Lejeune. The Wolverines, who went on to an undefeated season and a national championship, defeated the Marines, 26–6. The Marines took the opening kickoff and drove 89 yards for a touchdown, using "a bewildering aerial and line attack." The Marines' touchdown was the only one scored on Michigan during the entire 1923 season. The Marines led 6–0 at the end of the first quarter, but Michigan then scored 26 unanswered points. Quarterback Irwin Uteritz led Michigan's comeback, scoring a touchdown in the second quarter on a dive between center Jack Blott's legs. Uteritz later left the game with a broken leg and was replaced by Tod Rockwell at quarterback. When Rockwell came into the game, Michigan lined up for a field goal with Rockwell holding the ball. As the Marines came through to block the kick, Rockwell jumped to his feet and ran the ball 26 yards for a touchdown.Billy Evans Won Fame On First Big Ten Play Iowa City Press-Citizen December 8, 1923 8 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/44031195/won_fame_on_first_big_ten_play/ February 11, 2020 newspapers.comMichigan Defeats Marines By 26–6: 42,000 See the Wolverines Rally After Opponents Tally First Touchdown; Notables Attend Game The New York Times November 11, 1923 https://www.nytimes.com/1923/11/11/archives/michigan-defeats-marines-by-266-42000-see-the-wolverines-rally.html subscriptionMarines Crack Under Terrific Attack of Wolverine Warriors: Michigan Eleven, Swept Off Its Feet by Naval School Team in First Period, Stages Brilliant Comeback and Wins Easily by 26 to 6 Score The Davenport Democrat and Leader (Iowa) November 11, 1923 24 Notes References External links Video of 1923 Michigan game Quantico Category:Quantico Marines Devil Dogs football seasons Quantico Marines Devil Dogs football
