1969 MICHIGAN vs OHIO STATE GAME Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan
NOW ON DVD!!
One of the greatest upsets in the history of college football – The defending National Champion and undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes vs the 7-2 Michigan Wolverines under a new head coach! This was one of OSU coach Woody Hayes’ finest teams. Ohio State had won 22 games in a row and had not lost a game at Ann Arbor in ten years! Some sportswriters were calling the Buckeyes the greatest college team of all time and had installed Ohio State as 17-point favorites –— at Michigan Stadium! But, by the end of the day, a sky-high Michigan team led by first year head coach Bo Schembechler, had totally outplayed Ohio State in front of an all-time NCAA record crowd of 103,588, had tied for the Big Ten Title and was heading to the Rose Bowl! The original network tapes have been digitally restored by Rare Sportsfilms for outstanding color and picture sharpness and now this historic classic is available for the first time on DVD! Bill Flemming and Lee Grosscup call the action! This entire TV broadcast, plus the pre-game show, includes all the original commercials and also features pre-game and halftime performances by both the Ohio State and University of Michigan Marching Bands! Pre-game interviews feature Jack Tatum of Ohio State and Jim Mandich of Michigan, as well as Buckeye coach Woody Hayes! Players in action you will see throughout the game include quarterback Don Moorhead, Billy Taylor, Marty Huff, Thom Darden, Dan Dierdorf, Glenn Doughty, Garvie Craw and Barry Pierson of Michigan. For Ohio State you’ll see quarterback Rex Kern, Jim Otis, Mike Sensibaugh, Leo Hayden, Jan White, Jim Stillwagon, Larry Zelina, Stan White and many others! This game marked the beginning of the famous “Woody vs Bo Ten-Year War”, and is one of the most significant games in the history of Michigan-Ohio State football! Running Time: 3 Hours, 20 Minutes

Frank Beamer has built Virginia Tech into one of the nation’s most consistent programs, but our writers give U-M the edge in the Sugar Bowl. PHOTO COURTESY VIRGINIA TECH
• At the Sugar Bowl, the nation’s longest-tenured coach, Frank Beamer, who’s a shoo-in for the College Football Hall Of Fame, will square off against one of the sport’s newest stars, National Coach Of The Year candidate Brady Hoke. And if the Wolverines can topple the Hokies, Michigan’s new head honcho could be set up for a Beamer-like run of sustained success. Prediction: Michigan 28, Virginia Tech 24 — Andy Reid • Though the Michigan defense didn’t start the year with a bang, Greg Mattison rounded his troops into solid form by midseason.

• Be wary of a prideful team scorned. Virginia Tech fits the bill this year, its head coach (Frank Beamer) scoffing at opinions he and his team didn’t deserve the BCS this year.

How will the Big Ten fare in its 10 bowl games this year?
Only one opponent in the second half of the year (Ohio State, thanks to a defensive game plan that underestimated Braxton Miller’s passing skills) exceeded their season-long average for yardage against Michigan. Though Virginia Tech’s offense has been formidable this season, it hasn’t been consistent, and the Wolverine D should be able to keep the Hokies in check.

NCAA quarterbacks to rush for 1,000 yards during the regular season — Northern Illinois’ Chandler Harnish (1,382), U-M’s Denard Robinson (1,163) and Kansas State’s Collin Klein (1,099). Victories U-M earned in 2011 against bowl-bound opponents, tying the Maize and Blue with LSU and Oklahoma State for most in the country. All-time bowl appearances for the Wolverines; Michigan is 19-21 in its previous 40 postseason matchups. Offensive plays of 20 yards or more for the Maize and Blue this season, with one game to play; U-M had 65 such plays last year.

• For this group of Michigan seniors, losing the Sugar Bowl would be akin to leading a marathon then falling down an open manhole in mile 26. They’re on a mission, and so are the rest of the Wolverines, from the MVP on down. If Virginia Tech had its hands full with mobile Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, wait until it gets a vapor trail from Denard Robinson. The vast majority of players on Michigan’s roster have never experienced a positive game-day experience in a bowl. That’s about to change. Prediction: Michigan 38, Virginia Tech 24 — John Borton

Seconds later, he made another huge catch — as the holder for Gibbons’ gamewinner. “Drew is not the biggest guy, he’s not the fastest guy, but the one thing Drew is, he is a football player,” Hoke said. The Wolverines all stood a little taller, after surviving a head-knocking defensive struggle that saw the Spartans’ Le’Veon Bell rush 26 times for only 68 yards, and MSU quarterback Andrew Maxwell go

21-of-34 for 192 yards and the game’s only touchdown. This one was about hanging on, and the Wolverines did so at times like a man clinging to a skyscraper ledge. The game turned dramatically early in the fourth quarter on MSU’s longest run of the day — not by Bell, but by Michigan State punter Mike Sadler. The U-M defense had done its job, bottling up the Spartans at their own 23-yard line. With the clock ticking away, it looked as if Michigan would get great field position with a 9-7 lead. Instead, Sadler took the long snap and bolted right, finding no resistance from the Wolverines’ punt return team. He rumbled 26 yards for a first down, the key play in MSU’s 90-yard, 18-play, field goal drive. “They saw we weren’t leveraging the outside … that got them some hope, got them in the game,” Hoke said. “We told the defense, keep them to a field goal and
