And all i have to say is that was some defense we had. Zorich was an absolute stud!! I can't believe the speed we had too. Obviously the highlights of it were Rocket's two AMAZING returns but that defense was star studded. I really see our defense moving back into that form with a couple years. LETS GO IRISH. Kill the skunks tomorrow.

It's amazing how much the game has changed since then.
Everything was compacted and IMO much easier to defend.
They ran the FB dive like 20 times.
Now everything is spread out and you're forced to cover the entire field.

I was at that game. What a memorable experience! Still remember Rocket's returns. Also remember the MI fans throwing stuff at us (a metal spring, beer, anything they could find). they weren't happy. Was it raining that game. Seem to remember having ponchos on, and that was the only thing keeping us protected from the "showers".
