Brady threw for 369 yards in his final college game against Alabama in the Orange Bowl. He completed 34 of 46 passes, which ranked third in school history at the time and ninth in program history today. "How perfectly fitting.

Rankings from AP PollThe 1999 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. The team's head coach was Lloyd Carr.
The Wolverines played their home games at Michigan Stadium. That year Michigan Wolverines football competed in the Big Ten Conference in almost all intercollegiate sports including men's college football. The 1999 Wolverines finished the season with a 10–2 record (6–2 in the Big Ten) and defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl. The team was ranked #5 in both the final coaches and AP polls. The team was led by All-American and Academic All-American Rob Renes and his co-captains Tom Brady and Steve Hutchinson.
Marcus Knight tied Desmond Howard and Anthony Carter for the school record with three consecutive 100-yard reception games. Braylon Edwards would post four in 2003 and 2004. Tom Brady concluded his career by breaking his own single-game pass completions record with the current record of 34 against Alabama in the January 1, 2000 Orange Bowl. The game marked the tenth 4-touchdown passing performance in school history, a feat that is still unsurpassed by any Michigan quarterback. For the season, he tied his own single-season completions record set the prior season and broken by John Navarre in 2002. He also set the single-season passing yards per game record of 215.5, surpassing Jim Harbaugh's 209.9 in 1986 and broken by Navarre in 2002.
He broke Todd Collins' career 200-yard game record of 14 set in 1994 by one, a record broken by Navarre during his junior season in 2002. The team set the current NCAA single-season all-time home attendance record with an average of 111,175. "Every time the Wolverines have teetered under Carr, they've recovered, with this season one of the toughest tests," wrote Wojnowski at the conclusion of Michigan's 1999 season.
"Carr was scrutinized weekly about his quarterback juggling. Ultimately, Tom Brady played well, and despite huge holes in the running game and secondary, U-M won big games." As a junior at Michigan, Tom Brady set the school record for most passing yards in a game and it came on the road against rival Ohio State of all opponents. Brady completed 31-of-56 attempts for 375 yards, a mark that now ranks sixth in program history. "But the Wolverines had no ground game, gaining 45 yards rushing and losing 41 for a net of 4," reporting the Lansing State Journal. There have been a lot of stud college football players from the state of Pennsylvania.
Marlin Jackson was no exception as he ended up being the second all-time leader in pass breakups in the history of Michigan football. Though I am an Ohio State Buckeye fan, as I have matured and grown older, I realize that the Michigan Wolverine football program is one of the greatest programs in the history of college football. No team in all of college football has accumulated more wins than the Wolverines, and their 11 claimed national titles exemplify their success.

If football games were determined by prognosticators, the 1999 Spartan football team will wind up sixth in the Big Ten.

Wistert was a two-time All-American and a two-time national champion, despite being one of the oldest players to ever play college football. After spending four years in the U.S. Marines, Alvin Wistert played defensive tackle for a 1947 Wolverine team that went undefeated in route to a national championship.
The 1947 team is nicknamed "The Mad Magicians" and is recognized as the greatest Michigan football team of all time. Not allowing a single sack in either his junior or senior season, the two-time All-American is one of the most tenacious offensive lineman in Michigan football history. Here are the final undefeated DI men's college basketball teams from every season since 2000, and a ranking of which of those 23 teams is the best. But Saban syas that 'overall, there's plenty of room for improvement' - such as better production in kickoff return and more consistency. Competing for the other defensive backfield posts are cornerback Cedric Henry (5-10, 183) and free safety Richard Newsome (5-11, 191), who enjoyed a productive spring.
Senior cornerback Amp Campbell (6-0, 200), who suffered a cervic-spinal injury against Oregon last season, could be eligible to play if he graduates by summer semester. Hamilton holds the conference record for fields goals made in a season with 25, and he holds the school record with 14 consecutive made field goals. On top of his defensive capabilities, Welborne was an excellent return man who returned 67 punts for 773 yards.
He even set Michigan's single-season record for punt return yards in 1990 with 455. There's no wonder why Welborne was a two-time All-Big 10 selection. Being a two-time consensus All-American selection ( ), the stud recorded 238 tackles during his three years as a starter for the Wolverines, averaging close to seven tackles per game. He also intercepted nine passes, often bringing them back for huge chunks of yardage. It's hard not to mention a guy who started in more games than just about any player in Michigan football history.

Nick Myers (6-2, 275) could take over at left defensive end. Others include tackle Josh Shaw and ends Hubert 'Boo Boo' Thompson and Raheem Miller.

The highlight of Hamilton's career, however, came in the 1994 season against Notre Dame when he kicked a 42-yard field goal to give the Wolverines a 26 to 24 lead as time expired. If one was in need of a punter who could give their team good field position after a three and out, Zoltan Mesko would be an excellent resource. During his senior season, opposing teams' quarterbacks threw less than 14 percent of their passes in his direction.
Erick Anderson is the only player in Michigan football history to lead the Wolverines in tackles for four straight seasons. That's saying a lot when you consider Michigan's rich football tradition. By the time he was a senior , Jackson was so feared in the secondary that quarterbacks only threw 14 percent of their passes in his direction. Nevertheless, he still ended up being a first team All-Big 10 selection, as well as a consensus first-team All-American. In route to winning the 1997 national championship with the Wolverines, Woodson became the only player on the defensive side of the ball to ever win the Heisman trophy.

LaMarr Woodley was yet another first-team All-Big Ten selection on this list, and he was one of the most feared defensive lineman in the country during his tenure in the maize and blue. Rushing for 4,178 yards on just 688 career attempts in his career, Wheatley averaged a whopping 6.1 yards per carry. That's more yards per carry than any running back that ever started for at least one season at Michigan. Known for having great hands, the possession and deep-threat receiver acquired more yards receiving, more receptions and more touchdown catches than anyone in Michigan football history.
He also set the single-season Michigan record for both receptions and receiving yards in 2004. Up front and personal best describes David Baas on the football field. Considering the fact that Baas was moved from the left guard to the center position half way through his senior season, it's amazing how much success he has had. Jake Long was a force to be reckoned with, and he is a big reason why running back Mike Hart is now the leading rusher in Wolverines history. Do you have a sports website?

Michigan has had its fair share of top-notch quarterbacks, so this one was a hard one to choose.
However, when evaluating the résumés of the former Wolverine signal callers, Rick Leach's is the most impressive. Despite not being highly regarded or widely known, Neil Snow was a huge contributor to the Wolverine offense in his day. However, skill wise, Tyrone Wheatley was the best running back in the history of Michigan football.
