The last time a Michigan team was scoreless came on Oct. 20, 1984, a 20-0 loss to Iowa. The Wolverines actually outgained Notre Dame 289-280, but committed four turnovers. Michigan had two opportunities to score, but missed field-goal attempts on its first two possessions. Michigan's mark ends four better than BYU, which went 361 consecutive shutout-free games from 1975-2003. The longest current non-shutout streak now belongs to Florida, covering 323 games (third most in FBS history) since 1988.
