Unfinished Business

There remains a lot of bad blood between the Wolverines and Cornhuskers, after many felt that Michigan should have had a sole national title in 1997, after Nebraska’s “soccer play” in the end zone that should have cost them the game against Missouri, and a sense that the co-championship was a retirement gift to their coach.

Well, tonight, the issue as to who’s the best will definitely be resolved, at least this year, though of course it will tell us nothing about what would have happened in a matchup between the 1997 teams.
