November 23, 1991
Michigan: 31
Ohio State: 3
Michigan won its fourth straight against the Buckeyes that year. But it was during the second quarter, on Howard's 93 yard punt return, that one of the most iconic images in the history of sports was captured. Howard, who hailed from Cleveland, said of the pose:
"I told my friends from Ohio State that if I got in the end zone, I'd do something special for them."
Something special he did. Howard went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 1991 by a large margin. While the pose he struck that day isn't exactly accurate with regards to the trophy, Howard's rendition has had incredible cultural influence, including the cover photo for EA Sports' 2006 NCAA Football video game.
