If I'm not mistaken, didn't UM have three 1000 yard rusher that season, or very close. Wolfolk, Edwards and Ricks. They had a hellva offensive line that year.
when BO was coach did we have any night games at MICHIGAN STADIUM?! AND how come UofM doesnt have night games? I think it would be badass to have the Buckeyes home for like a 8PM showdown!
Great video, but the game I really want to see from the 1980 season is the North\western game.
How the hell Michigan allowed the hapless Wildcats, in the middle of their record breaking losing streak, to make it the game so close - 17-10, I will never know.
If anyone has highlights of the game, please post it.
I was only 6 months old when that game took place but I remember reading that John Wangler was still injured so Rich Hewlett started at QB and played HORRIBLE. That might be one reason the score was close.
Before I was born in 1992, my dad watched this game when he was 19 years old. He was disappointed that California lost to Michigan. His relitives from Michigan were lucky Michigan won. and by the way, I like Michigan, they're a great team and I like their name 'cuz it reminds me of Wolverine. I hope Michigan be better again next year.
Thanks for the footage. Anything else from the 1980 season would be great to see. That year was special for wolverine fans. Wins over Ohio State, Michigan State, and Washington in the Rose Bowl. Bo thought this Michigan team might have been the best team in the country by year's end.
We have a winning record against the Pac 10 (44-22-1). The majority of our losses to Pac 10 teams are in Rose Bowls. For example, we are 2-0 vs. USC during the regular season but 2-6 against them in Rose Bowls. The only other Pac 10 team we have a losing record to is Arizona St. (0-1)
well, yeah, all time we own the Pac 10. its just that recently we've struggled against Pac 10 schools. We haven't beaten a Pac 10 team sicne that 31-29 win over Washington in 2002. I think thats our lone win over a Pac 10 team this decade. Otherwise, we've lost to UCLA (2000), Washington (2001), Oregon (2003 and 2007), and USC (2003 and 2006). But then again, if we played weak pac 10 teams more, we'd win more games against that conference.
Because that was in the era of the tear-away jersey, and AC would have a handful ripped right off his back during a game, thus no point in stitching his name on the back of his uni.
1980 was the first season in which the players wore their names on their jerseys. However you never saw Carter's name on his. During the 1981 and 1982 seasons, Carter's name appeared on his jersey.
anthony carter wore a tear away jersey because they were bringing him down by his shirttail. they didnt bother sewing his name on the throw away jerseys.
No, Stanley wore the number 32, Stanley's son Braylon Edwards who's with the Browns now wore number 80 before switching to number 1. Anthony Carter wore the number 1.
I finally got a copy of the OSU game. And I know where I can get a copy of the Purdue game now. I think the Purdue win was probably the most impressive win of that season.
thanks for all the great videos and great memories i met bo when i was 9 at a scrimage and my dad bought me a hat just like the one bo wore he saw me waved me over and i got his autograph atill to this day i remember him saying nice and i said yeah you too then asked for the autograph got it said go blue and walked away been a wolverine ever since !
