"Deion Sanders, a 6' 1' 180 lb Sophomore, they felt they could go after him . . . "
Things you wish you knew then that you know now.

Ohio State's decision to pick on the freshman cornerback in 1995, rather than the more experienced Woody Hankins and Tyrone Noble.
The footage is also noteworthy because it shows Deion tackling a guy.

That didn't go very well. There was some serious closing speed in that defensive backfield.

I had heard tell of this game. Legend had it there was a game Bo coached once where he didnt start the game with a dive off right tackle. Folks that was there claimed he threw not one, but two deep passes to start the game but I said "naaaa - cant be." I watched, either in person or listened on the radio to pretty damn near all the games ol Bo coached for Michigan and in each and every one I could remember he started the game with the same play. A tailback dive off right tackle. Shoot - some fellers claimed it was more likely to see the gad-durn sun rise in the west than it was for Bo to start a game with any other play than a tailback dive off right tackle.
That there game boys is a Unicorn, plain and simple.

I was so much younger then; I'm older than that now...

That game went much better than the one in 1991.

I want to say that the FSU team we played in 1991 sent 6 or 7 players to the NFL - Amp Lee, Casey Weldon, just to name a couple - and while I was at both games growing up, yeah, I don't remember that 1991 quite as fondly.

Terrell Buckley...blanking on the rest though

The 1991 game was closer than the final score indicated. We had two horrible plays - the Buckley interception return, and the long Amp Lee TD right before halftime. But our offensive line got it rolling against a very good defense.

Look at the size of those shoulder pads! And wide out wearing knee pads along with some LBs in neck rolls. A different time indeed.

I don't remember the start of the game, so thanks for posting this. On the 2nd play, it was interesting to see freshman Greg McMurtry being targeted. He was a very highly recruited player in H.S. Today, he would have been a consensus 5 star. Even back then, there was a ton of hype around his recruitment, partly because he was a great baseball prospect as well. The Boston Red Sox wanted to sign him, but he eventually chose college football.

The mispronunciation of Deion's name is pure gold.

That was the Homecoming game that year for some reason. Maybe the earliest one ever.

It's funny to look at footage like this! As time progressed the pads, jerseys got smaller & fashionable from ex-Packer WR James Jones in-game hoodie to Zeke's reverse tube top!! Crazy

Cropped football jerseys didn't start with Ezekiel Elliot.
