Hoosiers football team Michigan at Indiana No. 15 Michigan Indiana 10 7 0 17 0 10 0 21 October 30 Bloomington, IN EDT 41,516 yes 1 11:34 MICH Anthony Thomas 1-yard run (Hayden Epstein kick) MICH 3–0 1 7:11 MICH Epstein 22-yard field goal MICH 10–0 2 7:44 MICH Thomas 15-yard run (Epstein kick) MICH 17–0 2 4:23 IND Kris Dielman 7-yard pass from Antwaan Randle El (Andy Payne kick) MICH 17–7 2 0:00 IND Payne 23yard field goal MICH 17–10 4 13:20 IND Jeremi Johnson 1-yard pass from Randle El (Payne kick) TIE 17–17 4 12:06 IND Jerry Dorsey 4-yard pass from Randle El (Payne kick) IND 24–17 4 10:54 MICH Bennie Jopru 7-yard pass from Tom Brady (Epstein kick) TIE 24–24 4 6:27 MICH Thomas 4-yard run (Epstein kick) MICH 31–24 4 4:59 IND Jerry Dorsey 70-yard pass from Randle El (Payne kick) TIE 31–31 4 0:18 MICH Epstein 20-yard field goal MICH 34–31 yesMichigan Breakdown The Detroit News October 31, 1999 6E https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-michigan-breakdown/126669601/ Newspapers.com Northwestern 1999 Northwestern Wildcats football team Northwestern at Michigan Northwestern No. 16 Michigan 0 0 3 0 6 21 7 3 November 6 Michigan Stadium EDT 110,794 Randy Wright ESPN Plus yes 1 3:21 MICH David Terrell 26-yard pass from Tom Brady (kick failed) MICH 6–0 2 11:40 MICH Marcus Knight 45-yard pass from Brady (Hayden Epstein kick) MICH 13–0 2 5:46 MICH Anthony Thomas 60-yard run (Epstein kick) MICH 20–0 2 0:48 MICH Thomas 1-yard run (Epstein kick) MICH 27–0 3 13:08 MICH Bennie Joppru 11-yard pass from Brady MICH 34–0 3 4:06 NW Tim Long 37-yard field goal MICH 34–3 4 0:33 MICH Brandon Kornblue 26-yard field goal MICH 37–3 yesMichigan Breakdown Detroit Free Press November 7, 1999 5E https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-michigan-breakdown/126656623/ Newspapers.com On November 6, Michigan defeated Northwestern, 37–3, before a crowd of 110,794 at Michigan Stadium.

After a three-and-out, Michigan was forced to punt, and Milons scored on a 62-yard return. Alabama again led by 14 points midway through the third quarter. Trailing by 14 points for the second time in the game, Brady led Michigan on a 72-yard drive ending with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Terrell. It was the third touchdown pass of the game from Brady to Terrell. Michigan drove down the field again on its next possession, Anthony Thomas scoring on a three-yard run with 1:01 remaining in the third quarter. The game was then tied at 28–28. Michigan drove to the two-yard line early in the fourth quarter, but Thomas fumbled at the goal-line and Alabama recovered the loose ball in the end zone. As time ran out, Alabama blocked a field-goal attempt by Hayden Epstein, and the game went to overtime. On the first play in overtime, Brady threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Shawn Thompson, and Epstein kicked the extra point. Alabama quarterback Andrew Zow then completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Carter, but Ryan Pfluger's kick for the extra point went wide to the right, and Michigan won by the margin of the missed extra point. In his final collegiate appearance, Tom Brady passed for a college-career-high 369 yards and four touchdowns.
