Thanks for posting. Butch did not even start until senior year in high school (not that he wasn't good, it's just that his team was that great). He went from nowhere to a top recruit in three short months.
Butch was great. Fastest recruit to that time in the entire Big Ten (Football or Track). He was actually more of a 220 guy than a 40 or 100. But, according to a guy who would know, Harry Carson, Butch's slashing style was not suited to pro.
Also, there was a time that Joe Morris was sitting on the bench and Woolfolk was starting..
we had 3rd and 34 and i told the washington fans around us "now you get to see michigans draw play" and darned if butch didnt get the first down...never heard another peep out of em all game...bob ufer said "didn't he look like a runaway piano?" ...great memory....oh yeah i was married the night before the game...haha
yep i remember butch, had great speed but wasnt a tough runner. Anthony carter was probably one of the best college receivers ever. Stats don't prove it, dangerous player back in the day of 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
this player remains in my memory to this day. I watched all this as a 16 year old and he was a tremendous player who made an impact on me apparentlty. I also remember Anthony Carter a wide receiver,.
Woolfolk's son Troy is now a cornerback at Michigan... And the other UM RB in the video, Stanley Edwards-- his son was Braylon, no further comment needed!
Oh yeah, Braylon's a great player...he had some maturity issues early on but man, he can take over games. Yeah anyway, Bo was a fan of different formations and he could get two backs in there to act as a wide receiver.
Dick Enberg with the call with the late Merlin Olson.

I play football at WHS. He is such a talented player. I would love to have seen the WHS 1977 team; the greatest team in NJ history.

Is it just me, or did the Washington defense just flat out SUCK against the run? Butch was good, but he wasn't Jim Brown.

He reminds me a little of Tony Temple, you know the running back for Missouri last year...he had a rushing performance like this in a game.
