[NU Sports] 17+ point leads

[Labbe John]

Who knows if you're right about blowing big leads, but we've also  
enjoyed more than a few classic games where we were the team that  
rallied from a big deficit:

Michigan 1996 - down 16-0 at the start of the 4th quarter; we won 17-16
Minnesota 2000 - down by 21 in the third quarter; we won by a touchdown
Iowa 2005 - down by 13 with just 3:30 to play and no timeouts; we won  
by 1
Minnesota 2007 - down by 21 in the third quarter; we won in overtime
Indiana 2009 - rallied from 25 down to win by 1
