2003: Michigan 35 Ohio State 21 (PART 1)

[wolverinefangowings]

Think of how many players, from both these teams, played on sundays...

[bullrose5]

It's been far too long since this happened. Let's make it happen tomorrow. GO BLUE!

[COF614]

hard to believe that if osu would have one this they would have played in the championship game.they wernt even good that year

[Ooftyman]

I know this is gonna sound weird, but... doesn't Perry and even the O-line seem...fast? Not Denard-fast, but... as a unit, they seem so much faster than the recent offenses...

[Ooftyman]

I get goosebumps listening to Keith Jackson...

[playinggod247]

Big Michigan fan... but I got to give props to Nate Salley for his hit on Edwards... man, what a great football play. But, as always... GO BLUE!

[WolverineHistorian]

@chucknorrisworshiper I can't say. Last year's defense was the worst in school history and close to the worst in college football. Having them all back means they have some experience under their belt. But I have no idea how far they can jump in one year. Denard & Company learning a new offense means there will be growing pains here and there.

I like Hoke and I have a feeling the program is in good shape with him. But in year 1, I'm just holding my breath.

@WolverineHistorian How do you feel now? Same players, a much, MUCH better person at the coaching spot........this team is Sugar Bowl bound!

[ixcuincle]

Expect a lot more of this now that Tressel is gone.

[SBXXChampions]

i forgot what its like to beat ohio state. to have these days again. we ran the ball, played defense, and beat osu. thats michigan football

[jejesdad]

@SBXXChampions You will get that feeling tomorrow, GOD willing. Denard goes for 300 passing, and 4 TD's.

[boxellmark27]

that intro deserved an Emmy.

[MrBigStuff456]

i loved the '03 michigan team, but we lost the rose bowl :(

[lunchbox420able]

Can you say goose bumps hearing Keith Jackson talking about the rivalry that is the Michigan Wolverines and THE Ohio State Buckeyes

[MgoMuse]

this was the first mich-osu game i ever saw, and it was on TV, and ill always remember it. Thanks for the memories this brings back, WH

[hogeboon19]

God that intro gives me chills.

[vandals989]

whats the sound in the intro?

[MrBigStuff456]

@vandals989 clocks by coldplay

[theproducerspart2]

Hey Historian awesome you got the ABC viewing up! Hats off to you my friend. Man I miss this team. Perry, Navarre, Breaston and Edwards?! God it brings a tear to my eye

[victors01]

I always liked Keith Jackson's intro to this game. It saddens me that the series has been so one-sided. Although it's still considered one of the big games, it has lost some of the luster it used to have. Hopefully, Michigan's place in the series will be restored either with the current head coach or his replacement.

[DMichiganWol21]

Domination...Chris Perry

[bluejayforever2006]

I think the score changed before he crossed the plane!

[SB20Champions]

@bluejayforever2006 I was just thinking the same thing, it sure does look like it.

[AnitaDoobie]

Thanks for getting the ABC audio for this game. I love the Michigan radio broadcasters, but I have to say I love Keith Jackson more.

[WolverineHistorian]

@AnitaDoobie I love them both as well. I decided to use the ABC audio because this is the last ever UM/OSU game Jackson called. In fact, Keith actually requested to come out of "retirement" just to do this game.

[maizenbluenation]

I remember watching Braylon score that touchdown and I don't think my house was never more excited than when he broke all those tackles for a touchdown.

[TheZooCrew]

Chris Perry was incredible...he was never the biggest, strongest, shiftiest, or fastest running back, but his relentless effort, vision, and balance were what made him a Heisman candidate.
