Over the next month, BTN will profile 18 different classic games, ranging from 2007-2014.
The second game on the slate is the 2008 Capital One Bowl, which featured Michigan vs. Florida, and it will air at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday on BTN/BTN2Go.
This was Lloyd Carr's last game as the head coach at Michigan, and he went out on a high note. Chad Henne passed for 373 yards and three touchdowns and the Wolverines upset Florida, 41-35, which gave this Wolverines senior class their first bowl win.
Here is a breakdown of the 2008 Capital One Bowl game, highlighting the top moment, stat line and individual player.
Top Moment: Michigan coach Lloyd Carr is doused with water and several Wolverines carry him onto the field following his final game. Not one for the spotlight, Carr wanted to get back down to the ground pretty much right away. Watch it in the video below.
Top Stat Line: Michigan capitalized on 10-of-15 3rd downs in the game (67 percent), while holding Florida to just 2-of-11 on 3rd downs (18 percent).
Top Player: Henne was 25-39 for 373 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.
