In 1992, Fulmer stepped in when Majors had his heart issue and proceeded to win the first 4 games of the season.  Majors came back the Monday before the LSU game and UT won in Baton Rouge. Then came the “slide” which included bad losses to two really weak teams (an Arkansas team that lost to the Citadel in its opening game & South Carolina).

One nit to pick.  Fulmer is credited with winning the first three games of 1992 -- including wins over ranked Florida (4) and Georgia (14).  His fourth win came in the Hall of Fame Bowl against Boston College (16) after Majors was officially no longer the head coach.  I believe Majors was back for the Cincinnati game prior to LSU.

Yep. Came back and got back-to-back shutouts over Cincy and LSU before losing three straight to Arky, Bammer, and Cackalacky. Man, how good were we looking at 5-0 with wins over UGA and UF and two shutouts? That Arkansas game was one of the first I ever went to and was an amazingly deflating experience.

Except for Cincy, the offensive production really dropped off after Majors came back.  I recall the general feeling that Fulmer was more open with the offense than Majors.  Considering that Arky and SC were one-point losses, that was perceived as huge.

Win the Arky game and we are the first SEC E champion and 98 doesn't happen.  

Was the best worse lose in our history imo.

I think people forget, Arkansas was actually WINLESS at the time

Nope. They had thumped South Carolina earlier that year. But they did suck, and nobody has forgotten that.
