Before he could reach a somber Wolverines locker room, Texas defensive coordinator A defensive coordinator typically refers to a coach on a football team in the National Football League or college football who is in charge of the defense. This position aids the head coach a great deal in many ways by delegating play calling to other coaches and allowing the head Greg Robinson Greg Robinson (b. in Los Angeles, California) is the current head coach of the Syracuse University football team.

Definitely,'' Hart said after he cracked a tough Texas defense for 83 yards and averaged four yards per carry in the Wolverines' loss.

Think again. Hart gained 51 of his 83 yards after halftime, helping Michigan forge a 10-point lead entering the fourth quarter. Henne joined UCLA's Rick Neuheisel and USC's Pete Beathard as the only quarterbacks to throw four touchdown passes in a Rose Bowl game, tying Michigan's single-game record.

He finished his freshman year with a 25 to 10 TD-to-interception ratio and tied Elvis Grbac's school record for single-season TD passes. Hart, who finished with 1,394 rushing yards, lost just one fumble all season. ``That's an amazing stat,'' Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. ``Chad Henne, a true freshman, threw four touchdown passes with no interceptions.
