Eight different Michigan players scored touchdowns. The team’s leading scorer, Albert Herrnstein, completed seven touchdowns (at this time they counted for only 5 points each; a 1912 rule change increased a touchdown’s value to 6 points). Kicker James Lawrence converted 19 points after touchdowns—more in one game than some kickers converted in an entire season. Outside of Michigan’s 1901 victory over Buffalo 128–0, the Michigan Alumnus called the game “the greatest fusillade of touchdowns ever known to the football world.”

Not many Michigan fans realize that this 119–0 victory was the biggest win in Michigan’s storied rivalry with Michigan State University. In 1925 Michigan Agricultural College would change its name to Michigan State College of Agricultural Science and Applied Science and then in 1964 to the now recognized Michigan State University.

What has been the biggest, most successful moment in your life so far? How were you able to reach that goal or achieve that dream?
