Iconic Performance Week: Chad Henne, Braylon Edwards save 2004 season in triple overtime thriller against Michigan State

It’s Iconic Performance Week here at Maize n Brew and when you think through all the years of Michigan Wolverines football, there aren’t many better comebacks than what Chad Henne and Braylon Edwards put together in 2004 against the in-state rival Michigan State Spartans.

The day did not get off to an ideal start. Henne had only 53 yards in the first half and a subpar completion percentage to open up the contest. The Michigan State pass rush was wreaking havoc on the Wolverines’ offensive line producing several sacks and chasing Henne out of the pocket.

Edwards, another star in Lloyd Carr’s offense, was underperforming to his normal standards with three receptions for 38 yards in the opening half.
