Michigan football's Aidan Hutchinson misses out on Heisman Trophy
The momentum behind his candidacy stopped Saturday, when Hutchinson and the rest of the nation learned Alabama quarterback Bryce Young was the recipient of college football’s greatest individual prize. The Michigan standout, meanwhile, finished a distant second in the final balloting.
Still, the outcome couldn’t dim a dazzling year for Hutchinson, who set a single-season school record with 14 sacks, led the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff berth and began to stock his trophy case. Just in the last two weeks, Hutchinson was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and won the Rotary Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s best lineman or linebacker.
After all, Hutchinson’s trajectory was unclear heading into the Sept. 4 opener against Western Michigan. The potential was certainly there, and the NFL was intrigued enough by his natural ability that one prominent scouting service gave him a preliminary first-round grade. The second-generation Wolverine, whose father was an All-American, struggled to distinguish himself on the field for one reason or another. As his college career progressed, he was often overshadowed by the Wolverines’ other top pass rushers, whether it was Chase Winovich, Josh Uche or Kwity Paye.
Two weeks later, many began to agree with Gattis’ opinion after watching Hutchinson terrorize Ohio State and lead Michigan to its first victory over the Buckeyes since 2011. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound dynamo generated a whopping 15 pressures and sacked C.J. Stroud three times in the 42-27 win.
“There have been some awfully good players that have played for Michigan that haven't done what Aidan Hutchinson has done,” Harbaugh said.
That was true. Hutchinson established a new single-season school record for sacks in the win over Ohio State. He then became Michigan’s first Big Ten championship game MVP after the Wolverines secured their first conference title since 2004 in a 42-3 rout of Iowa last Saturday.
How Michigan ended up building The Big House-
Stuart Varney takes a closer look into how the University of Michigan built the largest football stadium on ‘American Built’.
Michigan Stadium, nicknamed "The Big House,is the football stadium for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the largest stadium in the United States and Western Hemisphere, outside of Asia, the third largest stadium in the world, and the 34th largest sports venue.Its official capacity is 107,601,but has hosted crowds in excess of 115,000.
Michigan Stadium was built in 1927 at a cost of $950,000 (equivalent to $11.4 million in 2019 and had an original capacity of 72,000. Prior to the stadium's construction, the Wolverines played football at Ferry Field. Every home game since November 8, 1975 has drawn a crowd in excess of 100,000, an active streak of more than 300 contests. On September 7, 2013, the game between Michigan and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish attracted a crowd of 115,109, a record attendance for a college football game since 1948, and an NCAA single-game attendance record at the time, overtaking the previous record of 114,804 set two years previously for the same matchup

Prior to playing at Michigan Stadium, Michigan played its games at Ferry Field, which at its peak could seat 40,000 people. Fielding Yost recognized the need for a larger stadium after original expansions to Ferry Field proved to be too small, and persuaded the regents to build a permanent stadium in 1926. Fashioned after the Yale Bowl, the original stadium was built with a capacity of 72,000. However, at Yost's urging, temporary bleachers were added at the top of the stadium, increasing capacity to 82,000.
