It’s Great to be a Michigan Wolverine – November 25, 1995

Every once in a while I get the itch to rehash some great games that I have been witness to in the Big House. In 1995, I wasn’t quite old enough (12 yrs old) to appreciate how great of a win and historic of a day the 31-23 win was over the undefeated Buckeyes. Pre-game predictions with a super-sized, unkept dude to the right of me says, “Michigan’s gonna win this game – no doubt in my mind.” And the rest is history.

Michigan was of course huge underdogs – as the buckeyes were ranked #2 in the country with the Heisman winner Eddie George – and other names like Olrando Pace, Terry Glenn, Mike Vrabel and Shawn Springs to name a few.

Before gameday UM had Terry Glenn to thank as he says this, “We should keep Michigan down here where dey belong just like da resta dem teams and go up there and just…kick dey but like we did everybody else.”

“BIAKABATUKA!”
Biakabutuka was THE man on that November Saturday rolling up over 300 yards – 195 by halftime! Play after play, 10 yards, 15 yards, 31 yards – chunk after chunk Michigan’s running attack chewed up that buckeye D. Woodson really starts to make a name for himself by picking off two Hoying passes and one that sealed the victory. Man – hell of a day to be a Michigan Wolverine!

Michigan spoils a Rose Bowl Berth, perfect season and possible national championship for the buckeyes – ultimately sending OSU to the Citrus Bowl and Northwestern to the Rose Bowl.
