1991 Gator Bowl: Michigan 35 Ole Miss 3 (PART 1)

[TheAntihero6212]

Ole Miss was not that bad, either that season. They came into this game 9-2, (5-2 in SEC play, tied for third with Alabama), their only losses of the regular season came against Auburn (24-10) and eventual 'unofficial' conference champion Tennessee (22-13)

[BTW, I said unofficial on Tennessee B/C Florida actually won the SEC in Steve Spurrier's first year, but couldn't go to a bowl game B/C of NCAA Violations. Tennessee finished right behind them at 5-1-1, but they got the Sugar Bowl bid.]

Michigan gained 715 yards of total offense in this game, still one of the highest totals in a bowl game in CFB history. Also, it was the only time ever in the history of postseason bowl games that a team gained 300 yards both rushing AND passing in the same game.

Greg Skrepenak won MVP in this game if im not mistaken..

[TheAntihero6212]

@BlitzinLB27 Actually, it was giving to U-M's entire O-Line. But, you could be right on that one.

That was the Gary Moeller era, where players posed for team pics in their uniforms. Then Lloyd Carr took over and they started posing for team pics in suits and ties. That Sucked.

hopefully with all this extra time Mr. GERG could actually put a competent defense on the field

[dustomatic1974]

10 of the 11 starters on offense played in the NFL. That's kinda insane.

[dustomatic1974]

This Michigan team was one of the best in the last 30 years. They could have played with anybody in the country.

If we hold Miss. St to 3 points, I'm sending GERG the most expensive bottle of wine I can lay hands on.

@TheZooCrew

how did that work out for you.... ;)

[TheZooCrew]

@sseeplane

I'll probably still send the bottle of wine, but I might lace it with arsenic.

[MauricXe]

I hope you guys can replicate this

[PNAS99]

Eric Anderson was a beast on defense!!
