Bump Elliott, a star halfback for Michigan who later was the Wolverines' coach, has died at age 94. The announcement was made by the University of Iowa, where Elliott had a 21-year run as athletic director.
Elliott died Saturday, according to a statement from his family that the Iowa released on Sunday. The statement did not include a cause of death.
Elliott won the Big Ten's MVP award in 1947 with Michigan. He became Michigan's coach in 1959 and led the Wolverines for 10 seasons, a tenure that included a Rose Bowl win in 1964.
Elliott was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
