The Stoerner fumble is probably the only big play in UT history where I prefer the national broadcast call to John Ward’s.

That was Sean McDonough, right?

The quibble I have is the RG tripped Sterned because Bill Ratliff bull rushed him into the backfield.
When Ratliff broke off to recover the fumble he was a good 5 yards into the backfield, he dived BACk towards the line
That play was all on Ratliff, his intensity and refusal to quit :nod:

The fact that he told Tee to put his damn helmet back on because he was gonna get the ball back, and then he went out and did it, makes that play legend.

I think John was so monotone and even-keeled on that play because he'd just seen the UT offense squander a golden opportunity to win the game on the previous possession. Tee was having a terrible game. I remember thinking myself that it didn't really matter that we'd gotten the ball back because the offense couldn't do anything with it. Then Travis Henry decided to show off.

If we'd given the ball to Henry more earlier in the game (stupid creativity in the 3rd quarter 1st and goal at the 5), and fed him in '99...

In fairness, Jamal should have gotten more touches in Little Rock in the '97. Grrr. I love Cut, but he outthought himself too much.

Yes it was! And until this day every time I hear his voice on TV it takes me back to that Ark game.

That last drive was just will and not be denied. The way the game is meant to be played. I'm old school....line up and whip the man's ass in front of you. Problem is the last umpteen years our OL hasn't been able to do that as a whole unit. There is nothing better than to see a defense waive the white flag in the 4th quarter because the offense has whipped them into the next week.
