For some reason, I'll bet WD still actually carries and uses a pager, instead of a "smart phone." He's always searching for a "phone bank"...

had two in the 2010 game against WMU, but one was a fumble return (not a pick six).

That was Hoke's debut. Odd game, being canceled in the 4th quarter due to weather.
IIRC, Herron lost his starting job after that game, despite the two TDs.

Surprising there haven't been more. Who knows what those 1925 and 1926 defenses of Yost's did though. There could've been one with 5 pick sixes.
If I could go back in time, I'd tell people to do official stats when Yost got here. I have a feeling the stats would be so incredibly large that they would never broken in today's game. Willie Heston had 72 TDs in his career. 72! That's 18 TDs per year he was here.
He could've had 10,000 rushing yards for all we know.

That stats aren't available but it would be interesting to know... my guess would be that few teams threw the ball enough to have two pick sixes in a game. For the first few years after the forward pass was legalized in 1906, an incomplete pass resulted in a turnover... and even after that changed, my understanding was that there was a lot of coaches that looked down on the concept and thought it was something dangerous to do.
That said, if Woody's Buckeyes could throw 6 interceptions playing Michigan back in 1969, maybe the belief that nobody threw the ball the "old days' is a crock.

Since the OP's question has been answered...
What is the most exciting play in football? Lots of great choices (Pick-6, kick-off return for touchdown, hail mary or field goal to end the game, etc.
Personally, I'll go with punt return TD. They are rare, usually involve extreme athleticism, and are sometimes sprung by huge hits. Also, UM has some great history with punt return TDs.

Speaking of punt return TDs...

Think the same guy had 2.
Edit: Nevermind, a pick six and a fumble return I think.
