from Bob WojnowskiMiracle comeback christens Rodriguez era
ANN ARBOR -- There's never been anything like it, not ever, not in Michigan Stadium, not something this stirring and shocking, from speechless to breathless in an astonishing shift.
Never has anything looked so bad, so hopeless, for a Michigan team, only to turn out so perfectly uplifting. Never have the Wolverines crawled out of a deeper hole at home, with everything teetering, a 1-3 record beckoning, and then suddenly it all changed.
When it was over and the Big House was awash in noise and Michigan players sprinted to the student section to celebrate the 27-25 comeback stunner over Wisconsin, it was pretty clear what we were witnessing -- a resuscitation.
This might not have been Rich Rodriguez's official stamp upon Michigan, but it sure felt like it. This might not even save a season, because the Wolverines still have major offensive inconsistencies and a 2-2 record. But when Rodriguez ran over to join his team, and then lifted his right arm and struck up the band in a rousing rendition of "The Victors," it sure looked like something was being born.
