Nostalgia Series: The greatest Michigan team of the 21st century

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the trip back to 1973 because it’s time to go back to the future (“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads”) or at least to a more recent past.

A brief 12 years ago, Michigan possessed a dominant defense and balanced offense in one of the most talent-rich eras of Michigan football.

I will forget someone, but off the top of my head the talent impact personnel looked like this: Coach Lloyd Carr, Leon Hall, LaMarr Woodley, Alan Branch, Shawn Crable, Prescott Burgess, David Harris, Rondell Biggs, Jake Long, Mark Bihl, Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham, Steve Breaston, Adrian Arrington, and even kicker Garrett Rivas was a Lou Groza finalist in 2006.
