Counting Down Michigan’s Greatest Season Openers
1984 for the most part was not a memorable season for Michigan. Schembechler’s squad would finish 6-6 after an injury to QB Jim Harbaugh sent the season into a spiral. But it did begin with a bang, as the Wolverines took out the number one ranked Hurricanes propelling the Wolverines to a temporary third place ranking. 1984 was also Jimmy Johnson’s first at the helm for Miami. He would finish the season 8-5 with three consecutive losses, including the historic Hail Flutie Game. An odd tidbit, Miami entered the game 2-0, while it was Michigan’s season opener.

Although the 1986 match-up was a victory for Michigan, it is an ode to the Irish. Michigan entered 1986 ranked 2nd in the Country. The game at South Bend was Lou Holtz’s first leading Notre Dame after previously coaching at Minnesota. The Fighting Irish were unranked, but came out firing as they amassed 455 total yards while never punting. Yet somehow the Wolverines would pull out this game by the skin of their teeth.
They did due to the Irish’s poor ball security. Notre Dame turned over the ball four times to Michigan’s one. Three of those turnovers occurring inside the red zone. A missed extra point and 45 yard field goal by future pro John Carney also helped seal their fate. For the first time in history, an unranked team, Notre Dame, moved up into the rankings (#20th) following a loss.

The game started out slow with Denard Robinson unable to gain a first down during Michigan’s first two possessions as both teams went scoreless. Tate Forcier was inserted for the Wolverine’s third possession and promptly 5 consecutive passes driving the Wolverines 83 yards down the field before Micheal Shaw would score from 3 yards out.

Both teams would go on to exchange possessions that failed to pass midfield before Denard Robinson would be re-inserted for Michigan. Robinson quickly hooked up with Roundtree three times covering 45 yards being topped off with a 9 yard slant pass for the score.

Fraser quickly responded for the Huskies completing 5 passes in a row covering 76 yards. The scoring play was a 8 yard pass to Moore.

The following drive will be one that the Head Coach Rich Rodriguez will have on his mind all night as Denard drove the team to the 1 yard line before they would attempt a 4th down conversion. Robinson missed Darryl Stonum in the corner to cause a turnover on downs.

Michigan entered the match-up in 1999 ranked 7th in the country while Notre Dame was 16th. Tom Brady, Anthony Thomas, Marquise Walker & David Terrell powered the Wolverine offense. Drew Henson also came in periodically to spell Brady. With four minutes remaining, Notre Dame went for it and 4th & 1, hit a wide-open receiver to pull ahead 22-19. The rest is history:
Michigan would finish the season 10-2 (losses to Michigan State & Illinois) defeating Alabama 35-34.
