You’ve probably heard Bob Ufer’s famous rant about wanting to “scalp those Buckeyes” after Ohio State had the “unmitigated gall” to tear down Michigan’s M Club banner before the 1973 edition of The Game in Ann Arbor. The longtime Michigan radio commentator was nearly as apoplectic just one year earlier when the Buckeyes made what would prove to be a game-winning goal-line stand against the Wolverines.
With the Wolverines trailing by three points early in the fourth quarter against the Buckeyes, Michigan’s Harry Banks was stopped just short of the goal line on a 3rd-and-goal run from the 1-yard line.
