RECAP

Bruce Elliott, nephew of Bump Elliott, returned a punt for Michigan to the Iowa three yard line and set up Michigan's third touchdown on the day. It was the start of 49 unanswered points by the Wolverines, who would go on to route the Hawkeyes 63-7 in one of the worst losses in Hawkeye history. The Hawkeyes got a 12 yard running play on the second to last play of the game to net positive rushing yards (8) on the day. Michigan on the other hand, gained 493 yards rushing.

PLAYER GAME QUOTES

Frank Sunderman In the third quarter, I looked up at the clock when I thought it should be about half over, and there were still something like 12 minutes left. Then, when I was sure it had to be over, I looked up again and there were still 6 minutes to go.
-- Frank Sunderman

Levi Mitchell If I've learned on thing playing against Michigan for three years, it's that you can't make mistakes - and we sure made plenty.
-- Levi Mitchell

COACH GAME QUOTES

Frank Lauterbur It was the worst quarter I've ever seen, Michigan is one heck of a good football team, but like I said before the game, you can't make mistakes against a team like that. We made an ocean full, and if you don't make them drive for touchdowns, they're going to get a lot of points. That is exactly what happened.
-- Frank Lauterbur
