Way Back When-sday is at the Top of the Pyramid

October 19, 1996: The crew gets creative before Michigan comes back from down 17-7 to beat the Hoosiers 27-20, a comeback that included a 48-yard end around by future Heisman trophy winner Charles Woodson. Even the play by play stenographer knew CW was something special and got flowery with the language: “Williams started right, reversed to woodson who danced away from tacklers and went around le for 48 and the M TD.“ Love it. Also looking forward to re-creating this photo this week. I think we have half of this crew still around on the regular :). The rest of the pictures from this day 27 years ago are up on the game page.

Gave 'em A Show: Pictures At Indiana 2022

A late arriving crowd missed another perfectly scripted Michigan opening drive, followed by a first half of sloppiness and mediocrity. Indiana fans were treated to a philanthropic dose of hope. And then adjustments were made and dominance ensued, to the tune of Indiana gaining 29 total yards in the second half and a postgame firing of their O-Line coach. Even at the worst of times, the outcome never really felt in doubt, and what was Michigan’s worst performance of the season so far ended in a 31-10 drubbing of the Hoosiers. Michigan starts the season at 6-0 in back to back years for the first time since 1976-77.
