1997: Michigan vs. MSU - Woodson's one hand int

[poewnbiusa]

@BobbyDigital83 is that really brady hoke? because it looks just like him.

[WolverineHistorian]

@poewnbiusa It is indeed. He was on the coaching staff from 1995-2002.

[Nascarking24]

I'm guessing this is why Peyton Manning lost The Heisman to Woodson.

[sweets1147]

I was at this game...I was going nuts when Woodson picked off this pass!

[M3GTR]

i remember watching this live. Woodson had the most amazing season ive ever witnessed from a college player. I dont think theres ever been a better prospect at defensive back than Woodson, not even Patrick Peterson.

[BaconFrisbee]

The Honey Badger has got nothing on Woodson.

[1thruten]

Woodson looks like The Honey badger

[1997goblue]

i miss hearing hail to the victors over and over against msu

[mosesgoblue90]

Hoke at 1:10

[mosesgoblue90]

End of the video thats hoke talking to woodson 1:14

[jmf879]

ya he's right he was about 15 feet off the ground when he caught it

[bigdogg4lyfe]

I love the refs reaction to the pick... he knows whats up

[abzjr]

Is that Brady Hoke hugging Woodson at 1:15?

[SniperAssassin35]

@abzjr yessir def cordinater from 95-02

[bslug11]

Go Blue!

[byronlam24]

every body talks about the pick but nobody talks about the choke slam #55 issued some spartan in the backround

[evansands]

I'm so happy to have this guy on the Packers.

Go Pack go!

[BobbyDigital83]

Nice shot of Brady Hoke @ 1:15

[jimmyamanita]

What an amazing season!

He was amazing against OSU!

But, this was absolutely superhuman!

[bernie7044]

He was a real treat to watch I tell ya.

[wolverineluke]

Brady Hoke sighting at 1:07 until the end of the video

[SpartyFan1213]

MSU fan here but Woodson is a freak and that is one of the best catches I have ever seen

[DealerCamel]

Check out the ref's energetic fist pump after Woodson grabs it. Just throws his hand out like, "Hell yes, Michigan ball!"

[gradybunch24]

Brady Hoke hugging Woodson at the end...it was destiny he returned

[fluffynoses]

this is why woodson is the only man ever to win the heisman as a defensive player

[ajmayer0673]

Mad ups to

[smitdog6767]

My favorite part (after the obvious) is watching Dhani Jones absolutely destroy the receiver behind Woodson

[vollste]

Brady Hoke will have other Woodson's...patience.

[spewintothis]

Amazing play by Woodsson, but it's only a college play. It never would have counted in the NFL.

[MyPWNisBlocked]

HOKE!

[Nikosweetz]

That's a bad man!

[billsblots]

Guess who's there at about 1:14 mark to congratulate him? Brady Hoke, check it out. Brady, good luck dude, but there are no Charles Woodsons on your roster this year.

[jejesdad]

@billsblots There were no Denard Robinson's on that team either, but this team is doing fine just like that team did fine. Not saying we're BCS Title good, but this team seems to be the real deal.

[phillyspartanfan]

I was there for this one and as a Spartan in my freshman year at MSU, it was a bitter pill to swallow. But what can you say? Charles Woodson was a great player and this Michigan team was a great team.

[MichiganFan39]

this plays runs blood down my back thru my legs

[singlechuck]

Woodson was a Beast then And now in 2011 how many cheateyes and spartys playa's can put up his Numbers in the time he graduated till now? Oh wait Tom Brady oh wrong school. Go Blue Coach Hoke n Coach Matt......... Awesome BABY and no 250'000 penalty. Go Blue

[tbmike23]

At 1:10 you see Brady Hoke coaching to him. Hell yeah!

[LilMike1309]

Greatest pick CB football has seen and what i mean by that is look what hes done for his career since michigan to now.. no one deserves the super bowl more than woodson... Won heisman as a CB.. got defensive rookie of the year and won defensive player of the year as a CB only Deion was able to do that.. Charles Woodson is one of my favorite and best Football players all time

[onblock7]

OMFG, fins fan but he is one of my faves ever! I love this dude at corner! I hate MICH TOO! IT TOOK ME YEARS to stop hating and warm up to him, but he is one of the best ever at corner, period! Glad he got his damn ring too! GO CHARLES!

[jdog030590]

And he finally has the hardware in the nfl. Go Woodson, and Go Blue!

[flugplatz21]

The best part is Dhani Jones #55 just taking out the WR after the ball is touched. Legal hit, free shot, and that '97 D never passed on a good hit. Ask David Boston how much he likes Marcus Ray.

[wlaveck]

Brady Hoke congratulates Woodson at 1:13.

[abaj99]

There is a recent alabama interception where the guy is in the air past the out of bounds line, hits it to his teammate who intercepts it.

[hayescola]

@abaj99 Not alabama game. oklahoma st vs oklahoma

[JEWHUNTER691]

3 people are spartan fans

[Devinwilson5]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[Savage5854]

that sums up charles woodson, if you ever throw it near him, he gonna make a play, thats why no one does

[daha33]

I remember watching this live on tv and saying WTF. 13 years later I still enjoy watching charles woodson play football

[mudsquid]

The best pick ever made.

[michgoblue24]

Charles Woodson HAS lived up to the hype in pro

[dreamwarrior22]

I love how the ref signals wolverine ball with authority right there. GO BLUE!!!!

[Ns205]

Brings tears to my eyes to see once what was MICHIGAN football...now look at us....4-0 right now who knows how we'll be when we play the BIG TEN TEAMS

[jjjhs08]

@Ns205 10 times in college football history has a QB passed and ran for over 200 yards each in a game.....2 of them are denard robinson and hes played 5 career games...id be happy if i were you lol

[Ns205]

@jjjhs08 As impressive as Denard Robinson is I am not happy with Michigan Football. I know offensively we are putting up points but our Defense is atrocious. They give up alot of points ...Hope we can make a bowl game this year.

[TheMtm12]

Dougwright8907 ur right. It's just not traditional big ten, pro-style football. He belongs somwhere else

[TheMtm12]

No dirtyfacecapon3 is right because woodson was great in the NFL, but everyone expected him to be the next night train lane or Deion sanders

[drewwesolowski]

@DirtyFaceCapon3... shut up your coming off stupid. he is easily in the top 5 best defensive backs ever. the heisman is the best athlete in college football. he played offense defense and special teams and im sure he was serving nachos in the big house stands at half time

[jpsartrean]

Think he "completed the process"??

[DirtyFaceCapon3]

Best college corner back i ever saw.Even though he hasnt totally lived up to the hype coming out of college, he's still one of the top 5 CB's in the NFL today

[koolaidkid231]

@DirtyFaceCapon3 how is he one of the top CB's in the league...has been one for most of the last decade...but somehow doesn't live up to the hype???

[DirtyFaceCapon3]

@koolaidkid231 Don't get me wrong, he's a very good pro, but i thought he was a once in a lifetime talent at cb.I thought when it was all said and done, there was going to be Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson....The two best defensive backs to ever play the game.....that's why i say he hasnt TOTALLY lived up to the hype or what i expected him to be

[mattm172]

I didnt know that was woodson I thought it was Tim Biakabutuka

[Fallen2Hope]

what a fuckin catch and what a fuckin hit onthe QB aahahaha

[mattv03]

That is why he is still the greatest cb that has ever played.

[toddandjillian]

sick...just sick.

[AboveAllNations]

Antonio Cromartie's interception off of Peyton Manning was better.

[Jaredi23i]

@AboveAllNations that one was great too but i'm more impressed with woodsons. he had to jump way higher than cromartie did. plus the ball was in the air longer for cromartie. but i'd have to say both plays are amazing

[michiganwolverine17]

@AboveAllNations not even close.

[fluffynoses]

@AboveAllNations wow. just wow. you just completely killed all your credibility. please do not comment on anymore football related videos ever again

[AquaMan2342]

This play, the punt return against Ohio State, and the pick in the end zone later in the OSU game the very next play after Dee Miller was talking smack to Woodson were the three greatest plays of that season.

[JP2times2007]

The Ref's turnover signal makes this catch ten times better ...watch the first replay

[InRichRodWeTrust]

AMAZING CATCH!!!

[1k9e8n1]

woodson is probably the last Heisman winner I remember to do really good in the NFL.

[superstarlex32]

INCREDIBLE...the stuff that legends are made of!! Charles Woodson will always be THE man at U-M!!

[kiltedhammer]

@superstarlex32

He was but one of THE men at UM that year, his teammate Marcus Ray is on the list as well. Remember the hit Ray put on Curtis Enis? ;)

That said, the 2 of them (and Desmond Howard) are in my top 3 favorite UM players ever.

[sdbsingle1]

MSU's guy got driven into the ground. Woodson is 1 of the best college DB's ever!

Heisman well deserved my friend.

[cmrossier]

Easily the best pick I've ever seen, probaby the best catch I've ever seen, and maybe the best football play I've ever seen. That takes a freak.

[idkmybffjohnccms]

@cmrossier you must have not seen tyrone prothos catch

[flugplatz21]

@idkmybffjohnccms Watched the UM MSU game in Jamaica, never forget this catch, but yeah, Prothro's was insane, too. Really too bad his career ended soon after. Two of the sickest highlights, for polar opposite reasons. Saw Chris Carter draw a PI flag, fall down, and catch a bullet one-handed with the nose of the ball in his palm. Turned his hand under the ball held on for the TD. Arrington x2 vs FLA, J Avant vs NW, and M Walker vs OSU all had sick catches. UM fan, did you guess?

[amazin465]

@cmrossier best pick, but not the best catch. cris carter vs buccaneers 1998 with the vikings

[ZMoney514]

This play still gives me goosebumps.

[MK12082]

@ZMoney514 Straight up

[dougwright8907]

boricua616: u r a fu*#ing retard. richrod didnt give mcgufie a chance to do anything. richrod is a dumbass and doesnt belong in the BIG TEN. UM is power house not spread. u tard

[CzaBehave]

This got linked to an ESPN page 2 column. Nice.

[zzbraman]

i know that qb for msu

[soad2244]

that sucks i'm sorry... :(

[ryansky32]

great play by a great player. those were the glory days huh? too bad mcguffie just transferred and richrod is proving to be quite the joke... but oh well we can always look back and remember when the university of michigan had something to be proud of.

[boricua616]

Too bad McGuffie was a pussy who couldnt handle gettin hit by Big Ten defenses. Rich Rodriguez is doing a great job of recruiting and anyone would of gone 3-9 with those bums Threet and Sheridan at QB. You must of forgot about Forcier, D Robinson, and D Gardner commits to Michigan at QB.

Go Blue!!!

[imkool51391]

if u had had 3 concussions in 1 year, u would leave too dont be actin like he was scared to play in the big ten

[boricua616]

OK but he still couldnt take Big Ten football. Call it what you want it, it was too tough for him. He's not used to the bruising of the Big Ten, he'd be better suited at an SEC school but then again their speed outshines his. I guess Rice is a good school for him.

[imkool51391]

he runs a 4.3 so no their speed doesnt outshine his

[boricua616]

He cant take a hit.

[SplinterCell128]

His speed doesn't matter, whenever mcguffie would get touched he would fall down.

[shel2185]

Pro Bowler!!!!!

[GiardinaBoyz04]

woodson is the best player in that league. he is on the nfl green bay packers and he is still gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­od

[TheInstantClassic12]

Woodson is greatness!

[stag7882004]

when i saw Woodson make this play i predicted he would win the Heismann, and he did.

[chrisuncleahmad]

After this game, how did the Spartans fare the rest of the year?

[Cromulus420]

Including the Michigan-Michigan State game they went 2-4 and finished 7-5 on the year.

[IsoscelesKramer71]

That interception put Charles at the top of the Heisman list.

[silverandblack68]

It doesn't get any better than that.

[jbmadvids4401]

A radio audio with Frank Beckmann screaming "Michigan ball!" or something to that effect would make it complete.

[MrNanny]

Still the greatest single play I've seen.

[bulleyoh]

Go Blue!! I'm glad he's a Packer!!

[kobraf150]

The only one I like :)

[papereater32]

GO BLUE!
