Michigan Wolverines 1997 and 2003 similarities

The 1997 and 2003 seasons had alot of similarities:

-they were the only season's under Lloyd Carr in which Michigan won an outright Big Ten championship
-They were the only season's under Carr in which Michigan beat their three-hated rivals (Notre Dame, Michigan State, Ohio State) in the same season
-And they were the only seasons under Carr in which they had a player get invited to New York for the Heismen ceremony (Charles Woodson in 1997 and Chris Perry in 2003)

Well, there were also several plays from these two season's that look almost IDENTICAL. Here they are. Enjoy the video!!!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Ohio State game was on November 22 in both seasons. (as well as 1969 along with probably many others)

@Knightmessenger excellent point

@TreyDoyle4 I was never cheering against Michigan. NEVER. I was hoping we'd be where Auburn and Oregon are right now. Alas, it did not happen. Shit, we only went 7-6 in dickrods third year on the job. He HAD to be fired!

@Poole1Dan

LoL, the fact that you made it a point to come back to this...months after the fact is pretty pathetic. But not nearly as pathetic as you spending all fall cheering AGAINST "your team". Characteristics of a true douche bag.

@TreyDoyle4 Dickrod is GONE!!!! Like I said he'd be!!!!

Go Blue!

@headstrong420 I don't think the play calls have to be the same for the plays to essentially look the same, you know what I mean?

[headstrong420]

number 3 the one with woodson was a zone coverage and the 2003 season that was man on man

@RequiemForABuckeye And in your case, I don't blame you one bit.

@lovdahuskers In my honest opinion, it would've been a battle of not only offense and defense but underrated offense vs underrated defense. Who knows how the game would have turned out? In all honesty, I think Nebraska and Penn State would have played each other close, either some 10-7 game (in which case I give the edge to Nebraska) or a 35-34 shootout (in which case I give the edge to Penn State). And the Big Ten as a whole in 1997 wasn't bad, it was maybe just Big Three, Little Eight.
