PICTURE(S) OF THE DAY/YEAR

SI'S PICTURES OF THE YEAR. Each year T.A.H. publishes SI's Pictures of the Year. Usually, we do it all at once, but this year we thought we'd parcel them out during the holidays a few at a time.Enjoy.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
