1997 OSU game on BTN right now

Submitted by jmblue on

This will never, ever get old.

(How awesome is the BTN?  We get classic Michigan games all the time.  Back when there was just ESPN Classic, we could wait weeks to see one old M game - and they mostly only showed our losses.)

on this defense was having two players named

Steell & Gold

 

Oh, and Woodson just returned a punt for a touchdown. Why don't I remember that from this game?

oh, yeah, and the Rose Bowl. Third row from the top SE endzone corner. Not sure how I left that off the list. Scored tickets from my dad's friend in England who was friends with the Track Coach Emeritus (or some crazy title like that) at PSU. Had dinner with him in '99 I think, and the guy was 90 some years old and a riot.

I loved Chris Floyd's 19-yard dive the play after the Woodson crossing pattern catch. He took Michigan to the doorstep, then Anthony Thomas took it the last yard for six.

That had to be one of the hardest-hitting football games I had ever seen. To this day, my head hurts when I watch that game.

Don't forget David Boston's comments before the game...

"If our offense and defense are clicking, we should win by 2-3 touchdowns.  We're going up there and upsetting them.  I think we're better than Michigan."

"We're going to do to Michigan what they did to us last year."

"Antoine Winfield is as good as Woodson and certainly faster."

Nothing was sweeter than seeing the camera zoom in on that jackass right after Woodson's punt return.  The expression on his face was priceless.  And then right before halftime, the student section started taunting him by yelling, "Booooston, Boooston, Boooooston."
