This is an 11 inch by 14 inch photograph of the storied Brown Jug trophy won by the winner of the Michigan vs. Minnesota game and autographed by former Michgian quarterback Rick Leach. Leach was a star quarterback at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 1978 under legendary coach Bo Schembechler. He was the first NCAA Division I FBS player to pass for 200 points and score 200 points.^[2] He continues to hold the NCAA record for highest percentage of passes for touchdowns (400-499 attempts) with 45 in 462.^[3] A left-hander, he was given the starting job before his freshman year and held it until he graduated four years later.

Leach shattered all Michigan's career passing, total offense and touchdown records. He set an NCAA record for most touchdowns accounted for (82) and broke Big Ten records for total offense (6,460 yards), total plays (1,034), and touchdown passes (48). In 1978, he finished third in balloting for the Heisman Trophy, behind Billy Sims and Chuck Fusina. A standout on the baseball diamond as well as the gridiron, Leach won the Big Ten batting championship as a junior and won the rare honor of being named All-American in both football and baseball and had a long professional career playing for the Detroit Tigers.
