American college football season
The 2005 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 2005 NCAA Division I-A football season . The team's head coach was Lloyd Carr . The Wolverines played their home games at Michigan Stadium . That year Michigan Wolverines football competed in the Big Ten Conference in almost all intercollegiate sports including men's college football . Despite a disappointing 7–5 finish after being ranked as high as No. 3 early in the season, Michigan did not lose a game by more than a touchdown and upset Penn State , who finished #3 in the nation, on a last second touchdown pass from Chad Henne to Mario Manningham . The team earned an invitation to the 2005 Alamo Bowl , where it lost to the Nebraska Cornhuskers by a 32–28 margin. The team's first five conference games were all decided in the final 24 seconds of regulation or in overtime.[ 1]

Statistical achievements [ edit ]
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]
