The 1964 Michigan Wolverines football team, coached by Bump Elliott, won the Big Ten Conference championship with a record of 8-1 (6-1 in conference) and defeated the Oregon State Beavers in the 1965 Rose Bowl game, 34-7. The team had two first-team All-Americans in quarterback Bob Timberlake and Bill Yearby and four All-Big Ten players in Timberlake, Yearby, Jim Conley, and Tom Cecchini. The Wolverines narrowly missed an undefeated season, with the only loss coming against a Purdue team led by Bob Griese by a score of 21-20. Michigan had a chance to tie the game but Timberlake carried the ball for an attempted two-point conversion and was stopped short of the goal line.
