But those yearly gaffes and gags against the Wolverines are ancient history. At least I thought they were until boos cascaded down upon Cooper from a record Ohio Stadium throng Saturday night as he ... Read More

The only touchdown came off a blocked punt return. Looking back at previous games, things haven’t been much better. There was the debacle at Southern Cal with the offense getting just three points, the late ... Read More
