Statistical achievements

Chris Perry was the Big Ten rushing individual statistical champion (126.8 yards per conference games and 128.8 yards per game).[3] Perry set numerous current school records during the season including single-game attempts (51, November 1, 2003) surpassing Ron Johnson's 1967 record of 42, and single-season attempts (338) surpassing Anthony Thomas' 2000 record of 319.[4]

The team led the Big Ten in passing offense for all games (270.8 yards per game), although Michigan State won the title for conference games.[5] They were also the Big Ten scoring statistical champions for conference games (35.8 points per game), although Minnesota was the champion for all games.[6] They also ranked first in passing efficiency defense for both conference games (96.6) and all games (102.2).[7] The team led the conference in total defense for conference games (286.1) and all games (316.4).[7] The November 22 Michigan - Ohio State football rivalry game set the current conference single-game attendance record of 112,118.[8]

Braylon Edwards posted four consecutive 100-yard reception games, surpassing Desmond Howard, Carter and Marcus Knight who all had three in various seasons. Edwards would tie this record the following season, but Mario Manningham posted six in 2007 to establish the current record.[9] John Navarre set numerous career records: pass attempts (1366) extending his own record established the prior season; completions (765), surpassing Elvis Grbac's 1992 record of 522; passing yards (9254), surpassing Grbac's 6460. Chad Henne broke each of these records during his career ending in 2007. Navarre also broke his own single-season records for pass attempts (456), completions (270) and yards (3331) set the prior season. Navarre broke Tom Brady's single-game passing yards record of 375 with a 389-yard performance on October 4 against Iowa. These single-game and single-season records still stand. The final touchdown pass of his career gave him 72, one more than Grbac for another record to be broken by Henne. Navarre established the current records for single-season yards per game (256.2), surpassing his own record of the prior year, and career yards per game (215.2), surpassing Jim Harbaugh's 175.8. He broke his own single-season 200-yard game record with 10 bringing his record setting career total to 28.[10]
