I would say its a safe bet that 63-7 is a blow out
Someone in Hollywood would be wise to make a movie about Billy Taylor. The guy was my favorite player in this era. His story is amazing. The things the guy went through after his Wolverine days are insane. The way he came back up from the depths is even more amazing. I believe there is a book out about him.
BO should have won 71-76-78-80-85-88 NATIONAL CHAMPS!
Man, if people are mad about how RRod is treating players, look at Bo. These guys are tough kids.
How about that quarterback/pulling guard at 7:57!
ahhhh wtf slade was my dentist!! I never knew he was a qb until after he died. dam
M football the way it should be not the way RR is doing it
was in the stands, almost caught coin’s pat for the record….maybe bo’s best team….
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. GO BLUE!
What a gem.
Bo was 1 of the first I saw that was always on the phone, and then he went to the headset, Not many coaches did that.
Just something i can remember thinking back at the time.
thanks for the vid…great stuff!
Yeah. We might have won that rose bowl in 1971 and may have won a national championship that year also.
The running attack was insane in 71. They ran over all their opponents with ease. I guess Bo didn’t think he needed a passing game.
Alas, if you can’t pass the ball, you’re going to have trouble defending it too. If we had even a mediocre passing game in the 70′s, we wouldn’t have lost so many close Rose Bowl games.
It wasn’t until the late 70′s that Bo finally got the passing game going.
What was Bo’s reason to ditch the passing game in 1971?
I didn’t notice that first, good call.
8:16 Bo giving instructions to a player… 8:28 turns out it was Jim Brandstatter. Thought that was kind of cool
the days of dominating ass kickin Wolverine football. these days will return very soon. Go Blue.
Iowa Football was bad til Hayden Fry came along. Frank Lauterbur was the coach for Iowa in 1971.
great stuff!
funny funny
Amen to that. I remember a few weeks before he died, I saw an interview with him where he said how much better he was feeling. Such a tragic loss.
2:21 and 2:44 – Uh oh! Wait a minute! A UM football coach swearing and yelling at his players!? Where are the “family values”???
Jeezus!
awesome!
LOL. Isn’t that the truth.
Go Blue!
