I'd take 1999 :wave: Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: Clockwork Orange on August 23, 2012, 07:18:34 EDT Hey, I'm a glass 1/2 full type. If we have young WRs on the roster with the potential of a Henry or Stephens, I would take that in a heartbeat. Also, I hope this team has the mental fortitude to get up off the deck after bad news like that team did.

I don't remember Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: Clockwork Orange on August 23, 2012, 07:23:20 EDT Did we know how good Travis Henry was before Jamal went down. I don't remember He was a highly touted recruit that put up Playstation numbers in high school. On paper I think it was reasonable to expect him, rather than Jamal, to be the best in that RB group (Jamal, Travis, Travis, Dominique Stevenson . . . how sick was it to get that in one class?). But I'm not sure anyone could have expected the UT team not to miss a beat.

I don't remember He was highly touted but had shown nothing. Stephens was the starter at first and was a 3-star type player. So, no, we didn't know.

I don't remember I remember Travis Stephens had a big day in the 1998 Georgia game Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: BanditVol on August 23, 2012, 07:40:12 EDT I remember Travis Stephens had a big day in the 1998 Georgia game Pretty sure that was Henry Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: ReVOLver on August 23, 2012, 07:42:52 EDT Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: Volznut on August 23, 2012, 07:43:05 EDT what? I don't understand the OP
Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: WoodstockVol on August 23, 2012, 07:44:14 EDT Pretty sure that was Henry Stephens ran for 107 yards on 20 carries against Georgia in 98 Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: 10EC on August 23, 2012, 07:48:08 EDT what? I don't understand the OP Losing Jamal (your best player and most of your offense) in '98 Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: buckyvol on August 23, 2012, 08:17:50 EDT I was in Neyland when Travis Henry put the team on his shoulders and pounded out that winning touchdown against Arkansas. He was not going to be stopped. Unbelievable drive in an unbelievable season. Clint Stoerner is still my favorite Arkansas player of all time. Miracles do happen!
Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: Volznut on August 23, 2012, 08:29:37 EDT Losing Jamal (your best player and most of your offense) in '98 yeah but Henry/Stephens were good. Plus that OL.... :cool: Title: Re: Feels like '98 .... just a little earlier Post by: Clockwork Orange on August 23, 2012, 08:35:40 EDT yeah but Henry/Stephens were good. We didn't know they'd be that good. Croom? Howard? Blanc? One can hope they will be good too.

That's my hope. Also, if the run game is better, and it looks like it will be - this becomes less of a loss.

We are going to be fine. |
