1971 Michigan-Ohio State THE DRIVE

Bob Ufer calls the game-winning drive in the 1971 Michigan-Ohio State Game as the Wolverines came from behind late in the 4th quarter to defeat the Buckeyes, 10-7. Michigan drove 72 yards for the winning score capped by Ufer's call of Billy Taylor's climatic run from 21-yards out. Enjoy and GO BLUE!!

I witnessed this 1971 game live and will always remember something very amazing that I experienced during Billy Taylor's final touchdown run into the end zone. Everything appeared to me to be happening in SLOW motion as he was running. I was not drinking or anything either. This is something that I will always remember. I suspect that the body produces many different natural chemicals during times of excitement.

Was at the game, as a kid. Amazing how UM blocked and ran on Taylor's td play - on a wet field on a cold day. Taylor's high-stepping in the end zone animated the crowd.

Bo Rather’s block on Taylor’s td run occupied 3 guys.

I was at that game, my sophomore year. What I remember more vividly than the scoring drive was what happened afterwards. OSU had the ball and was moving it successfully but then Tom Darden intercepted a pass that sealed Ohio's fate. Woody thought Darden had interfered with the receiver and went absolutely berserk, tearing up the first down chains and throwing them on the field, a preview of things to come for him. The stadium erupted and pandemonium ensued.

Woody should have been suspended for that stunt. Shame on spineless Wayne Duke for another display of his incompetence.

I really enjoyed hating Woody.

[@imaginationworker9144]

Other than being partisan, Bob Ufer was a magnificent announcer

[@Jleed989]

What a block!

[@Sungoku47]

I like that he referred to the buckeyes as “Ohio”

[@GEORGIADEMMDAWGS-BEATDOWN]

Ohio State refered to themselves as "Ohio" even on the scoreboard in Ohio Stadium at this time (up thru the mid to late 1980's)....😅....giggles!!! Ufer was being respectful!!! Even more giggles!!!!!

[@decline2state]

Interesting that the scoreboard showed the visiting team as "Ohio," not "Ohio State," "Ohio St," or even "OSU."

@Mark Scott Ohio State graduated one of the best classes in history in 1970. By the time the 1971 game rolled around in November, OSU was decimated by injuries and only 6-4 and not in the top 20. That could of had a decision in not airing the game...MU was a heavy favorite going in.

[@willowbrook2717]

@@ohiostsupremesuperdynasty7326 just like uhio was a heavy favorite going into the '69 game...but they aired that one anyway.
