Thanks for posting. This was the first game that I saw in person as a freshman student! I vividly remember the Wheatley kickoff return.
Real Michigan Football. Oh how I've missed it....
This game was during the early part of the "Dark Ages" for the entire UH athletic program, which lasted roughly from 1991 to 2002. The UH faculty and students were openly hostile to the football team, there was no money available, and it was common to see people walking around campus wearing gear from other schools. I also remember that last play against Illinois a week earlier where the Houston QB threw a touchdown at the end instead of taking a knee. Coach Jenkins was smiling as he walked off the field at the Astrodome, but it was certainly not a proud moment for my Coogs.
If the run and shoot and John Jenkins would have stayed at Houston that wouldn't have happened.Blame it on steve skaggs.
I was pretty young at the time this game was played so I don't remember. But I've read that Houston took great delight in humiliating opponents in the Southwest Conference back in those days.
Just 2 years prior, they threw seven 4th Quarter TD's in a crushing defeat of Southern Methodist 95-21. Many lopsided scores in those days and this time, they knew what it felt like.
3 ties from a national championship!
1 1/2 losses
@wolverinehistorian
you should add yesterday's OSU vs Michigan game to your list. you guys earned it fair and square.
thanks a bunch for the info man!
Derrick Alexander far I’m one of the greatest Wolverines ever.
3:18, that's some high-tech (at the time) picture-in-picture!
Wheatley was a freak!!!
@commodorefan2 correct. Andre Ware was 25-41 for 517 yards and 5 pass TDs in the 2nd quarter. At that point it was 59-14 Houston. David Klingler threw 20 passes (12 for those being deep passes). they had a grand total of 1021 yards (771 passing and 250 rushing). 14 of the players on SMU in that game were freshmen.
That was the end of the dominance of Houston football. It wasn't until about 5 or 6 years ago that they were winning again under Art Briles. Houston was 1-9-1 that year. Oh, the third-string QB for Michigan (#13) was Jason Carr, son of Lloyd Carr. Lloyd was an assistant back then.
8:14. I like L Carr, but it is a shame that things did not work out for G Moeller. He transitioned the program the right way. I almost forgot that it was he that moved Reimersma to tight end. He throws a td to Amani Toomer at 8:14....
A week or two previous to this game, Houston had run up the score vs Illinois. This was a big payback game for the Big Ten.
If I'm not mistaken, it was Houston's previous game and, after the game, they were chanting "Bring on the Big Ten champs!" as they left the field.
It was a payback game by proxy for a lot of teams. Moeller got a lot of congratulatory mail from teams that Houston had RUTS-ed in years past.
Yeah, Keith Jackson was my favorite too.
Whoa Nellie
Yes, I did. It's given me a little hope. But I'm naturally negative when it comes to my sports teams. I can't change.
5 straight turnovers in Illinois territory taking the game to halftime. Over 300 yards of offense in the first half but only 7 points on the score board. The team was shaken and never the same after that leading to the tie.
You're right. Houston is still recovering. Who knows? If they can win the Conference USA title again this season, they may prove to be getting back on their feet again. With hires like Kim Helton and Dana Dimel they completely crushed the program.
Kevin Sumlin is a good coach though, and Bob Stoops knows it.
Yep, it just wouldn't be college football with out him, he isn't my favorite but I like him a lot better than when he Dan Fouts did games UGh! Dick Vermiel was okay. I'll always miss Kieth Jackson though, he was my favorite.
It was the run and SHIT for the Cougars!
Can't handle the great non-conference teams!
I saw that game in person too. But I'm sorry to say, I didn't tape it.
@commodorefan2 SMU coach Forrest Gregg said, "I'd never run up the score like that on a group of freshmen and sophomores. I hope they're really proud of their accomplishment. It was a sad day for college football."
Houston had been running up the score on their previous opponents, but, they got a taste of their own medicine on this day.
christ sake! I thought this was gonna be a close game, but when heatley returned the first kick I knew it was gonna be something.
Pretty close.
In 92 Michigan was fit to be tied
Georgia Tech had a grudge with Cumberland over them using ringers in baseball, so they ran up the score in the football game. But Heisman actually had the game end a few minutes early so it wouldn't get much more out of hand than that.
Hey, I'm view number 1! Sweet!
Alexander wore #40 when he redshirted in 1989. But he wore the #1 the rest of his career. There was no "earning it." Braylon was the only one to do that. Carter, McMurtry, Alexander, Butterfield and Terrell all got it without earning it....
Announcers were Brent Musberger and Dick Vrmeal.
I went to that game too. But I'm sorry to say I didn't tape it.
We scored 63 against Minnesota later that season.
Michigan took care of business 👨💼 this game
Texas ran the score up on Houston because of this in 1990.
Grbac was out with an injury for this game as well as the previous week's game against Oklahoma State. What the injury was, I can't remember.
@chrisuncleahmad this year, houston put up 73 on Rice and Tulane
This is what the score usually looked like for Michigan when Bo was head coach.
Do you have the entire game?
He wore #37 as a true frosh, but then switched to #1.
Also, it was only 7-0 going into the 2nd quarter. By halftime though, it was over.
@Martaan66 good job vs my buckeyes. Michigan was the better team this year, and they also got a good 10-2 record. i have highlights of yesterday's game on my page.
I think he wore #80 once, but I'm not sure.
And the announcer is Brent Musberger.
Wheatley ran like Usain Bolt that season didn't he?
8:10
Yeah, I remember that. LOL how the hell did Illinois tie us that year?!
Still can't believe Ohio State tied Michigan in 92.Ohio State President called it greatest win in Ohio State history 😳.
Yeah RR won't be afraid to pour it on like Lloyd was.
Who do you think would won Alabama or Michigan? I was so young so I do not remember that 1992 Alabama team!
Alabama would have drubbed Michigan just like they thumped Miami in Sugar Bowl
who would win this showdown?
1989 houston cougars or 2012 alabama crimson tide?
profoak1 Andre Ware? Wish he worked out with the lions
12 Tide might have been best team in ever.Superior to 89 Cougars who were maybe 4th or 5th best team in 89
I remember hearing about Houston's gimmicky run-and-shoot offense.
How did you feel about Houston? Did you think they'd put up a fight, or did you see a rout?
WH do you have a copy of the 03 game vs Houston
I do not. Sorry. I went to that game but never recorded it.
@brianreading they are undefeated, but i would like to see houston play against a good team before i recgonize them as a good team
With due respect, Miami was in Big East that year, and Big East was weak. SEC was all right back then, but it was Alabama vs Florida all the way. Big 10 was fun to watch that year. But no doubt, Michigan receiving corps is as good as (if not better) than Miami and Florida state
why does alexander not have his name on the back of his jersey? It looks wierd when everyone has theirs
That is a great question. Receiving corps: Michigan was much better, all Alabama had was David Palmer. Running game: I would say even. QB: Michigan all the way (Elvis Grbac) So offense Michigan was better. Defense: Defensive line and Linebackers: Maybe Alabama had the edge but not by much. Secondary: Bama was bit better. 1992 national championship was supposed to be Alabama vs Michigan. Remember back then BIG 10 is like SEC today. Miami only 1 big win against FL State that year.
bambang303378 would have been a great Game for sure!
Houston was kind of a cocky, fling-the-ball-all-over the field kind of team back then. Needless to say, they were a little overmatched that day.
his name got torn off by a cougar during a reception down the sideline
ty law had a great career but so did lamar smith and allen aldridge went on to have 2 superbowl rings with the broncos so even though as a whole the game was lopsided u of h had some good individual players and as you can see donnie avery was the first receiver drafted in last years draft !the coogs had to get rid of the nonsense coaches and now in 09 we would roll Michigan up!Michigan sux!
@WolverineHistorian 1 year after the death penalty for football as well...This year though I honestly think michigan would destroy houston, which i would not mind seeing. please put up 90.
That was Brent Musberger.
The scoreline in this game was payback for all the times Houston was RUTS on everybody over the past few years. As the old saying goes, what goes around, comes around!
4:48 what is #90 doing?
Also, the weather was absolutely horrible that day. It was snowing all over the place and no one could hang onto the ball. In good weather, we'd have won big.
John Jenkins was outcoached in that game and the cougar line was overmatched and d line was overmatched if you did see the game there were some good players on the u of h squad that actually went on to be good players in the nfl and cfl but out of the u of h team there were but a handful of really good players the rest were mediocre and it showed in the game.....i was a big fan of ryan mccoy,allen aldridge,lamar smith,Donald Douglas and keith jack and freddie gilbert.....
Houston = Epic Fail
@EricGoBlue There is. His name is Kirk Herbstreit. worst. announcer. ever.
Ohio State fans still haven't forgiven him for picking Arizona State to beat Buckeyes in 97 Rose Bowl.
