Back in those days ESPN had a real hard on for the Big 10 and a defensive player winning the award.
'97 was a perfect storm and showed how much influence ESPN can have when it comes to national awards.
I will say this...Nebraska was the better of the two National Champions that year.
Tennessee played them in the orange bowl and it was a massacre. We actually had a chance to win the NC that year but Michigan beat Washington State earlier in the day and the Vols were deflated.
Nebraska certainly took advantage.

It wasn't ESPN it was Disney. They had every Michigan game on and 5 I think as National games with Keith and Bob. Griese voted for Manning.
