History of the Michigan Football Team

The University of Michigan first fielded a football team in 1879, making it one of the oldest college football programs in the country. The Wolverines have played in over 1,400 games and have a winning percentage of over .730, which ranks among the best in college football history. Michigan has won 11 National Championships and 42 Conference Championships and has finished in the top 10 of the final AP poll 32 times.

Notable Michigan Football Players

Michigan has produced some of the greatest players in college football history, including Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson, and Tom Brady.

Tom Harmon was one of the most dominant players of his era. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1940 and led the Wolverines to back-to-back National Championships in 1947 and 1948.

Desmond Howard won the Heisman Trophy in 1991 after a season in which he scored 23 touchdowns. He helped lead Michigan to an undefeated season and a victory in the Rose Bowl.

Charles Woodson was a two-way player who won the Heisman Trophy in 1997. He helped lead Michigan to its first National Championship in nearly 50 years.

Tom Brady, while not a Heisman Trophy winner, has gone on to become one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history. He has won seven Super Bowl titles and earned numerous individual awards and honors.

It’s important to act quickly when buying tickets, especially for popular games, as they can sell out quickly.
