- Highlights from the Michigan Wolverine's 1985 season. The team finished the season 10-1-1 and ranked number 2 in the AP Poll. The regular season finale was a 27-17 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. In the post season, the Wolverines were victorious over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Fiesta Bowl.
Quarterback Jim Harbaugh set a school record with 1,976 passing yards. Four Michigan defenders were selected as first-team players on the 1985 All-Big Ten Conference football team: Mike Hammerstein and Mark Messner from the defensive line, linebacker Mike Mallory, and Brad Cochran from the secondary.
One of the great Wolverine Defenses. Harbaugh to Kattus was awesome as well. Mike Hammerstein was a BEAST. Young freshman Messner made his presence felt early.
OSU fan here..... these guys are fun to watch. Much respect to the rivals.
As much as I dispise you bucknuts it's still nice to see our rivalry back
I always root for you guys against msu and always end up watching you during the season. Much respect given to your great tradition
Thank you brother . Goodluck vs Georgia. Let’s make it a Big Ten Championship game 🤝

Michigan 42 , ohio state 27, 2021,, michigan 45,, ohio state 23, 2022, georgia 42,, ohio state 41, 2022,,, michigan football. Fans had a great new years day, 2023
I met Bo when I was a kid...I even went past his house on the school bus everyday and...everyday, he walked out at the same time in the morning as we passed and picked up his newspaper in the driveway in his blue and maize bathrobe...those were the days.
Probably my favorite Michigan team. The 2nd half of the fiesta bowl was incredible
In this era of football it never looked like the players equipment, pads & uniforms fit them correctly. 😂 I love it tho!
They actually fit great and protected better than today's equipment.
🤣
@@TheShofixtiI doubt that
@@TheShofixti not judging by herschel walker's brain
did you hear how loud it was in the big house .....wow thats a diffrent kind of loud i didnt kno jim was this good as a qb he was nice
14 years in the NFL. Yeah he was nice
Yeah I remember these games like yesterday and Jim harbaugh was pretty good only thing he choked in the Rose bowl games.
Go Blue!
We were not on our phones.
@@cpodurnell3701 yeah but he beat Ohio 3 out of 4 times he played them. 🤣
Growing up in Michigan we lived and breathed Michigan football on a Saturday. When they won it was We are the Champions but when they lost it was Deacon Blues "I want a name when I lose"
The call Alabama the Crimson Tide!
❤ Jim Harbaugh player/ coach
It's crazy how even young people 37or 38 years ago look like men well into their late 20's early 30's.
Huge decline in testosterone
College-age Jim Harbaugh always looked like the villain from a John Hughes movie.
Good to see Iowa wasn’t a fan of TDs back then, either. 😂
They had one that never got called. Halverson scored I think but they didn’t call it and there was no replay.
You get Cade Macmanra for 2023..a great QB
@@TheShofixti he has 2 years of eligibility and I think possibly 3 if he gets a medical for the current season.
@@Yyyyyy5 Understood, just saying his 1st year with Iowa is 2023. And now Michigan has a real Threat in Iowa.
@@TheShofixti oh ok. I get what you mean . Sorry
This was my Joy as a Kid watching this from Pullman Michigan.....
❤ bo schembecher Michigan football 1970s/ 1980s
❤️ jim harbaugh great college footbal l coach& player
A very young Jim Harbaugh
Dude why do these college kids from the 80s look like 40 year old dudes.. I swear these kids today look soooo young…Also at 16:00 that would so be incomplete today
Yeah college kids today look like 13 year olds. Lol
Really? Feel like we got much more bigger stronger faster dudes kids are 6’7 in high school man
"The greatest leadership I've ever had" Bo talking about Harbaugh. I remember watching the games a few days after they were played while stationed in Honduras in 1985,
Greatest year for me
This music was also in multiple films of a certain genre in it's day! 🤠
school record of 1,976 passing yards. wow, the times have changed
Michigan should have been undefeated that year.
Define "should have", considering Iowa was screwed out of a first half touchdown when the ref ruled Helverson out of bounds when replays showed he was clearly in bounds.
Wonderful, thanks - much like what I saw last night (1/8/24) GO BLUE
Great team. But Jaime Morris saying this is now. This is the 80’s. So funny. I was on law school so a bit distracted. I remember studying and watching that Iowa game. That feels like 4 lifetimes ago.
I'm noticing the contrasting attitude of the players of that time with the current climate of opt outs and NILs. College football has become more of a business now.
But a much better brand of football!
Umm yeah they pay college players now. But southern schools have been doing this for Decades
@@TheShofixti Are you saying that northern schools have NOT been paying players for decades?
@11:37 how in the hell was that guy in college!? He looks 40!
He also was 40 in Grade school 💪🤒
What about 8:10? sheesh! lol.
Seriously. When you watch movies and college sports, everyone looked 40 lol. Grease had 30 year olds playing as high schoolers lmao
Damn ancient Egyptian face! Go Blue!
People aged faster back then so they looked older, however, they were smaller then across the board.
I remember that game in Champaign. You could hear the crowd from across town.
Back 2 back B1G ten champions. See you soon TCU
Damm Maryland was preseason #1. Probably only time EVER. Lol
Man glad for these old RUclips channels I didn't even know that. Shocking!
I'm old enough to have lived during this time and even *I* didn't realize it. That's what it's like when you don't have the internet and social media to make everything global. These days everyone knows about every top programs in college football and how they got there. That Michigan 2021 team came out of nowhere just like this '85 team.
@@atbsigma there’s times I really miss them moments with the sports section of the newspaper.
It can get better 13-0 better GO BLUE BABY
Harbaugh and McCarthy very similar
Harbaugh running the triple option - that was football in the 1980’s
There are rumors, that Big Jim H, said JJ MCARTY. CANNOT WATCH HIS OLD VIDEOS. HE DOES NOT WANT JJ TO RUN
@@TheShofixti based on what I've seen this year, I'm thinking that probably isn't the case anymore. I see VERY similar runs from JJ that Coach Harbaugh did as a player. Coach must've opened the vault and said 'this is how I used to do it, son!'
Good grief players were so much smaller in 1985!
So much tougher too!
LOL. Some of those players look to be in their mid 20's. Go Blue!
You mean mid-40s.
I just replied the same thing before seeing this, wild how they look to be like 27-28 year olds.
When you actually had a lot of seniors on your team. The good ol' days. 🟨🟦
@@johnhutchison9782 Yeah. That's the way is was then.
This Bo KNOWS TOO
This was back when the Big10, Big8, SW and Pac10 were the power conferences. The SEC and ACC we’re right behind them though. Now it’s flip flopped SEC, ACC Big10 are the power conferences with PAC 12 and Big12 trying to keep up.
Actually at least this year 2022 the Pac12 has as many top25 teams as anybody. Yes the bowls will be revealing but.........Also not sure where you get off saying the ACC is a power conference............Far fewer teams in the top25 than the pac12.
15:57 "catch", as defined by 1985 standards.
There was nothing like being in Columbia SC watching Bo and Michigan blow out The Gamecocks!
that background music is lit
Good 80's memories. I remember taking my BMX bike to the game and had it stolen but YO!! I wasn't really mad cause my Wolverines won 👍🏾
Go Blue! A true fan taking the good with the bad. Sorry about to BMX, I had one to in those days
👍
Bmx was all the rage in the 80’s those were high quality and expensive happiest moment as a kid was getting a bmx mongoose that’s devastating
Was that Brandstatter narrating this
I'm pretty sure it is! Love that voice
Yes its brandstatter
He played on the 69 season
11:15 LMAO, the REF accidentally T-Bagging the QB after he was sacked!
11:10 - Even the ref draggin em across the QBs face
Lovin those helmets
Is that a young jim brandstatter doing the commentary?
If I recall correctly, Jim reached out to try to grab a fumbled football and a football player jumped to get the ball as well, and landed on Jim's arm and broke it. Not sure what year that was.
All those Michigan players been wearing the same mustaches and since the 80s all the way up till now
Probably wouldnt have beaten the 1985 champ Oklahoma but likely would have given them a tougher game than PSU did (who lost 10-25 in the Orange Bowl). Probably something like 24-17, 24-20, or 21-17. 1985 Michigan was the real deal.
Is it my imagination, or did they wear more protection back then? Their heads look tiny compared to their bodies.
@@PaulCotton Agreed
The size of the shoulder pads as well as the other protective equipment were reduced. Not as restrictive but the protection level suffers.
Do you remember those shoulder pads
Yeah more than 100 Thousand Michigan Fans will do that. Ancient Rome at most only had 60,000 Spectators.
Lol the ref at 11:14
Yea, did the NCAA bother checking birth certificates on this team. These guys look so old to be in college. A few of the guys look as old as me and I’m 38!!!
How about brad cochrin tho
The preseason #1 was Maryland. 🤔
I don't remember that. I would have swore the preseason #1 that year was Iowa.
BET. .Go Blue... Who's got it better...
#1 maryland?
So he's always been a dork?
Players were bigger
shoulder pads were bigger
@3:33 what is she cheering?
What! No dancing?
Oh heck naw... notice how each TD the player finds an official and dumps the ball to him? Same in 2022 but they got this whole defense picture thing on the sidelines after a turnover now.
Ego wasn’t glamorized back then.
What freshman wide receiver was the only freshman to catch a winning td against Ohio state? ......that's right John Kolesar.
Freshman caught a TD this year too!
Yes kolesar what's that dude, I want to can I find the highlight of them being Ohio State in Ohio stadium when the Ohio State thought it was about to win the last second kolesar pictures of touchdown.
Catches a touchdown
Look like cade 🤣🤣
Did he say # 1 Maryland 😅😅😅😅😅
For all the people saying they look older back then:
This is a phenomena that is due to culture. Because todays culture see these clothes and styles as “old” anyone who wears it is also seen as older. Basically because we relate the style to an older time period our brain adjusts ages to be older to fit our preconceived notion to go with the time period.
It's not the clothes lol it's thier physical appearance. There's been a huge decline in testosterone since then.
@@gomer921 can you refer me to a study you’re talking about? Sounds like an interesting read.
@@baileyduvall01 I tried, can't post links on here. Just search testosterone decline
GO HAWKS!!
Bo...Never went for the gusto that's why he never won a National title! To conservative with great teams 🙄
They actually did win a national championship with this team but its unclaimed and will remain so.
@@scranberry6536 unclaimed means no National title...Give me a claimed rather than a unclaimed( 1997) .
I didn't like Jim tn 1985
Dont like him today either
And you must not be a Wolverine either. so what.
Now michigan plays Hawaii Colorado state Connecticut under hairbrains
Don't forget we whoop Ohio state's ass under him too. Illinois put up a better challenge. Sheesh.
@@stedman8778 Illinois is a basketball school (fortunately now that it's almost December, unfortunately starting in mid April) and always will be for better or worse. When you consider who Illini have to recruit against for big time players(ND, Mich, & OSU ) it's not surprising when you couple their run of ordinary at best coaches w/that recruiting disadvantage that Illini are swimming against the current Football wise. One thing is at least in 90s for most of decade they had some real defensive talent,esp LBs. But this year under Bielema was a surprise & we'll see if he capitalizes on it.
What are you saying today Mickey? Looks like that super soft schedule wasn't so soft after all. Typical sparty fan. Typical
@@willowbrook2717 michigan had no injuries in those sissy games why even waste the time playing high school teams??????
@@mickeyjackson9318 who would reasonably expect a team to have injuries within the first 3 games of the season anyway? It happens, but it's rare. And based on the way they dominated, looks like they played high school teams all year. 〽️🔵
Students looked a lot older back in those days. looked like they had guys in their late 30's early 40's lol
Lol, my theory: they were all smoking heaters back then. 3 packs a day will turn you into a gargoyle pretty quick, lol.
God Bless Bo, Love Michigan for LIFE, GO BLUE
Bowl Loser Shembechler was so over rated
...compared to what coaches do these days, maybe. But all Coach Bo cared about was winning Championships in the Big Ten. If his team could then go west or south or wherever and rattle off a win against some other school, it was icing on the cake.
