I thought it was the Tie the following week against Illinois that wrapped up the rose bowl bid

[WolverineHistorian]

We got a share of the conference title after this game. The next week against Ilinois gave us the Rose Bowl bid.

Derrick Alexander was awfully graceful and deceptively fast also, such a gifted WR.

I think michigan fans should have something else to talk about than northwestern. Barnett did what it took to win.

@DMichiganWol21 Barnett wasn't the only cheater on the team. Northwestern RB Dennis Lundy intentionally fumbled the football 2 seasons later in a game against Iowa to cover a point spread. He spent a month in jail in 1999 for lying to a grand jury about the incident.

This was my first "road game" !! I was sitting in the top row with a very cold wind (with snow flurries) in my face. And NW RAN OUT OF HOT CHOCOLATE !! (My wife hasn't forgiven them still to this day :)

[Jackwraith]

Best QB we've ever had at that play, bar none. He stood in the pocket for 2 or 3 seconds sometimes with the ball on his hip, waiting for someone to get open...

Man, Grbac had some ridiculous play-action fakes.

[DMichiganWol21]

I couldnt stand Gary Barnett and I still can't. He cheated at Northwestern and cheated at Colorado. He may be a good coach but cheating is cheating. I wish Moeller would have shown class by just shaking his hand and letting the scoreboard speak for itself. That's just me. GO BLUE!

P.S. I use to love Derrick Alexander when I was a kid.

[Jackwraith]

That's the current 'illegal substitution' rule that the NCAA instituted specifically to deal with Moeller's trick, especially after Lou Holtz bitched about it rather loudly after that year's UM/ND game. I think this was the game in which Moeller refused to shake Barnett's hand, too, which may be why you see the scenes of Barnett looking around for someone at the end. Barnett never forgave him for that.
