Schedule
y October 6 Detroit CollegeThe Michigan State Media Guide erroneously refers to the opponent as the Detroit Athletic Club. Contemporary coverage confirms that the opponent was actually Detroit College (later renamed the University of Detroit). Confusion may have resulted from the fact that Detroit College in 1910 played its home games on the Detroit Athletic Club's field. n College Field East Lansing, MI W 35–0 Fails To Score Against Aggies: Detroit College is Beaten at Lansing by One-Sided Score Detroit Free Press October 7, 1910 9 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/15825012/fails_to_score_against_aggies/ Newspapers.com October 8 1910 Alma Maroon and Cream Alma College Field East Lansing, MI W 11–0 All Aggies' Points Scored by Hill Detroit Free Press October 9, 1910 21 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/15829606/all_aggies_points_scored_by_hill/ Newspapers.com October 15 Michigan Ferry Field Ann Arbor, MI (rivalry) L 3–6 October 22 1910 Lake Forest Foresters Lake Forest College Field East Lansing, MI W 37–0 Lake Forest Is Unable To Score Detroit Free Press October 23, 1910 20 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/15829559/lake_forest_is_unable_to_score/ Newspapers.com October 29 Notre Dame College Field East Lansing, MI (rivalry) W 17–0 Farmers Mop Field with Longman's Men Detroit Free Press October 30, 1910 15 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/15829522/farmers_mop_field_with_longmans_men/ Newspapers.com November 5 Marquette Milwaukee, WI W 3–2 Victory by One Point: M.

After a scoreless first half, the Aggies blocked two Michigan punts in the third quarter. On the second occasion, Michigan kicked from its 50-yard line, and the low punt was blocked and rolled to Michigan's 12-yard line where the Aggies' left tackle Campbell recovered the ball. After Michigan stopped two runs, the Aggies' right halfback, Hill, kicked a field goal from the 21-yard line. The Aggies' maintained a 3–0 into the fourth quarter. With less than five minutes left in the game, Michigan's Shorty McMillan completed a pass to Stanley Borleske who ran 50 yards to the Aggies' 15-yard line. Don Green then carried the ball to the three-yard line. Due to a penalty, the Wolverines had five unsuccessful chances to score the touchdown after advancing to the three-yard line. Michigan then lined up for a field goal, but the play was a fake. Green took the snap from center and ran for the touchdown. Conklin kicked the extra point, and Michigan won by a score of 6 to 3.
