Conover the Top

Michigan's Jon Conover hurdles an Indiana lineman and nearly blocks a punt by Chris Hagerup during the teams' Big Ten opener in Ann Arbor on Sept. 26. The Wolverines prevailed 36-33 to get off to a 4-0 start.

"I was running from end zone to end zone following the football but decided to stop for a shot of this punt, since both teams had come close to blocking a number of kicks. At first glance I didn't think much of the shot, since the punt wasn't blocked. Then I took a second look." -- Photographer Eric Bronson/ICON SMI
