Newsstand: David Cone shares story from Bo Schembechler's final speech to Michigan team
Tweets Of The Day
Former Michigan quarterback David Cone shares his thoughts on the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry and shares a story from the legendary Bo Schembechler’s final speech to the team before passing away the week of the game in 2006.
Former Michigan running back Biakabutuka had a fantastic 1995 season, headlined by an explosion of production against the Buckeyes, one of the best individual performances by a U-M player against Ohio State. He rushed a whopping 37 times for 313 yards in a 31-23 win. Credit the offensive line, too, which opened massive holes to spring their star back.
That same game, a freshman cornerback named Charles Woodson had 2 interceptions, including the game-sealer on 4th and 10 with the Buckeyes driving with only a minute left. That foreshadowed another great performance against his home state team that was to come.

Michigan football has come a long way in the last 20 months. Since the dismal 2020 season ended with a 2-4 record, the Maize and Blue have won 23 of their last 25 games — the program’s best 25-game stretch since the 1970s — won the 2021 Big Ten championship, appeared in the College Football Playoff and got off to an 11-0 start this year for the first time since 2006. They’ve won 13-straight Big Ten games, Michigan’s most since 1996-98, a run that included a national championship.
They’re headed down to Columbus Friday for a Saturday showdown with arch rival Ohio State, marking just the fourth time that both teams have been undefeated entering ‘The Game’ since they began playing on the final weekend of the regular season in 1935.
MGoBlueTV’s report ahead of Michigan vs. Ohio State:
Quote Of The Day
“There’s no need to hate, be grateful for the opponent. It’s like superheroes, it’s through a strong opponent that you get to find out who you are. They have a lot of players that are really good. They’ve got great players, we’ve got great players. They have great coaches, we have great coaches. They have players with Heisman habits, we have players with Heisman habits. Congratulations. Be grateful to have the opportunity to play in this kind of big game.”
