Last Saturday, I photographed the Michigan football game against 
Cincinnati. I left my apartment at 9:30 a.m. and did not get home 
until 5:30 p.m. In between, I found myself on the field of the Big 

House, dodging footballs as they flew off the field and snapping over 

1000 photos. 

The team huddles on the field before returning to the locker for the last time before the game.

Photographers use the same tunnel entrance to the field as the players. Fellow Daily photographer Sam 
Mousigian and I walk out 45 minutes before game to ensure we don’t get trampled.

The sidelines often get crowded with TV crews, photographers, cheerleaders and the players vying for 
space.

A view of the student section from the field.
The sideline is packed with photographers and everyone must stay off of the field.

After the game, senior quarterback Wilton Speight shakes hands with a Cincinnati player.
Everyone follows the team back into the tunnel. The team goes into the locker room, and everyone else 
goes into the media rooms.
