Coming from a Michigan fan - Ohio St 1995 were one of the best CFB teams to not win a national championship. Tennessee were also great this year. Both of these teams deserved to be in a bigger bowl game.
Two 1 lose teams, Tenn 10-1 OSU 11-1 , both in the top 5, and the heisman winner! The citrus bowl hit The lottery in 95. Never again will you see 2 teams this good play in this bowl!
If this was in the playoffs or bcs era one of these teams would have made it. Amazing the Citrus Bowl had the 2nd best bowl game matchup after the Fiesta Bowl that year. Also it seemed like every bowl game in Florida during the day was raining like crazy.
Who's here after there playoff bracket dropped???!? Also*** after one touchdown in this game(think it was Kent) , Brutus gets hit and his head is backwards
After watching the Hall of Fame Peyton throwing the ball as a Sophomore, I'm feeling a bit better about Nico's progress this year, no where near where we was hoping, but he hasn't been bad, and its been more of 1 or 2 people not doing the simple things that has knocked the Offense out of rhythm most often. Not to mention the whole offense has played better of late. It'll be interesting to see who this years Playoff game goes! I am SOO glad we get the late game! Since it'll be my luck i end up working my day off!
@@brasstaxz7030 3 if you count his time at Arizona State.He had a dreadful 2-8-1 record against Michigan at Ohio State.Still after only 1 season with less than 3 losses from 77 to 92, 3 1 loss seasons and 1 2 loss season was a welcome change. He also won 3 Bowl Games Rose Sugar and Holiday.Not too shabby.He didn't do as well as Jim Tressel or Urban Meyer.Still he was a good coach.
What I wanna know is how did Cooper last as soon as he did??? Took him 7 years to finally beat Michigan, 8 years to finally have a top 10 ranked team, 9 years to finally win a major bowl game...
I had a co-worker who was a big OSU fan. He told me how bad OSU was going to crush us. He kept badgering me to bet and we finally bet a pitcher of beer. Best tasting beer I've ever had. And he cried for months about the cleats.
Damn, I went to this game as a kid. Buckeye fan but born up the road and lived in College Park, Orlando. Still love the Buckeyes but live a little further away now in St Augustine.
I was at that game. It was raining folks. Like a monsoon raining. Great game. Tennessee won but later they took it from Tn. Something about their cleats.
The NCAA cleared Tennessee of any wrong doing. It’s still counted as a win in the official record books and on the field. OSU always got excuses as to why they lose.
Back when stars played in bowl games and teams really wanted to win. Vols had more speed than OSU but more importantly the hit harder than OSU, Leonard Little jacked Eddie George's jaw and he couldn't score from the 1. That was the turning point, good win for the Vols and continued dominance over Big 10. Helpful hint, check out UT/Michigan from the same bowl game, Jason Witten outran the whole Michigan secondary, Michigan way slow. Inferior stadium, too.

I know the SEC has a reputation for speed advantages over other conferences but in this game, they just manhandled OSU on the line on both sides of the ball. By the end of the game Hoying was hearing foot steps even if there was no pressure.
