2004 Michigan Wolverines football team
The 2004 Michigan Wolverines football team was an American football team that represented the University of Michigan as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their tenth season under head coach Lloyd Carr, the Wolverines compiled a 9–3 record (7–1 in conference games), outscored opponents by a total of 370 to 279, and tied with Iowa for the Big Ten championship. Having beaten Iowa during the regular season, the Wolverines received the Big Ten's berth in the 2005 Rose Bowl where they lost to No. 6 Texas by a 38–37 score.
The Wolverines were ranked No. 8 in the preseason AP poll, dropped to No. 19 after an early loss to Notre Dame and a narrow victory over San Diego State, rose to No. 9 after winning eight straight games, and finished the season at No. 14 following losses to Ohio State and Texas.
Wide receiver Braylon Edwards led the Big Ten with 1,330 receiving yards, won the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver in college football, and received the Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the most valuable player in the Big Ten. Center David Baas won the Rimington Trophy. Running back Mike Hart led the Big Ten with 1,455 rushing yards and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Quarterback Chad Henne tied a school record with 25 touchdown passes.
Four Michigan players received first-team honors on the 2004 All-America team: Braylon Edwards; David Baas; cornerback Marlin Jackson; and safety Ernest Shazor. Nine Michigan players received first-team All-Big Ten honors: Mike Hart; Braylon Edwards; David Baas; Marlin Jackson; Ernest Shazor; offensive guard Matt Lentz; offensive tackle Adam Stenavich; tight end Tim Massaquoi; and defensive lineman Gabe Watson.
On September 4, Michigan opened its season with a 43–10 victory over Miami (OH) before a crowd of 110,815 at Michigan Stadium. After an injury to Matt Gutierrez, Chad Henne became the second true freshman quarterback (after Rick Leach in 1975) to start a season opener for Michigan. Henne completed 14 of 24 passes for 142 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Braylon Edwards caught six of Henne's passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns and described Henne after the game as "a special kind of person, a guy you automatically have faith in."
Michigan's defense created seven turnovers (five interceptions), including two interceptions by Markus Curry and an 88-yard interception return for a touchdown by Ernest Shazor. Aided by the turnovers, Michigan had five scoring drives of less than 20 yards. It was the most turnovers forced by a Michigan defense since October 5, 1985.
On September 11, No. 8 Michigan lost to Tyrone Willingham's Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 28–20, before a crowd of 80,795 at Notre Dame Stadium.
Michigan led, 9–0, at halftime, with three field goals by Garrett Rivas. Brady Quinn and Darius Walker led the Fighting Irish to 21 points in a fourth-quarter comeback. Quinn passed for 178 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Walker rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown.
