Detroit Free Press launches new podcast remembering 1997 Michigan football team

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Michigan Wolverines going undefeated and winning the 1997 national championship.

That year cemented the legacies for so many in the maize and blue, including Lloyd Carr and Brian Griese, and was the year that Charles Woodson made history as the first primary defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy.

We are debuting a limited series podcast named "Road to the Victors: The story of the 1997 Michigan Wolverines," where we'll flash back to the '97 college football season. We not only track the week-by-week progress of Michigan's run to the Rose Bowl, but also the unprecedented Heisman Trophy race and the last split national title.
