Michigan Wolverines Greatest Football Wins Ever

Michigan has one of the richest histories in college football. The Wolverines have amassed 884 wins, which is more than any other program, and 11 national championships... — bleacherreport.com

Michigan Wolverines' football history is a tapestry woven with legendary victories, each thread showcasing grit, talent, and the unwavering maize and blue spirit. Choosing the "greatest" win is subjective, but several games stand out for their significance, drama, and enduring impact.

1. The Upset in the Horseshoe: 1922 - Michigan 19, Ohio State 0

This iconic 1922 clash wasn't just a win; it was a statement. The Wolverines, led by coach Fielding H. Yost, spoiled Ohio State's stadium dedication game, silencing the raucous Buckeye crowd with a dominant 19-0 shutout. The victory cemented Michigan's dominance in the rivalry and cemented the legend of Yost as a defensive mastermind.

2. The Snow Bowl: 1950 - Michigan 9, Ohio State 3

Blistering winds and inches of snow blanketed Michigan Stadium in 1950, but the Wolverines' determination burned brighter. Willie Heston's iconic touchdown run amid the whiteout secured a 9-3 victory and the Big Ten title for Michigan. The "Snow Bowl" became a testament to Wolverine's resilience and a chilling reminder of the power of home-field advantage.

3. Desmond Howard's Heisman Return: 1991 - Michigan 35, Ohio State 13

Desmond Howard's electrifying punt return for a touchdown in 1991 wasn't just a play; it was a Heisman Trophy moment. With the Wolverines trailing 13-10 in the fourth quarter, Howard weaved through stunned Buckeye defenders, igniting a 25-point Michigan rally and solidifying his path to college football's most prestigious award.
