I guess Ohio Vol was on the game planning staff.
Regardless of whether or not the playbook was limited, whatever it was, Tee Martin made it work to the tune of an undefeated season and a National Championship. The supporting cast was at most as talented as the 1997 team, it most definitely was not more talented (in terms of positions being filled by '98 NFL Draftees by future NFL players.)
By playing UK instead of OSU.tee martin didn't make it work. tee martin didn't win a nc for tha vols. tha vols won a nc despite having martin at qb. compare tha defensive stats for 97 and 98, especially tha turnover rates, and there lies tha difference. with peyton at qb, tha vols still win a championship in 98. one more thing, tha heisman winners team does not have to be undefeated at tha end of tha regular season. tha florida game had nothing to do with peyton not winning tha award. peyton went in to tha kentucky game with tha lead for tha heisman. he threw for 500 yards that day and at end of tha day was second in voting for tha heisman. how do you lose tha lead while throwing for 500 yards?
Going on 7. :ermm:
Fine, just because it does go to stat machines sometimes (and 2000 yards is certainly no small task), doesn't mean it should always go to someone else. Who would you have given it to in 1998 anyways.
You tell me. You are the one who seems to use it quite often.500 yards is hard to put up on any d1 school. also, you don't really believe i don't know tha is not a word, do you?
I am also curious as to how you are privy to such insider information. The Heisman is not voted on on a weekly basis, as are the Coaches Poll and AP Poll. So, only one person ever has the lead in the Heisman race...the winner, on the day the award is handed out.peyton went in to tha kentucky game with tha lead for tha heisman. he threw for 500 yards that day and at end of tha day was second in voting for tha heisman.
You tell me. You are the one who seems to use it quite often.
I could care less if 500 yards it hard to put up against any D1 school. Woodson took the Ohio State game into his hands and won the game for Michigan, thus saving their shot at the National Championship. Woodson's performance against Ohio State was far and away more outstanding than Peyton's against UK.
I did not know that being a "real vol fan" required believing in massive conspiracy theories...
However, I am inspired by your post. Being called "stupid" by someone who cannot spell "the" correctly always brightens my day.
Actually, the answer is most Heisman voters are on site at whatever football game they are covering that day. Between setup, pregame, game, and post game, they do not have time to watch ESPN College Game Day. Most are relying on the other writers they work with to tell them how other players and teams looked in their games. These other writers they are relying on...were on site at said games. Again, not watching ESPN College Game Day.
Therefore, what ESPN decides to broadcast has little sway over those actually voting.
