1971 Michigan-Ohio State THE DRIVE

the score now is Ohio seven Michigan three Michigan in ten games this year has never been behind going into the fourth quarter in any ball game that they have played in 1971 we'll see what the Wolverines are made of will be fourth down and one an Ohio State now brings in number 92 and that means Gary leggo the fine punter of the Buckeyes he said some booming punts out here this afternoon as last one went 440 yards he had one shanked punt for 17 yards that Michigan could do nothing about there is a snap back to the 26 yard line and he punched the ball a high lawn when not too deep a fair catch by Bruce Elliot at the 28 yard line first and ten for the maize and blue well they're 20 yards further downfield they were the last time they started their drive it's a 31-yard kick in Michigan with seven minutes and six seconds remaining on both of the scoreboards here have the ball on their own 28 yard line at quarterback it is still Larry CIPA Willie Taylor for Cypress and Glen Doughty wide to the left is pro rata the ends are in tighten a balanced life it's Taylor deep and ciphers close with rather playing halfback there is Billy Taylor going wide and Taylor can't find Running Room he's hit it 230 and upended at the 31 yard line Ohio State flowing beautifully with our offensive formations as they have three men back there Cagle Gradishar and white all flowing knocking down the interference and hairy Howard made the tackle on Billy Taylor a fine solo tackle and so Michigan now was 2nd down and 7 is Taylor picked up three yards as the ball 18 yards in from the eastern sideline Ohio a 7th Michigan has 3 6 minutes and 35 seconds remaining wide to the right is beau rather Michigan has the wishbone T in the backfield Larry CIPA now with the ends in tight takes a long count thanks to his fullback now goes back for the past throws the long bob to see more he can't get there paul Seymour was open but he couldn't run hard enough to catch the ball Carl Kern was covering and Paul Seymour the big end who was caught five passes in 71 just couldn't catch up to that well thrown she was all alone and he had the Sun in front of him actually he wasn't looking into the Sun and he just didn't catch up to that ball it was beautifully thrown dick just actually slowed up just a little Bob about the two steps kind of looking back over his shoulder had a bad angle and that was just enough here it is 37 they're blocking zippers back gives the tailor tailor need seven and he does get it I believe he needed seven and we're on calling right around the 39-yard line this drive started on the 29-yard line there unpiloted on there and you'll hear a hushed crowd here while they're measuring suppose we call time in for the men who bring you Michigan football every Saturday over this the Michigan football Network our own 39 yard line tailor deep cyphers clothes dowdy at the wing the ends are in tight in the ballad slide there goes Taylor with four blockers he's up over the 40 and gets to the 43 yard line for blockers in front of Billy Taylor a shared power through the right side very reminiscent of Fritz Kreisler single wing offense back in the 1940s V crop made the tackle for Ohio State Michigan is now 57 yards away with 5 minutes and 36 seconds remaining on the digital scoreboards at either end of this huge stadium up over the ball comes guy Murdock the line follows the ends are in tight the line is balanced this Taylor deep ciphers close the quarterback is Larry CIPA taking plenty of time handing off this time to the full-back Cypress and he picks up two and a half yards to the 45 yard line before Gradishar makes the tackle 5 minutes and 13 seconds remaining ohio state 7 michigan 3 the ball was taken into the hash line at the 45 yard line michigan taking plenty of time in the offensive cut oh here comes bowl rather with a play as the michigan coaches now are certainly scratching their heads here trying to figure out how they can move 55 yards they have plenty of time wide to the left is go rather 3rd and 4 they need for the worst way CIPA is back a roll out of fake and sipper is going to throw downfield and it's quite by rather at the 35 and he's out of bounds of the 34 yard line that was a clutch third down play by Larry ship up and he was open he being Bo rather down in the 35 Larry shipper throwing right-handed but running to his left cocked his arm and threw the pass it was quite 5o rather who was thrown out of bounds by dick cipher and Michigan has the ball in the Buckeye 33 yard line with 4 minutes and 41 seconds remaining and tension has never been higher not since 1939 is any ball game between Michigan and Ohio State been so close why do the right is Bo rather the ends are in tight wishbone Y in the backfield CIPA keeps the ball he keeps it now and he's down to the 30 and he's hit right there at the 30 yard line going out of bounds to stop the clock they're claiming though he didn't go out of bounds he rolled out after he hit so the clocks continue to go Cypress rolled him out of bounds at the 30 there are 4 minutes and 24 seconds remaining michigan and ohio state in 1939 michigan came from behind a 14 to nothing halftime lead of ohio state's to tie it up 14 to 14 and with 28 seconds remaining beretti trois co held a fake field goal by tom harmon and scooted 27 yards into the Buckeye endzone going the same direction as Michigan's going now Shuttlesworth in the backfield now there is the handoff to easy and he fakes it and they give it off this time to Taylor and Taylor's hit at the 27 yard line Gradishar makes the tackle there unpiloted 3 minutes and 51 seconds remaining at the 28 yard line Michigan's backfield has Billy Taylor at left half Shuttlesworth is fullback Doughty at the right half back position with Larry stupid quarterback well rather comes out of the ball game along with Glenn dowdy they both come out of the ball game wide to the left is Oldham it's Taylor deep and Shuttlesworth closed in CIPA is under center with 3rd and 5 sipper now looks over the defense pitches off to Taylor and Taylor skirts to the outside he cuts back in and he doesn't make it though he goes to the 24 yard line the series started remember at the 33 yard line of Ohio State so it will be fourth down in the body yard to go here comes Doughty in for Oldham it's fourth down in one horse down in one and Michigan needs this is Ohio State lead 7 to 3 2 minutes and 44 seconds remaining in Zinn tighten the balance line they need to win the art with Taylor deep in Cypress closed Larry stepping out under Center at quarterback he gives the ball off the cypress and cypress makes it cypress determined senior that he is needed a yard and he got it to the 21 yard line 2 minutes and 34 seconds remaining and that's an automatic timeout on a first down they're spotting the ball here comes ball rather in that was a dramatic situation for Michigan they haven't had many more in their 92 years of football 2 minutes and 25 seconds remaining it's a cliffhanger here from ann arbor a barn burner caught it what you will wide to the right is flow rather it's Taylor deep in cypress close Larry CIPA under center and a balanced life simple rolls out to the right pitches off to Taylor and Tennessee put it down in the 15 now the 10 5 4 3 2 a text that bellies better let's God Billy Taylor Billy Taylor scored a touchdown for 21 yards out the crowd goes berserk Michigan leaves 9 to 7 oh man you pers been broadcasting for 27 years I have never seen anything like this 32 years ago in 1939 Ohio State when Michigan and the Wolverines came back in the last 27 seconds to beat Ohio State 21 to 14 and 32 years later Michigan trailing with two minutes remaining 7 to 3 come back upfield and they marched 80 yards and they have gone into the Buckeye endzone for the first time this afternoon and believe me my eyes you know I'm an old man I've got maize and blue spots right in front of me right now Tom Slade is kneeling they declined on extra point he has 53 out of 53 on the season there it is that it is good stain applied keeps a perfect season record in fact Michigan leads 10 to 7 and we pause for a word over this the very Mason blue Michigan football Network
