year for Michigan and was a starting linebacker in 1984. I told him I was a BYU fan, so we started talking about our schools and the 1984 Holiday Bowl. My barber said BYU was the best team he'd played all year. Keep in mind that they played Miami (the U, not Ohio), Washington, and Ohio St that year, but he said coach Bo Schembechler was actually pretty worried about their chances from the get-go despite all his bravado with the press.He also said there was a lot of pressure on the school to win the game from the other schools. He said several coaches and assistants came from other programs around the country as advisors to help Michigan prepare for the BYU game, and kept preaching about big of a deal it would be if a school like BYU were to win the national championship. All the pressure got to the team, apparently, and BYU was just too good to keep up with for four quarters.
