93. Helloooo Heisman!

Desmond Howard returns punt on way to Heisman Trophy

Nov. 23, 1991: Desmond Howard locked up the Heisman Trophy with one of the most memorable plays in Michigan Stadium history. Michigan led 17-3 late in the first half, when Howard fielded an Ohio State punt and raced 93 yards to the end zone, striking the Heisman pose as broadcaster Keith Jackson famously proclaimed, "Helloooo Heisman!" Michigan cruised to a 31-3 win and claimed a Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl berth. Howard hoisted the Heisman two weeks later.
