Bulldogs Hand Wolverines Humiliating Defeat In J-Ville
At Jacksonville, Florida:
In a double dose of gawd-awful showings by Big Ten Conference schools from the state of Michigan on Saturday, quarterback Chris Relf threw for three touchdowns and ran for another while running back Vick Ballard ran for three scores himself as Mississippi State (9-4) handed Michigan (7-6) their most lopsided bowl defeat 52-14 in the Gator Bowl. The 52 points were the most ever surrendered by the Wolverines in a bowl game. This putrid performance may have sealed the fate of embattled Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.
