1977: Michigan-14 Ohio State-6

[DMan6500]

Watching Woody Hayes take a swipe at the camera man is just great TV!!

This was the first game i saw at Michigan Stadium.

Ohio's last drive trying to tie the game, and Woody who always ran to his side of the field, ran a option right in front of me, inside the North end zone 20 yard line,, and Michigan was all over it, and stuffed it, they then took over the ball and ran the clock out, Michigan style..

good find on this game..

Michigan might have won one of those three straight rose bowls that we lost, if Rick Leach had Anthony Carter to throw to.

I laugh every time I see this Football Game. But I don't know why.

My mom is friends with Dwight Hicks!!

[SEEVIEGEENIE]

Clayton, H-BomB,and Leach with the option. AWESOME!

[harveybullocks1281]

apparently Rod Gereald (the OSU QB) was high on coke throughout the game and that was why he tried 2 make that pitch as he was getting hit. i read it in "War As They Knew It."

[pooroldKawliga]

Ah, when we were the leaders and the best! Glad I was there to witness it that day.

[Jiltedin2007]

I am still lauging about this game today!

[Jiltedin2007]

I'm still laughing about it today!

Rick Leach = Greatest UofM QB ever!

Remember, while at UofM....

[generalbullmoose]

Rick Leach = best QB ever AT Michigan....

[generalbullmoose]

Ricky Leach = Best UM quarterback ever!

No, we're not talking about who ended up the best pro...we're talking who did the best at Michigan. Leach....

3:05 - Watch LB Ron Simpkins dive and then catch that fumble in mid air!

Thanks for posting these great Michigan football videos.  It sure brings back great memories. Do you have the highlights of the 1976 and 1980 UM-OSU games? Those were two of the most exciting games that I remember as a kid.

[WolverineHistorian]

Those are the only wins over OSU I don't have in my collection from the last 35 years.

I'd kill to get a copy of that 76 game.

[harveybullocks1281]

somebody just uploaded it today, not me though. It's in four parts w/ Bob Ufer announcing under youtube username markusr.

[ibebetn]

Did the camera man Woody hit do anything about it?

[WolverineHistorian]

The Sports Illustrated article about this game is on Rick Leach's web site. I'll bet it's mentioned somewhere. That little stunt landed Woody on probation for the following year, though.

I was a student at Michigan at the time and attended this game. What a day (and night)! Thank-you for bringing back the memories.

[twyman]

This was real football, glory days as far as I'm concerned. Brings back a lot of memories, and names you don't hear much anymore - Curtis Greer, Russell Davis, Harlan Huckleby, John Anderson (linebacker AND punter!), and my 1st football hero, "Ricky" (Bob Ufer-ism) Leach. I remember watching Woody Hayes hit that cameraman. Very prescient of what was to come a year later when his Scarlet & Gray Legions went on to play Clemson in the Gator Bowl.

Like the "low five" at 2:52, no high five yet!

[Sundevilhp29]

hahahahahaha how in the world did you ever spot that?

[markusr2001]

Probably the greatest Michigan-OSU game I can remember watching. I think this was the 1st game in the series where I remember Michigan passing frequently.

[kobraf150]

Old Woody hits the camera man, classic! My dad was at that game so he didn't see it since he was caught up in cheering with the crowd but my grandpa remembered it for the 20+ years he would live after this game. "They couldn't finish their drives so that's why we held on!"--he'd say

[wooddog21]

Great game, horrible thing about Rod Springs, very sad

[krazycheez]

Awesome. That's the only time I've had the chance to see a game in A2 and boy, did I pick a good one.

Thanks!
