B/R Suggests 10 Best

[OrangeByBirth]

Here is one suggestion for the top 10 all-time Vol footballers. It's hard to argue with any of them and there are plenty of others that could be considered.

[Boca Vol]

Thanks for sharing.

The only one I would consider replacing would be Travis Henry. Who I would replace him, I don't know. Carl Pickens, Steve DeLong, Dale Jones? That's a tough one. The other 9 are locks, IMO.

Pictures of Peyton and Reggie should have been in Vols Uniforms.

Hank Lauricella maybe?

I am pleased to see that some people,writers and fans, recognize that some of our best players played more than 25 ears ago.

Agreed. But to his credit, he holds the school records for rushing yards (3,078),and 100-yard performances (15). He's 3rd in rushing attempts (556).

Henry had a legendary stiff arm. A stiff arm from hell.

 

[UTVOLKeith]

very poor piece

 

[orangeluvr]

WTH ! No Jim Bob Cooter ! :realmad: :thud:

That's just it...the numbers are there, for sure. That's why I don't know who I would replace him with.

twss

His arm wasn't the only stiffie that caused him problems.

Hank Lauricella maybe?

In my mind, a clear cut "next in line" if you go that far. As to replacing anyone it would be a tough choice.

Yea, but he's definitely the only one I would be ok with removing really

 

[volfan4evr]

I could not go back in history and recent history and single out 10 players. There have been so many in our history that I would have to make it the top 100.

There are 10 women who can back that up

 

[triad280]

Steve Kiner probably needs to be on that list

 

[Boston Vol]

Gene McEver, Bob Johnson, and John Henderson deserve consideration.

 

[dduncan4163]

No way I would replace Henry. The Cheese was simply one of the best RBs we ever had in Knoxville. Watching him run over and carry defenders during that 98 Arkansas is still one of the biggest moments in my Vol life.

Henry was unstoppable on that last drive

 

[HoptownVol]

Doesnt Cafego have any grandchildren? I loved that man, if we had 20 like him we'd never lose another game to Bama or especially Vanderbilt. LOL

 

[VolsnRavens]

G I V E H I M S I X. That's all...TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE! I so miss John Ward calling games. I wish we had a legacy game caller instead of Bob (monotone) Kesling. They should at least audition for the job.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Eric Berry deserves to be much higher on the list.

He has a very serious argument as the best DB in college football history.

Conservative IMO.
