Norris Weese was the Rebels QB. I was 12 years old. What year was it?

Gary Valubuena, Randy Wallace, and Condredge Holloway all played QB that year.  It was Condredge's sophomore year, and remember that freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity football then.

I don't think Wallace got any playing time that season (freshman thing, I guess).  Valbuena played in all 11 games, so it appears he split time with Holloway, but I think Holloway started all 11 games.

Wallace actually came to UT to play baseball, and ended up playing both football and baseball.  He played quite a few years of minor league baseball after he graduated from UT.  Don't think he ever made it to The Show, however.

Wasn't Wallace the QB when the Vols lost to the Mean Green of North Texas State?   :biggrin:
