[DoctorP1]

lol he fumbled that ball before he crossed the goal line

[WolverineHistorian]

@DoctorP1 lol no he didn't. He was in the endzone when he lost the ball..just like Bob Griese said. Not that it matters. As soon as the ball touches the plane, it's ruled a TD.

This was a schizo Michigan team- beat Colorado and Ohio State, but lost to Purdue and Michigan State.

And for whatever reasons, their annual Notre Dame game was not played that year.

[WolverineHistorian]

Actually, they pounded MSU that year. But yeah, that was a strange team.

I was at all 3 of the M/CU games-'94,'96&'97. The '94 Hail Mary play happened right in front of me. M SHOULD have won that game, but Moeller played not to lose by just trying to run out the clock. After this game, I was right up against the fence slapping high fives with the M players as they came running off the field. About had my hand broke, they were so pumped up. Got on tv though.

That's cool that you were at all 3 games. The teams actually played in 1974 as well with us winning 31-0.

[LogoAttitude]

These teams can now meet in the Rose Bowl

@63Dsl Nope, not really. It just avoided a 2nd embarrassment.

[63Dsl]

wow that was crazy especially the play from 4:25-4:30 and the last play couldve been a td lol...guess that makes up for kordell stewarts hail mary a couple years earlier.

[SuperBrown789]

Detmer was so overated..

[getyoasshome]

@YouCanCallMeAl1022 true it launched florida to #1 but florida lost to FSU at the end of the season....the only reason why florida even won the title is because arizona state lost to ohio state in the rose bowl....talk about needing help....

[NextStep21]

Go Buffs!

[ErikS1975FreeState]

I'm sure this 1996 Michigan win over Colorado helped but I doubt it made up for the 1994 Hail Marry loss to Colorado

[mysteryscience3000]

Detmer almost pulled off Hail Mary part 2....go buffs!!!
