let's not bring up hiding in the rose vs an overrated #7/8 ranked Ryan Leaf crap team

Scott Frost would have run over Michigan  

doesn't look all that inveterate to me....looks kinda blatant. Kinda weird how he kicks his legs all the way up like that while he's falling to the ground....

Not sure Washington State was all that overrated bud. Hard for me to say that when they were 10-1 and their only loss in the regular season was a conference road night game against a then top 25 ranked Arizona State team that finished '97 ranked #14 in the country that year.

Ryan Leaf was an NFL bust- but saying he and his team were crap is complete revisionist history. That guy lead CFB in passing that year and was not just more physically talented than Peyton Manning- he was significantly more physically talented than Manning. 6'5, 240 but he could run and he had an absolute rocket launcher for an arm. There was huge debate that draft who to pick- Manning or Leaf. Manning wasn't a clear cut #1. It was close. Leaf was an obvious head case with mental health and drug issues- but in college he was about as good as it gets- he was all of 6'5, 240+ ran a 4.7 and could throw the ball through a brick wall- just had a cannon. Manning was similarly sized and while his arm was definitely above average it wasn't anywhere near as strong as Leaf's- and he sure as hell couldn't run like Leaf. Manning was slow as dirt- 5.0+ in the 40.

Think it's a lot of revisionist history to say Leaf stunk and Manning was great just because of their NFL careers turned out. Leaf was drafted where he should've been based on his physical talent. Can't predict how 21-22 years old are going to handle the pressure of carrying an NFL franchise or how they are going to re-act being given multi-million contracts. Not like the guy was Joey Harrington or Akili Smith- guys that just sucked and didn't have it physically and probably should've never been picked where they were. He had the talent. He didn't have the most important thing- the mind and the character.

Halftime score:

NU 14
Illinois 7

go 'Cats!

Fickel's Bearcats beat UConn by 1 to finish out his first season. 

24 minutes into the game, Rutgers picks up their first non penalty first down

Not sure these refs know what clipping is.  Lol, getting comical

maybe not too overrated at #7/8, not a bunch of great teams that season.  definitely not a top 5 team.  Finished behind UCLA, KAnsas St. and Tennessee in the final poll.  and not because Michigan steamrolled them.  Controversial finish.  The PAC was not stacked that season, WSUs toughest non-con game was vs Illinois (0-8 in the Big Ten).  WSU started the season unranked.  best win  at home vs UCLA week one.
Tennessee's only loss was at #1 ranked Florida in the swamp.  Vols beat UCLA in LA by 6.
Phat Phil Fulmer vs Mike Price?
what about the NFL careers of the remainder of the Vols roster vs the Cougars?
I'd say it stunk that Michigan and Nebraska didn't get to meet on the field
apparently a few others agreed because the Big Ten walked away from the Rose the following season
it's a damned shame those two teams didn't meet on the field
same with 94 Penn St. and Nebraska

Love leaving shit loads of points off the board
