Updated Records: Michigan All-Time Touchdowns

I'm sharing this as an informative update. Personally, I'm just passing the time before I leave for the game. I have a deep interest in statistics, which dates back to my childhood when I spent an excessive amount of time examining small 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of cardboard featuring pictures of my favorite baseball players.

We've had multiple discussions on this topic in the past on the site. Recently, I decided to investigate Corum's status, and while examining the records, I noticed the addition of a new list for All-Time Individual Touchdown Records. The exact date of this addition remains unclear, but it's apparent that it wasn't part of the original design.

It's uncertain whether this addition signifies a change in the official records, possibly including pre-modern era games (pre-1938), or not.  I did not see any other individual stats from the pre-modern era for anything other than touchdowns.

If these are now the official records the updated list now features Willie Heston's 72 touchdowns as the individual all-time career touchdown record.

Furthermore, this update revises the all-time individual game record, which was previously shared by Ron Johnson, Haskins, and Corum at 5 touchdowns. The new all-time single game record would be 7 touchdowns, held by Al Herrnstein, and was established against Michigan Agricultural College (MSU) in 1902. The previous record of 5 touchdowns would be shared by a larger group of players.

Additionally, this update modifies the all-time single-season touchdown record. Previously, it was held by Desmond Howard at 23 touchdowns in 1991. Now, Al Herrnstein's record of 26 touchdowns, set in 1902, would take its place.
