Game The Michigan Alumnus November 1902 63 https://books.google.com/books?id=KRviAAAAMAAJ Michigan was held on downs only once in the game, and the Aggies made only three first downs. Right halfback Albert Herrnstein ran back a kickoff the length of the field and scored seven touchdowns in the game. Willie Heston and Everett Sweeley did not play in the game, and the Detroit Free Press noted: "The opinion is quite general that if Heston and Sweeley had been in the game the Buffalo record would have been beaten, but, as it was, Michigan was simply fagged out running down the field for touchdowns." After the game, The Newark Advocate wrote:"Michigan has undoubtedly the fastest scoring team in the world, and the Ann Arbor boys play Yosts' 'hurry up' formations like clock work. It requires a fast team to take the ball, line up and score 119 points, even if they have no opponents in two 20 minute halves."Wednesday's Football Results The Newark Advocate October 9, 1902 References Michigan Agricultural Category:Michigan State Spartans football seasons Michigan Agricultural Aggies football
