[7 45 33 48]

I would take the 1996 Michigan loss over any loss that I have ever seen. I thought the way Ohio State played against Indiana was a team looking ahead. I finally thought this was Cooper's year, it wasn't meant to be as long as Coop was head coach. Only getting 3 field goals inside the 10 with that offensive line was pathetic. I think losing Joe Montgomery factored in not getting a TD and he was bigger loss than people realize. That offense really didn't do anything the last 3 games without him.

The 1995 team was not a perfect team. Yes, the offense was near perfect. The run defense was horrendous all season. Allowed 9 100 yard rushers. Freshman Enis ran all over them. Notre Dame's Dusty Kinder and Marc Edwards ran all over that defense. Cooper's long time DC left after that season. He ran some passive bull[censored] defense and rarely blitzed. Bellisari was not suited to play MLB and Kevin Johnson wasn't anything special at OLB. I really don't think it would mattered if Ohio State would have won this game anyways. Nebraska would have been out right champs.
