Michigan football has an extensive history of winning championships, conference titles, and statues not recognized by anyone other than the Wolverines and their opponent.
Sometimes those statues come in the form of the Paul Bunyan trophy or the Golden Jug, and they signify so much more than anyone outside of that specific rivalry could possibly comprehend. The incredibly talented receivers drastically changed many of the outcomes of games on both teams.
There was the Michigan-Michigan State battle in 1991 where Desmond Howard caught two touchdowns and accumulated over 100 yards receiving leading the Wolverines over the Spartans 45-28.
