The Michigan Wolverines football team led by Coach Bo Schembechler tried to send out their coach on a high note. They started off by losing a tight game to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish but reeled off ten straight to end the regular season. Highlighted by blowing out Minnesota for the Little Brown Jug by thirty-four and beating Ohio State by ten at home. Runningback Tony Boles rushed for eight hundred hirty-nine yards and Michael Taylor threw for one thousand eighty-one yards to lead their teams. Greg McMurty was the leading reeiver with forty-one catches for seven hundred eleven yards. They reached the Rose Bowl in 1990 but lost to USC by just a touchdown. Bo Schlembacher retired after that game.

1989 Rose Bowl
The 1989 Rose bowl was a tight game. A remach of the previous Rose Bowl in which Michigan won twenty-two to fourteen. USC scored the first points in the second quarter with a one yard run by Todd Marinvoch. Michigan got a field goal to make it seven to three but USC added another field goal before the half to take a ten to three lead at halftime. Michigan tied it in the third with a two yard touchdown run but then Ricky Ervins had a fourteen yard touchdown run to put USC over the top.
