For Saturday's Rutgers game we head waaay back to 1901 as it was on that day that Fielding H. Yost coached his first game in Ann Arbor. The 50-0 drubbing of Albion got 'Hurry Up' off on the right foot, and set the pace for the Point-A-Minute era where his Meechigan wouldn't lose a game until 1905.

Captain Conley and the 1964 Wolverines | Starting From Nothing (Part I)
“You’ve got to remember, we were a bunch of losers.” That’s how 1964 Michigan team captain Jim Conley labeled his team before summer training camp. But somehow this group of losers, who won just 5 games in 1962 and 1963 combined, captured Michigan’s first Big Ten title since 1950 then pummeled Oregon State 34-7 in the Rose Bowl. Bump Elliott’s team transformed into a powerhouse that put away four top-10 squads, including powerful rivals Michigan State and Ohio State on the road. They crushed teams led by a returning Heisman-winning quarterback in Roger Staubach (Navy), and a squad (Illinois) that featured Dick Butkus, arguably the greatest linebacker in football history.

The Brabbs (2002) | This Week In Michigan Football History

And Saturday, make sure you catch Sam Webb, Ira Weintraub and Steve Clarke live inside the Go Labatt Blue mVictors Lounge. Go Blue! /script Good evening! To kickoff the 10th year of This Week in Michigan football History we take a short, but glorious trip back to August 31, 2002 as Rick Neuheisel’s 11th ranked Washington Huskies marched into Ann Arbor to take on the #13 Wolverines. A capacity crowd filled the Big House on a sweltering hot day to witness this season opener, which for a while, looked like it would be a big Meechigan blowout. On his first carry of the day, Chris Perry broke through an enormous hole and dashed 67 yards to paydirt. Then, early in the 2nd quarter, John Navarre connected with Braylon Edwards for a 45 yard TD to put the Blue up 14-0.But the Huskies wouldn’t go quietly as U-Dubb quarterback Cody Pickett battled back…and before they knew it the 111,000 fans had a game on their sweaty hands. Things remained tight as Chris Perry’s 3rd touchdown of the day put Michigan up early in fourth. But the Huskies quickly answered and LED…
