2008 Cap One Bowl: Michigan-41 Florida-35 (PART 1)

[ScimInHand]

I've been to both games against Florida, and both we won :) Hopefully we can increase our record to 2-0 against Meyer this coming season.

[123multitaskerclone]

haha fake church boy got owned in this game!!! >:)

[MgoMuse]

ONLY 65,000?

[Gold21030]

The Capital One Bowl was the last time Michigan fielded a good team, the next time is the opener against Western Michigan in 2011.

[MVillani1985]

@Gold21030 Great prediction, the 2011 Wolverines did turn out to be a pretty solid football team.

[Tiggity10]

this game was amazing especially when no one gave Michigan a chance to win this win

[cmoney7463]

i miss this swagger on defense...in this game they gave up some points but they've got that swagger like no one can touch them

[soliderofthree]

i really do miss them all that was a great team a great coach and a great defense but most of all times when we won. Go blue i am still faithful in you!

[MrBluesboy12]

Damn I miss Lloyd. Most of all I miss having a Defense.

[mr101AWESOME]

was that rich rod on the sidelines?

[WolverineHistorian]

@mr101AWESOME Yep. He watched the game with Bill Martin.

[mr101AWESOME]

@WolverineHistorian last good game he will ever witness. bill martin and rich rod were both failures if ya ask me. ive been following michigan all my life and to see rich rod do this to michigan, is just hurting me inside

[hiazn69]

Lloyd Carr FTW!!

[YouTuber2006]

Had it not been for Hart's showboating and fumbles near the endzone, this game would have been a blowout.

GO BLUE!!!!

[bullrose5]

Sigh...the last time Michigan was in a bowl game. Will things get any better this year, than the last two? I really have doubts, Rodriguez has effectively destroyed what's good and decent about Michigan football.

[GoldenTate4Heisman]

I hated Chad Henne because he played for Michigan, but now being a Dolphins fan I have very high hopes for him. When he gets time, he's a very good QB, as shown here.

[BlitzinLB27]

I remember when this bowl game was announced.. I picked UF winning/ covering this one. lol looks like I was wrong

[robbie1997347]

What year was this?

[DevilDogSGT07]

2007-2008

[dstraubfhc]

i love how in the beginning the Florida fans are "booooo" and at the end they're "..........???"

Go Blue

[crjohnsonUMgoblue22]

im from canada and my family was vacationing in orlando so i bought tix to the bowl long before we knew who was playing. was so happy when i found out it was mich vs fl. this was my first college game and my families first game and they loved every second of it. was the highlight of the trip which included disney. amazing game!

[Amaizenblue86]

I love how the crowd (mainly Gator fans) greets this team... Great game

[gomichiganrailmst3k]

the crazy thing about this is that this is the basically the same Florida team that won the NC last year. And they lost to a team that got basically destroyed by Appalachian State. This will always be one of my favorite Michigan victories.

[wolverinefan24]

destroyed by appy state? it was a 2 point game.....with 2 blocked field goals

[DevilDogSGT07]

destroyed by app state?

[soulflyx69]

@gomichiganrailmst3k i cant believe you said we got destroyed by appy st. we lost by less than a field goal we chocked. we didnt get destroyed! Go Blue

[leddhed]

It was very obvious that Michigan was much too physical for Florida. Same in 2003.

[BlitzinLB27]

This game alone put Chad Henne into position to be an NFL QB

[Amaizenblue86]

I'm pretty sure he was an almost sure NFL QB after the 2006 season.

[Amaizenblue86]

2:19 Carlos Butler's block is sick!

6:30 Now that's blitzing with a sense of urgency.

9:21 What a catch!

[rediculousrapper]

One of my favorites michigan games ever, went to my boys house up at central michigan and partied on new years so was hung over and hurtin bad, and just had the feeling of a michigan flop that day. Then they just came out like the best team in the country. Besides that interception chad was throwin missle's out there. Oh to relive that glorious day.

[DMan6500]

It's too bad Michigan did not play like this for the whole 2007 season.

[Amaizenblue86]

If they did... NC anyone?

[stokie510wego]

The Hart run at 2:05 & block at 2:43 set the tone that Michigan was gonna play smash mouth all the way

[Dmoney8dos]

I want to know where that SEC "speed" that im always hearing about was at 2:03...

[MauricXe]

@Dmoney8dos SEC SEC SEC SEC!!!!!

[MrShock33]

where do you get these highlights

[WolverineHistorian]

I copy them myself from my game tapes.

[DrOman5596]

What a great game for Carr to go out on.

[TheMattcore]

Lol 6:57

[WolverineHistorian]

Yeah. LOL! I did the gator chomp at the TV screen when they zoomed in on Meyer after the game was wrapped up.

Braylon Edwards did the gator chomp to the UF fans after we beat them in 2003 too.

[GamblerLV]

Out of all the games this bowl year, Michigan even through im a HUGE fan, was my LOCK bet of the year, Chad Henne, Super Mario, AA, Mike Hart and Jake Long... this game in my mind was a LOCK, this was finally a healty Michigan team, and i had NO doubts they could beat anyone!

[thegov1020]

mr historian my favroite part of this game is when super mairo scored at 9:37 right infront of the florida band and talked smack to em too that was sweet

[kuya4charlie4]

I think Carson Butler could be a stud in the NFL.

[Poole1Dan]

Yeah. I like his chances with the Packers. We all should remember that Antonio Gates was an undrafted free agent with loads of raw talent. Hopefully Butler can bring out that talent in the NFL just like Gates has done. That'll shut his haters up!

Go Blue!

[harveybullocks1281]

I went to high school and college with Carson, he's a good player but he has temper issues that lead to stupid penalties, that's what hounded him throughout his time at Michigan in my opinion.

[godofwar2masterR]

Great game. I remember this game. Not only because the way we played but because Michigan (the state) got like 20" of snow the night before....

[dabulls108]

remember this florida team...just came off a national title and won it the year after. And we should have won by more if hart doesnt fumble.

[AnitaDoobie]

I remember that blocked feild goal at 6:47.

Iwas so excited when that happend. Thanks for uploading that.

[maizenblueforever]

Yeah i remember everybody picked Florida to beat us handily in this game and it was a great way for Carr to leave winning like that.

[DMichiganWol21]

I just wish that we saw this all season

[Poole1Dan]

Me and many other Michigan fans had picked the Wolverines to win the national championship that season. This is why. The 2007 Wolverines just had so much talent, especially on offense. Its sad that we were fucked over by bad coaching and injuries, but what a great finish this game was to the season!

Go Blue!

[Poole1Dan]

7:26-7:39: Carson Butler was the shit. No two ways about it.

[goose8787]

i miss these days! damn

[llSgtScopell]

Not only was this special because it was Coachs last game. But every fucking analyst and coach out there picked FLA and their golden boy to dominate us.

[jlin5892]

I remember this game and that 90% chose Florida to win
