The team led the conference inkick 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), passingRon 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]
