The 1930 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 1930 college football season. The head coach was former Michigan star, 31-year-old Harry Kipke, in his second year in the position.
The team went through the 1930 season with an undefeated 8–0–1 record, outscored opponents 111 to 23, and tied for the Big Ten Conference championship with Northwestern.[1] The 1930 season marked the debut of Michigan's College Football Hall of Fame quarterback Harry Newman, who became a star in his first season leading the Wolverines' offense. In Newman's three years at Michigan, the Wolverines lost only one game, won three Big Ten Conference championships, and had a combined record of 24–1–2. Further, the 1930 team was the first of four consecutive Michigan teams coached by Harry Kipke to win or tie for the Big Ten championship, losing only one game from 1930 to 1933.[1][2][3][4]
Right halfback James Simrall was the team captain, and left halfback Jack Wheeler was selected as the Most Valuable Player.[1] Six players from the 1930 team were selected to All-Big Ten teams, and five went on to play in the National Football League.
