The win was the 11th of the season for the Wolverines, the 5th time in Michigan Football history they have won 11+ games in a season.

The win was also the 20th All-Time bowl win for Michigan, making the Wolverines overall bowl record 20-21.

Michigan is now 1-1 in Sugar Bowls.

Michigan lost, 9-7, to the auburn Tigers, in the 1984 Sugar Bowl Game.

The Sugar Bowl win was also the 895th win in the 132 year history of Michigan Football, the most wins of any college football team, in any NCAA division.

Bo Schembechler..."The Team, the Team, the Team!"

"We want the Big Ten championship and we're gonna win it as a Team. They can throw out all those great backs, and great quarterbacks, and great defensive players, throughout the country and in this conference, but there's gonna be one Team that's gonna play solely as a Team. No man is more important than The Team. No coach is more important than The Team. The Team, The Team, The Team, and if we think that way, all of us, everything that you do, you take into consideration what effect does it have on my Team? Because you can go into professional football, you can go anywhere you want to play after you leave here. You will never play for a Team again. You'll play for a contract. You'll play for this. You'll play for that. You'll play for everything except the team, and think what a great thing it is to be a part of something that is, The Team. We're gonna win it. We're gonna win the championship again because we're gonna play as team, better than anybody else in this conference, we're gonna play together as a team. We're gonna believe in each other, we're not gonna criticize each other, we're not gonna talk about each other, we're gonna encourage each other. And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan."
