@kobraf150 Actually, Baker was pretty solid during the 97 season. I believe he missed only 4 field goals all year. Then disaster struck the following season in the opener at ND when Baker missed two chip shots and had two others blocked. He was yanked and Feely stepped in. Feely was about as accurate in 98 as Baker was in 97. He just made a couple more 50 yard kicks barely.
@maizenbluenation It wasn't a great game offensively but the D was so great that it didn't matter. I went to this game. Had bad seats about 80 rows up in the north end zone. The weather was dark and cloudy but the rain held up until after the game was over. The crowd cheered every time Woodson stepped on the field. As the final minute ticked off the clock, the student section chanted, "We want Penn State!" And we all know what happened the following week. Good times.
Why was Baker kicking, or rather missing, field goals, when a future NFL kicker, Jay Feeley, was around. Also, why was Tom Brady not playing when Brian Griese was throwing interceptions? Wolverines won the title with defense. Go Blue.
Griese threw 17 TD passes and only 6 interceptions in '97. Brady did not become the Brady we know now until 1999. His first two games in 1998, against Notre Dame and Syracuse, were less than stellar. Watch the entire 1997 season, you'll see why Griese was our QB. Remember, here's the most important statistic from the 1997 season: Michigan played 12 games and won 12 games.
love them Michigan uniforms I hope 🤞 this up 🆙 coming season they ditch the blue pants 👖 and stick to tradition
@thedynamic35 Still need to do Baylor and Indiana. And I plan on redoing Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa to include more highlights.
Thanks Wolverine Historian.
Wonder how many off that Nebraska team played in the NFL. Don’t lie when you reply, cause I will look it up.
Who cares? This isn't Nebraska, this is Michigan/Minnesota.
@@halbarbour7340 I was taking a swipe at Nebraska because I get tired of people saying how that 97 Michigan squad wouldn’t have beat them.
Great game! The guy from 18:00 to the end, have I seen him on TV from this most recent season as well?

Dr. Udai S. Singh we won a National Championship. I think the coaches chose well.

@maizenbluenation lol, and I was only 4, at least you have some bit of memory. Lol.
Go Blue!
Why was Kraig Baker our kicker? He didn't make any good or big ones. Feeley was far better at that time.
