That's three victories in their book.
So that's still a Michigan win as well.
I haven't found the 1989 stats but I can almost guarantee you they outgained in that game because "return yards" don't count and we had no incentive to risk gaining large amounts of "real yards."
We haven't beaten these guys in decades....
When the hell have we beaten them?
it is rather surprising how often the team with the most yardage loses this game.
It seems as though in a blowout towards the end of the game the balance usually tilts toward the losing team - gaining 150 yards in the 4th Q against a prevent, while the winning team grinds out 50-60 while running out the clock.
They were clearly the better team on the field that day, the score just didn't reflect it. I know, a Michigan Man told me so.
was on. They should have shared.
Oh, wait.
