Heath was right about that 92 team. Had we not had off the fields issues I truly think we are playing Miami for the NC

And Heath had the strongest arm I ever saw from a UT QB. He had a damn rocket launcher attached to his shoulder.

He looks more and more like his dad.

I went to the same HS a few years ahead of Heath. It was incredible watching him play against the normal HS player.

Best college QB I ever saw right up until I saw Peyton as a SO. I believe it was Cinn and I saw him throw about a 60 yd pass on a rope in a driving rainstorm. We have had some guys that could sling it, but, he had the strongest arm I have ever seen in college.

He was a big part of the reason we got Peyton to look at us during his recruitment, IMHO. He started a string of high quality quarterback prospects that we were able to recruit to Tennessee that lasted through Eric Ainge.

Yes he did. TRob too. Ainge could also spin it.

T-Rob was awesome, but I recall Tim McGee having to come back and beat the DB on multiple under thrown deep balls.

Tee threw the prettiest deep ball I have seen a Vol QB throw...typically hitting Peerless in stride.

I would include Bray in that as well. Say what you want, but, man, could he throw it.

We had another as well, a red headed kid that played for Dallas for a while, he could spin it too, Stephens maybe, his name escapes me.

Great combo. I can still recall a beautifully thrown deep ball vs Kentucky right in front of me in '89 or '90. Kelly just threw it as far as he could, I didn't think there was any way Carl was gonna get there, but he did with ease as it turned out and took it to the house. Thing of beauty.

When I think of those two I always recall the deep ball for a TD vs Auburn in '85....TRob hit him right in stride in the endzone.

Saw him at Arky in 93 I think. Was just throwing lasers all over the yard that day.

Just reading your post made me smile! Good memories for me and a huge reason I'm a Vol fan. Kelly was a bad dude! Id give a golden nickel for Pickens to be on team 120!

Heath Shuler had a cannon and was a heck of a dual threat guy for his time. I remember losing to ARK in 92 but I had forgotten about S Car I guess.

My dad till this day says T Robinson could've been one of the best QB's we ever had. I was too young to remember him though.

Thanks for the smile my friend

As good as it has been, it's not even close to what we are waiting for. #120 is my favorite team of all time.

I was at the 92 TN/SC game and couldn't believe I witnessed the Vols lose to SC. Shuler was a great QB just wish he would have stayed for his Sr year and I think he has said he should have also.

The 1991 Auburn game was outstanding. I believe Kelly hit Pickens a few times to scores.

Nasa - you have to be under 40 and not have seen Shuler while you were an adult in order to have a level comparison. No knock at all against Bray or Stephens, but Shuler was at a different level both in arm strength and overall athleticism. If you have time, find the Georga game on youtube where it went back and forth between Shuler and Zeier.
