On the eve of one of the biggest games in school history, former Michigan head football coach Bo Schembechler -- the face of a program and an institution -- has died, according to several Detroit television stations.
He was 77.
Top-ranked Ohio State and second-ranked Michigan will square off on Saturday at the Horseshoe. The winner punches a ticket to Glendale for the national championship. The loser likely smells roses in Pasadena.
However, the scenarios can wait -- at least for a day -- while the college football world mourns a true coach, teacher and icon.
Schembechler collapsed while taping a television show at WXYZ in Southfield early Friday and was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
The seven-time Big Ten coach of the year posted a 194-48-5 record at UM from 1969-1989.
We at The Phanatic send out our thoughts and prayers to Schembechler's immediate family, the UM football family and all of those who the former coach touched in one way or another.
