Rankings from AP Poll
The 1998 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 1998 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their fourth year under head coach Lloyd Carr, the Wolverines compiled a 10–3 record (7–1 against conference opponents), finished in a three-way tie for the Big Ten championship, and were ranked No. 12 in the final Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN coaches' polls. They outscored opponents by a total of 359 to 235, ranking 42nd nationally in scoring offense (27.6 points per game) and 14th in scoring defense (18.1 points per game).
After the 1997 team won a share of the national championship, the 1998 team opened its season ranked No. 5, but lost two consecutive games (Notre Dame and Syracuse) at the start of the season. The team then won eight consecutive games before losing its rivalry game against Ohio State. The season ended with a victory over No. 11 Arkansas in the 1999 Florida Citrus Bowl.
Quarterback Tom Brady completed 200 of 323 passes for 2,427 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The team's rushing offense was led by Anthony Thomas and Clarence Williams with 761 and 568 yards, respectively. Tai Streets was selected as the team's most valuable player and led the team's receivers with 60 receptions for 906 yards and 11 touchdowns. Jay Feely was the team's leading scorer with 82 points on 34 extra points and 16 field goals.[1] Offensive tackle and team co-captain Jon Jansen was the only Michigan player to be recognized as a first-team All-American.
The team played its home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
