On November 20, 1971, the Buckeyes visited Ann Arbor for the third edition of the Ten Year War. Late in the game with Michigan trailing, Billy Taylor shot around the right side, picked up a couple of blocks and scored one of the greatest TDs in team history.
Here’s the play with Bob Ufer’s legendary call, arguably his second most memorable after Wangler-to-Carter:
As great as that is and was, it didn’t seal the game.
The Buckeyes still had the opportunity to erase ‘Touchdown Billy Taylor’ from the Michigan lexicon. They got the ball back with a chance to tie or win the game, but U-M safety Thom Darden wouldn’t have it.
