Elvis Grbac was a three-year starter for Michigan. In those three years, he led Michigan to two Big Ten titles, which both resulted in Rose Bowl appearances.

The Wolverines split the two appearances, both against Washington.

Grbac finished his career at Michigan as the school's all-time leader in pass attempts, completions, passing yards and touchdowns, but eventually had the records broken by John Navarre, and then eventually, Chad Henne.
