Statistical achievements
The team led the conference in kick return average in all games (23.4), while Michigan State led in conference games.[ 3] Mike Hart set the school record for career 200-yard games (4), passing Ron Johnson 's 3 set in 1968. He extended the record, which is still standing, to 5 in 2007.[ 4] His 200-yard game came after missing two and a half games due to injury. During the three injury-affected games Michigan lost to Notre Dame and Wisconsin and slipped out of the polls for the first time since 1998, snapping the nation's longest streak of 114-straight poll appearances.[ 5]
