More UofM Trivia

OK, lets play UofM trivia. Here are a couple of easy questions that tend to trip up some fans. Without looking it up...
Who were the starting tailback and the punter on the 1997 championship team?
Which actor from a current CBS show had a dad who was a michigan captain?
Which Michigan center was drafted as mr. irrelevant?

Correct. I volunteered at a

Correct. I volunteered at a kids program with him and he told me that he wasn't even the starting punter in H.S. He said he tried out for the team, got the starting job over a schollie punter and only then told Lloyd that he didn't punt in H.S. Lloyd told him if he know that he wouldn't have even let him try out.

One more trivia question

In 1997 a Michigan PK booted the longest field goal of his college career. Name the kicker and the length.

Hint: current NFL PK.

EDIT: Lol, and that's what I get for not reading down the page before replying.

Safe bet that he is the only M kicker to ever be the subject of a SNL skit. For all the wrong reasons, but still kind of cool.
