Tight End Butt Makes Program History

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Nearing the end of the third quarter, the Wolverines held a substantial lead against the Terrapins, 38-0. With little pressure, junior quarterback Wilton Speight took his time in the pocket, searching for his next target. He found it in senior tight end Jake Butt for a pickup of 15 yards on the play.

It wasn't a glitzy play. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't too prominent of a play. But it was clean, it moved the chains, and it made Michigan history.
