Are you fucking kidding HailVictors? Nebraska played #3 ranked Tennessee with NFL great Peyton Manning, who threw like 3 INT's, and we whooped their ass by some 30 points. Who did Michigan play??? #8 ranked WSU. #8?? What kind of bullshit team plays for the National championship against a #8 team, Not to mention They barely even struggled to pull out a victory in that game. Fuck you Michigan, that title is clearly OURS.

No passing game. Go watch the Orange Bowl agaisnt Tenn. They tried same scheme that every otehr team does to stop Husker offense. STacked 8 and 9 in box. Frost and company loosend them up witht he pass and than they steamrolled them. 13 of 19 to start.

HailVictors... you have no idea. simply looking at the stats proves how ridiculous those claims are. a few more stats, just for fun... your defense allowed 9 points per game... ours allowed 16 - difference of 7. your offense averaged 27 a game... our offense, 47 - difference of 20. add that to the fact that you guys squeaked it out against (#17?) Wazzou (who got jobbed at the end), while, by contrast, we piss-pounded peyton manning's #4 tennessee squad. game over. NU by at least 2 TDs.

Would've been a good game but Nebraska deserved it just as much as Michigan, ESPECIALLY after NU whooped up on Peyton Manning's Tennessee and Michigan needed a clock malfunction to beat Ryan Leaf's Washington State. Michigan also had 5 games decided by 10 points or less, NU only 2. It's a shame that the two couldn't have played, but there's no reason to say that Michigan deserved it over NU or vice-versa. Both teams got a share and that's what should've happened the way everything turned out.

oviedol55 (June 8, 2008 at 2:30 am)

Putting 9 guys in the box to stop the option sounds easier than it is. NU had a passing game, NU just didn't utilize it that often. Frost still had 1400+ passing yards and completed 56%, and would've been able to exploit 9 guys in the box. Michigan's defense, specifically their pass defense was great that year. 9.5 points allowed per game compared to NU's defense allowing 16.4 points per game. However, NU averaged 47.1 points per game offensively, Michigan only averaged 26.8 per game.

ROFLMAOROFLMAOYou cannot be serious. Be very careful what you wish for, Myth-Again fan. We'd ROLL your pathetic 97 group by 21 or more, and that's no joke.Fuck the Big 10, fuck Ohio State and fuck Michigan.

Michigan never faced a rushing attack like Nebraska's in 97. It's hard to prepare for an option attack like the one Tom Osborne ran. Alot of college football coaches said they hated to prepare for it, and the physical pounding that came with it.
