DG has joined an elite group of odd Michigan stat-sheet fillers (Harmon, Woodson, and ?)

DG has joined an elite group of odd Michigan stat-sheet fillers (Harmon, Woodson, and ?)

Devin Gardner now has 4 TDs passing, 4 TDs receiving (still tied for the team lead), and 3 TDs rushing this year.  This got me thinking about other creators of unusual season stat sheets. 

Harmon of Michigan (below) is of course the king of odd stats, with a 1940 season that saw him post 14 TDs rushing, 7 TDs passing, 1 TD on a KR, 1 TD on an INT return, 18 extra points, a field goal, and (apparently) 2 two-point conversions.  He also punted 42 times for an avg of 37 yards.  He didn't have any receptions in 1940, but he had 4 for 110 yards in 1939, apparently for no TDs.

Woodson had 2 TDs receiving in 1997, with 1 TD rushing, and 1 TD on the PR against OSU.  He had 8 INTs that year, but surprisingly he did not score a defensive TD that year or any other year at Michigan.  He did complete a 28 yard pass against Wisconsin in '97.

Is there anyone else that belongs in this unscientific category?  I suppose Navarre deserves a mention just for his glorious rumble of a TD reception against Minnesota in 2003...Also, since I'm sure someone will mention it, no, I am not saying that DG is in the class of Harmon and Woodson.  I'm just pointing out his unusual stats.  Also, I left out Desmond Howard's Heisman campaign because his stats, while great, were not that odd of a combination.  The reader is of course free to disagree with this - with great vigor if you like.

Not many All American defensive tackles get the opportunity to have a fumble credited to their stat sheet.

I saw that trainwreck of a game live.  It was frigid cold that day and of course the quality of football was miserable.

FWIW, he did score a TD once as a running back - in the '95 MSU game.

What a great Slav.

On the Lewan issue, I think

On the Lewan issue, I think he gets the prize for single weirdest stat.  He has one rushing TD and one rushing yard on zero carries (per postgame stats at MGoBlue.com).  His YPC are undefined.

Lesser Known Stats...

Among Denard Robinson's lesser known stats are 2 career punts for a total of 41 yards, with the longest being a 30-yard punt. Also, he has two recorded solo tackles, with one of those being against Alabama.

Putting Harmon aside because

Putting Harmon aside because he was a freak of nature that scored doing anything, anywhere on the field. 

But I think Charles Woodson and David Terrell are the only players in the last half century to have an interception AND a touchdown catch in the same game.  Woodson did it against Sparty in 1996 and Terrell did it 3 years later against Northwestern.

Woodson came extremely close

Woodson came extremely close to having a TD pass, incidentally.  Griese was tackled at the one-yard line on that play after a 28-yard gain.

That's right, and...

...that play reminds me of Steve Breaston in 2003, when he had 3 TDs receiving, 2 TDs rushing, 2 PR TDs, and the TD pass to Navarre.

I know it's not a single

I know it's not a single player's stat (and I'm sorry to anyone who was still trying to suppress the memory of this game), but doesn't the final play of the U of M vs Nebraska Alamo bowl game hold the FBS record (I think that one D-III game had more) for most laterals in a single play?  Also, it should've been one more lateral than it's official total that resulted in a Breaston TD.  Thanks a lot, Ecker...

I counted 8 Michigan laterals

 

I counted 8 Michigan laterals in the Alamo Bowl game (although Mark Bihl's "lateral" was pretty darn close to just being a fumble).  Just counted only 5 in "The Play."  It may have been more historic, thanks to the band, but didn't have more laterals than us.

Rick Sygar, a contemporary of Timberlake, had 2 passing TDs, and 1 each rushing, receiving and a punt return.

Gordon Bell and John Navarre all had touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving.

Bump Elliott, tallied rushing touchdowns, passing touchdowns, receiving touchdowns, kicked some extra points, scored on a lateral from a teammate after an interception and on a punt return during his M career.
