Michigan would lose one game in
1964-to Ohio State. And even
after the first quarter had gone
by few people suspected that it
would be Purdue that would lend
the Wolverines their only black
mark for the year. But a quarter-
back named Griese pulled the
Spoilermaker upset, and the 65,000
persons leaving Michigan Stadium
following the 21-20 loss would
have tossed their Pasadena tickets
to the wind.
The Impossible
It seemed almost impossible:
Michigan had to win the remain-
der of its games (including Il-
linois, Iowa and Ohio State in
rapid succession) while Purdue
had to lose two in order for the
Wolverines to get the trip. But
the Boilermakers, who have never
Michigan's entire starting back-
field was prepped in Ohio, and
with cries from the Buckeyes of
"stolen" football players, the Wol-
verines rolled into town for the
championship deciding game. The
first half-played in 20-degree
weather with a stiff wind-was
all seesaw until Rein lost hold df
Kemp's kick and Timberlake took
advantage of the break to pass
for the lone Michigan TD.
Insurance
The Wolverine signal-caller
booted a field goal in the second
half to put the game out of reach,
but it was defensive half Rick
Volk who keyed the Michigan sec-
ondary against the rallying Buck-
eyes late in the game with a pair
of key interceptions.
