Loved Wheatley. Seems like any time he scored a touchdown, it was at least a 50 yard run.
I often wonder what his final stats in this game would have been had he played the 4th quarter. He was sidelined because of back spasms.
Washington also got rewarded a phantom touchdown before the half on that 70 yard bomb by Mark Brunell. The ball flies out of the receiver's hands at the 2, it's recovered by us in the end zone yet the ref signals Washington touchdown anyway. Oy.

Funny you mention that play. When it happened I remember SCREAMING at my TV for at least a minute that the Pac 10 only needed to get to the 2 yard line to score. I was remembering the screw job we got back in 79 all too well. In bottom picture B1G ref on left.....Pac 10 ref on right. Even though the ball came loose somewhere between the 2-3 yard line and Michigan recovered....you can guess which ref won (and which team lost)!

One of my favorite players ever. He had Heisman Trophy talent, but had bad injury luck.

going to the ohio game as an alum and seeing miniature boxes of Wheaties all over the place. Don't know if it was a promo or a fad, but I still crack-up thinking about it.

This game was HUGE. Washington had crushed us the year before. Wheatley looked like the fastest man alive in this game. Elvis was finishing up what seemd like his 15th season at Michigan.
Mark Brunell was STILL in the NFL as of last year. Wow.

The Rose Bowl is 93 minutes long?
(The apostrophe should go to the left of the year - it represents the omitted numbers.)

"Wheatley explodes....they won't catch him.....put it on the scoreboard!"
That, and "Wheatley could explode..."
Tyrone Wheatley was an excellent exploder, yes. Another player I loved watching.
