Shout out to all the blockers who did their jobs without penalties, the unsung heroes, and GO BLUE!!!!

[@Hanson586]

I forgot how fast #6 Wheatley was. He was moving.

[@waynewalton8798]

Best back at Michigan ever

[@samdriver1973]

The very first NCAA football game I watched was in 1989. Michigan was playing. They had a bad ass running back by the name of Tony Boles. I instantly became of fan of #42. I was 15 years old and I was hooked on the sport. I'm now about to be 42 years old and I still list Tony Boles as one of the greatest "but for serious injury" players I have ever seen."

[@markg.7865]

I remember Tony Boles, last I saw of him on tv, and he was in legal trouble. Hope he has turned his life around!

[@jivepatrol6833]

Sam - I agree. Tony was the fastest U of M running back of all time. I have seen them all as a long time fan and season ticket holder. He was in a backfield with Leroy Hoard and Jarrod Bunch - a couple of other excellent running backs. The ran a wishbone formation just to get all three in the game. If Tony got one step on the defender - he was gone! Kind Regards to you and Go Blue!

[@seanmcmonagle4012]

Tony Boles was a talent. Played in my high school conference. Kicked our ass for four years then became a Wolverine. I believe he had a knee injury that ended his college career.

[@gerfall]

Breaston is one of the best KR/PR OF ALL TIME.

[@jivepatrol6833]

I am a very long time season ticket holder and saw just about everyone of these plays in person. Tony Boles was the fastest U of M running back and kick returner I have ever seen in a straight line. People would be chasing him and he was actually accelerating past them! He was FAST! I think he ran the 40 in 4.2 seconds.... UNREAL! I love the video but it should include Anthony Carter and Charles Woodson too. I think AC, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson are the most explosive players ever for Michigan. Woodson is my top pick because he played both offense and defense and could take over a game!

[@rand49er]

That was my exact observation. I never realized just how fast he was!

[@rand49er]

Fast runners. I could watch this video all day every day. Go Blue!

[@danieldekok6949]

Of course you''d have to add the opening kickoff at this year's Northwestern game...

[@chrisrishmawi7078]

2:30 number 8 my goodness

[@sychly]

music killed it.

[@MrMagic1220]

And thus the best college football program ever was born

[@ThomasBridges-k2k]

This is just why I watched this college team . They always seemed to pick up fast kick returners.

[@markg.7865]

I don't even remember Seth Smith, but I know all the rest.

[@Tigersfan829]

[@mikeydapilot]

You mean to tell me that Howard's kick return against Ohio State in 1991 is not on this? (Face in palm)

[@dezznutz3743]

PR

[@Knightmessenger]

Man, I would have rather had this with the original radio audio, instead of some generic gyrating techno beat.

[@ericscottstevens]

Tony Boles, a career ruined by a knee injury when he was hit out of bounds.

[@MrBigStuff456]

@masejaber that was a punt return

[@elijahautaubo5790]

Music ruins it. I expected better from this poster

[@martinrheaume5393]

I would prefer the live call to the music

[@sherwoody14]

Wasn't that a punt return? Not the same, so take your face out of palm if it's still there after a year.

[@bestcoastsxmcp]
