Inside the Snow Bowl (1950) | MVictors History Show

With winter bearing down on the midwest the 1950 Snow Bowl comes to mind. For the next episode of the show, a quick look at this very significant game in the Ohio State-Michigan football rivarly.

Backdrop: Two days before the November 25, 1950 game in Columbus a brutal snowstorm buried the midwest, shutting down much of this part of the country. Despite this U-M and OSU decided to play this game – basically a chess match of short plays followed by risky punts. A punt block late in the 2nd quarter was the difference in the 9-3 Wolverine victory over the Buckeyes.
