This was the game that defined the Schembechler era. I was eight years old at the time of this game, and it made me a Michigan fan now being 54 years later. Go Blue!💙🏈

I was a jr. in college in the fall of 1969, and I watched this game on TV. It was an unusual game--all the scoring happened in the first half. But it was Pierson's punt return in the 2nd period that broke Ohio State's back, and their spirit. After that, Michigan, a 17-point underdog against "the greatest college team of all time," knew they could win. And they did. One of the greatest games ever played.

[@garrison6863]

Barry Pierson had the game of his life here. Michigan was a really underrated team going in. So many good players on that team. Both offense and defense.

[@jamo2006]

You know you're a die-hard Wolverine fan when you can watch a 33 year old video game and still cheer like it's happening live.

[@wwlll8248]

Love it! We're going to to do it again this Saturday.

[@ikarooz]

Watching after seeing the 11-25-2023 statement win over..... that school down south, is satisfying. ALWAYS GOOOOOO BLUUUUUE!😊

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Little known subplot about this game- it contributed to that famous Texas/Arkansas game of the century being for the national title.

[@rogerwilliams5366]

I remember watching this game in 7th grade. Ohio State was being hyped as the “Greatest team in College Football History”. Michigan kicked their butts; Michigan was actually more dominant than the score indicates. That was the day I learned what an overrated, over-hyped program Ohio State was then and continues to be almost 50 years later.

HIGH quality film. I can't believe this is from 69! Looks better than a 96 game

[@2cjcdotcom]

Wow gotta go way back for this. 😂

[@nathaniellathy6559]

All those interceptions by Ohio State QBs in this game.Pass plays were buried in OSU playbook next 😳 season

[@oneputtsteven]

Famous Pierson punt return at 4:45

[@otisgreer8429]

Had Bo won 5 National Tittles none would have been as big as this game. This is the signature win for this program.

[@jln55]

Lots of future NFL players in this game: Ron Johnson, Thom Darden, Nick Roman, Mike Sensibaugh, Dan Dierdorf, Jack Tatum,Jim Mandich, Jim Otis and others.

[@russs811]

Ron Johnson graduated the season prior.

[@ryanbarbieri5525]

Gee, the Announcer Bill Fleming sounds like he's the Ohio State PR guy

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Only because he thought they were going to win

[@mstevens24]

Classic game, one of the first Bo games I ever watched when my dad bought it.

[@gargould7186]

My very first UM game, I was 12 years old, I have been hooked on UM football ever since, the stage is set for a replay of that game in a couple of weeks, David vs Goliath.

[@Hoest52]

Barry Pierson is my football coach!

[@ESLTeacherTom]

Strange to see dat astro turf!

The The Game

[@ovalvox7888]

I’m sure Woody had a hard time swallowing this one. Michigan manhandled this overrated bunch.

[@lloydkline1518]

Bo schembecher said he knew how to beat Ohio state &woody Hayes in 1969

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Yikes.What happened to the Buckeyes this day? By late 70s it was time ⏲️😪for Ohio State fans to get used to losing big games.Ohio State only lost to Michigan once in next 6 years.

[@jamesbowen8960]

Absolutely stunning blonde at 9:14

[@DNSKansas]

Actually, it's more than 43 years old

[@shsbluejayforever06]

Did you run his old offense and defense?

[@dougblack3966]

[@dougblack3966]
