In the past year, I received over 20 requests from folks wanting to see highlights of this game. The most memorable thing about it was obviously the weather: rain, sleet, snow and a wind chill of 30 below. The field was mud and water. We had plenty of chances to score but could never get it done inside the 10 yard line. I wish the picture quality was better.
Game played on November 11, 1995 in Ann Arbor.

I had heard that this was the one game where ABC let Bob Griese broadcast a Michigan game with his son starting at QB in 1995.
But obviously, this not the case as it was on ESPN.
After, Driesbach got hurt against OSU in 96, they saw that he did okay with Brian playing so they let him and Jackson do all of the Michigan ABC games in 1997.

@Knightmessenger Bob Griese was in the broadcast booth watching this one but didn't do any play by play. I forgot to mention earlier that it was after this game that Lloyd Carr had the "Interim" label removed from his coaching title.
