A total of 64 players have rushed for 3 touchdowns in a single game, so I didn't bother going any farther down the list.
Here are the five Haskins touchdowns against Ohio State:
On first blush, the absence of Tim Biakabutuka's name from that list is surprising. You'd think with his 313 yards against Ohio State in 1995 would have resulted in more than just one touchdown, but that's all he had.
ReplyDeleteI cut my teeth on Michigan football starting in 1973, and I started attending games in person in 1975. Rob Lytle remains my favorite player of all time.
