This was Michigan 's best record since the 2011 season, which saw Michigan finish with an 11 -- 2 record and a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech. Michigan suffered staff attrition when defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin left the program to become the head coach at Maryland. On December 21, 2015, Michigan officially announced the hiring of Don Brown as defensive coordinator. On January 7, 2016, it was officially announced that John Baxter would be leaving Michigan to become the Special Teams coach at USC. In response to both the Baxter and Durkin departures -- Durkin had also coached linebackers for Michigan in addition to his position as defensive coordinator -- Michigan promoted their recruiting coordinator Chris Partridge to Special Teams and Linebackers coach. On February 18, 2016, Greg Jackson left Michigan to become the defensive backs coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He was replaced by Brian Smith, who most recently served as an assistant linebackers coach with the Philadelphia Eagles under Chip Kelly. Michigan Wolverines logo and the jumpman logo at the Nike, Inc. flagship store on the Magnificent Mile during the week before the opening game The team conducted four of its spring practices at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida between February 29 and March 4, 2016, which coincided with the University 's annual spring break. The final practice was held as an open practice for fans and recruits, and saw an attendance of over 5,000 people. The practices were considered controversial, as coaches from the SEC and ACC protested what they believed to be an attempt to gain an upper hand in recruiting prospective athletes ; however, at the time, no NCAA rules stated that the practices would not be allowed to take place. Michigan also conducted several satellite camps -- football camps meant to expose prospective student athletes to colleges who might otherwise not find and recruit them due to distance or other factors -- in 22 states, Australia, and American Samoa following the NCAA 's reversal of a ban enacted only months prior. Although agreed to many months earlier, in April, the University announced it had signed an 11 - year, $127.12 million contract with Nike, Inc. on March 16 that would go into effect on August 1, 2016 for 31 Michigan Wolverines sports teams to switch from wearing Adidas apparel to Nike. The Wolverines became the first football program to wear the jumpman logo and every piece of football apparel donned by the team that is visible is Jordan Brand attire. Michigan unveiled its new uniforms and gear during a ceremony at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant on August 2. Michigan alumna Dana Jacobson hosted the event, while former Wolverine great Charles Woodson was also in attendance.

Michigan lost the previous meeting in 1991, by a score of 51 -- 31. This was Michigan 's 45th bowl game appearance, and third appearance in the Orange Bowl. Playing without Heisman Trophy finalist Jabrill Peppers, Michigan lost to Florida State, 33 -- 32. Florida State opened the scoring in the first quarter via a two - yard touchdown run from Dalvin Cook. Michigan responded with a 19 - yard field goal from Kenny Allen. Florida State extended its lead with a 42 - yard field goal from Roberto Aguayo and a 92 - yard touchdown pass from Deondre Francois to Nyqwan Murray. The teams exchanged field goals in the second quarter, a 28 - yard field goal from Allen, and a 38 - yard field goal from Roberto Aguayo, which made the score 20 -- 6 in favor of Florida State at half - time. Michigan scored nine points in the third quarter on a 37 - yard field goal from Allen, and a 14 - yard interception return from Mike McCray, reducing Florida State 's lead to five points. Florida State extended its lead in the fourth quarter via a three - yard run from Francois. Michigan responded with 15 unanswered points via an eight - yard touchdown pass from Wilton Speight to Khalid Hill, and a 30 - yard touchdown run from Chris Evans to take their first lead of the game. Florida State responded with a 12 - yard touchdown pass from Francois to Murray.

Michigan took over possession at its 25 - yard line following the kickoff but was unable to get anything going as a fourth - down pass was intercepted near midfield to seal the game. Michigan finished the season with 534 points scored, fifth all - time trailing only the 1901 -- 1904 point - a-minute teams. In finishing three - for - three on the day in field goals, Kenny Allen was one shy of the program record for most consecutive field goals made ( 16 ). Allen finished his career at 37 - for - 45, an 82.2 - percent clip, just short of passing Bob Bergeron ( 29 - of - 35 ; 82.9 percent ) as Michigan 's all - time most accurate field goal kicker ( minimum of 15 attempts ). He also closes his career a perfect 95 - for - 95 on point - after attempts, tied with 10 others atop the program charts. Wide receiver Amara Darboh finished his career with at least one catch in 33 straight games, the fourth - longest streak in program history.

Yost 's `` Point - a-Minute '' teams that scored more than nine touchdowns on multiple occasions. Michigan 's single - game record is actually 22 touchdowns, a feat accomplished twice -- on October 26, 1901, against University of Buffalo and on October 24, 1904, against West Virginia. These games occurred before the forward pass was legalized in 1906 ; therefore, all points scored would have been via rushing touchdowns.
