DT ( known as a defensive guard back in the day) Henry Hill also was #39. He was a walk on and worked his way up to starter. In 1970 he was the most valuable defensive player. Even though he was only 5'10" 220lbs he had quickness to get by those bigger O lineman.  The 1970 missed extra point in the 3rd QTR really deflated Michigan, since they could not tie the score at 10. An INT and 4th down drop helped OSU win this game. I remember when I went to grad school at OU in the late 80s, Roy Rogers was a big thing. I don't think the Roy Rogers Family Restaurants made as far north as Michigan, at least I don't remember them in the early 70s. I remember my uncles would always drink colt 45.

Man, I loved Houma. What a beast.

Is Ben Mason still playing offense this year? (I’ve been away from the blog a bit this offseason)

Sounds like mostly no as he’s been working on D-Line, though it’s always possible they break him out for a short yardage or goal line package at some point. I have a feeling he’ll feature prominently on special teams and may show up in some unexpected places/plays here and there all year.
