1983: Michigan 20 Washington State 17

The 1983 season opener against WSU. Michigan was without senior QB Steve Smith who re-injured a shoulder in practice, so Dave Hall had to step in. As a result, the Wolverines had to make a 4th quarter comeback and survive a late drive by the Cougars to pull the game out.
Game played on September 10, 1983 in Ann Arbor.

My first Michigan game in which I went to with my Dad and Grandpa. I miss them both. I was 11 at the time.

That is weird seeing "Brandi" on the television side announcing the game, He should do that more often!

I saw Washington State in 85 against Ohio State. Buckeyes won easy. Cougars have a hard luck history
