SIAP: Michigan Football sets team 30+ points record
According to MGoBlue.com:
U-M totaled 52 points in the game, marking the ninth straight game with Michigan scoring at least 30 points, a streak that began at Ohio State last fall. That is the longest such streak in program history, snapping the eight-game stretch set in 1976.
While the record is nice, I posted this because the streak began at the OSU game last year, which makes the record that much more delicious.

Laugh all you want. But it doesn’t matter that we score 30+ when Ryan Day hangs 100

... soiled pair of underwear out to dry?
(You didn't finish the sentence, so I thought I'd give it a try).
October 8th, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
Technically 30+ can be 101+
October 8th, 2023 at 7:35 PM ^
I think we had some kind of over 30 and other team held under 10 record going, too. Christ, can't we do anything right?
October 8th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
We tied the all time record of number of times in a row we scored 30+ and held the opponent to 7 or less to start the season. Would have set a new record if they didn't get their prayer answered on that TD.

The most important aspect of that stat is the last two teams to put it up won the national championship

My last math class was senior year of HS so I might be a little rusty. Can any math majors confirm that 45 is more than 30 and also more than 23?
October 8th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
Not a math major, but engineering for a bit. My slide rule says you are correct.
Also, Fuck Ohio State.

"Not if the 45 come in big plays!"

It'd be an upset if we don't get the streak to 10 next weekend.
October 8th, 2023 at 7:49 PM ^
Since I will be attending the game vs Indiana, I sure hope we score at least 30.
October 8th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Back in my day, Bo used to score 10 points and try to win the game with defense. And WE LIKED IT!
Congrats to the creative coaches and players who put in the work.

This must be new for you. We'll hold your hand.
October 8th, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
If this is a Dana carvey parody, we’ll done. If you are serious, I have a lot of questions
October 8th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
The '70s were my formative decade of Michigan football, and with few exceptions the times we only scored 10 points was because Ohio State or USC didn't let us score any more than that.
October 8th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
Michigan scored more points against Minnesota than osu has scored against Michigan the last two games
October 8th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
So, I immediately assumed that this was one of those records where they thought college football started in 1976 or something, but I checked the Point-a-Minute teams, and sure enough, none of them had a streak longer than eight.
Of course, some of those games were called at halftime or at the end of the third quarter. :)
October 8th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
cool stat. this blog (and the entire fanbase) has been begging for a high capacity offense that can rack up points for decades.
well, here we are. and we have a defense to match
October 8th, 2023 at 10:15 PM ^
I want more

Goals. Sieve, sieve, sieve. It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault

Reflexes in midseason form. I like it. :)
October 9th, 2023 at 7:32 AM ^
Well, it is mid-season already...
October 9th, 2023 at 1:01 AM ^
How could it be the longest in history when Michigan's history includes "point a minute" teams?
Never mind. Someone already addressed this.
October 9th, 2023 at 7:32 AM ^
You were vultured in the answer to your own question...
October 9th, 2023 at 8:57 AM ^
Go eat some carrion.

I’m surprised the record was set in the 1970s. That was back when every team in the country was Iowa.
