His TD catch against Nebraska in 2011 was one of the better grabs in the last 10 years
about 20 mins in.
August 25th, 2016 at 8:47 AM ^
Definitely Odoms.
August 25th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^

105 that day and the field temp was like 118. That play was awesome. The stadium erupted!
August 25th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
Yes it was! I just remember how flat we were all game long...until that play!
August 25th, 2016 at 7:39 AM ^
I am very excited for this year, as we all are, but I also have a little aprehension as my expectations are so high.
watching us smash Hawaii should aleviate some of the anxiety.

Dennis Franklin. My favorite Michigan qb of all time. Nine more days.
August 25th, 2016 at 10:59 AM ^
made The Big House happy....

Franklin played for the Wolverines from 1972 to 1974, and he became known as "Michigan's first black quarterback" in mass media: "Every time I'd do an interview, they'd throw that tag on me. It became annoying," Franklin said. "Eventually, it went away. That's all I ever strived for."
Franklin was a member of the Michigan teams coached by Bo Schembechler from 1971 to 1974 and was the starting quarterback from 1972 to 1974. Under Franklin’s leadership at quarterback, Michigan tied with Ohio State for three consecutive Big Ten Conference titles from 1972 to 1974 and finished with 30 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. Franklin was a First Team All Big Ten quarterback in 1974 and led the team in passing and total offense every year from 1972 to 1974, becoming the second player at Michigan since Tom Harmon to accomplish that feat for three consecutive years.
Franklin was voted team captain in 1974, was an Honorable Mention All American and finished sixth in the 1974 Heisman Trophy balloting. Franklin also won the 1974 Meyer Morton award, given by the M Club of Chicago for the football player show shows the greatest development and most promise as a result of spring practice and the 1972 John Maulbetsch Award, which is given to the freshman football candidate after spring practice on the basis of desire, character, capacity for leadership and future success both on and off the gridiron.
Franklin is remembered for his role in the classic 1973 Michigan vs. Ohio State football game. When the teams met, both teams were unbeaten with Ohio State ranked No. 1, and Michigan No. 4. Michigan had outscored its opponents 320–58, Ohio State by a margin of 361–33. After an epic struggle, the game ended in a 10–10 tie. Ohio State had gone to the Rose Bowl the year before, which normally would have given Michigan the tie-breaker edge. After some deliberation, the Big Ten athletic directors picked the Buckeyes. There were several explanations including that Franklin broke his collarbone in the game, that the Wolverines failed to win on their home field, and that Ohio State had entered the game as the higher ranked team.

Only 67 pass attempts in 1973. Proof that if you execute flawlessly you won't lose.
August 25th, 2016 at 8:15 AM ^
So I'll honor Dileo, the man Perry should strive to emulate. Mr. Reliable!
Other current #9's include a pair of LBs. Starter Mike McCray:
And True Freshman Devin Gil.

Never thought they'd get it off, and still don't know how they did it! What a fantastic job coaching to have the kick team that ready to go!
Sadly, that coaching was rarely seen in these parts over the last decade, or so...
August 25th, 2016 at 8:49 AM ^
I cannot, either. By the rules, it should not have counted. Not everyone was set. WHATEVER! I'll take it.
August 25th, 2016 at 9:28 AM ^
August 25th, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
It was my understanding there'd be a time run off.
August 25th, 2016 at 12:12 PM ^
Who wasn't set on offense?

August 25th, 2016 at 10:24 AM ^
RS or jersey number change. This falls under the Jersey Number Competition. Whoever sees the field first gets the number.
OR, McCray only plays defense and Gil only plays special teams.That would be allowed (i think).

Wish I was able to see him play. My era's modern versions barely got used the right way. Denard or Gardner on a Bo or Harbaugh team would have been such a wonderful sight.

Hawaii kicks off TOMORROW!!!!!
