The Wolverines snapped a four-game bowl losing streak with a 41-35 victory over the Florida Gators before a Florida Citrus Bowl crowd of 69,748 in the final appearance for Carr and a senior class that won its first postseason game. Carr concluded his storied Michigan coaching career with a 122-40 record, the 1997 national championship, and five Big Ten championships. MVP Chad Henne threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns, and Mike Hart rushed for 129 yards and two scores.
Henne’s second touchdown to Adrian Arrington, an 18-yarder with 4:12 remaining, put the Wolverines (9-4) ahead for good after Florida (9-4) took a 38-35 lead on Percy Harvin’s 10-yard run with 5:34 to play. Michigan’s defense stymied the Gators on their final two possessions to preserve the victory.
Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow registered 211 total yards — 154 passing and 57 rushing — and four touchdowns for UF.
