The big difference between Joey and Nico is that Joey doesn't strike me as the kind of QB who will be satisfied with his own stats (attemp/comple/int/td) if the team still loses. He will play to win even if his stats suffer in the final 2 minutes.

.....and the elite college coaches will take this stew of unknowns and turn them into a winning team. Those that don't will make excuses.

I think this applies most anytime - but I get your point.

I sincerely hope you're right. But you're comparing pre-NIL teams with post-NIL teams. NIL has affected team chemistry in probably every D1 school. This is a learning curve for most college coaches (and fans). From now on, its all about 2 numbers - compensation level and personal game-stats.

With some (not all) it is a culture problem starting with poor parenting. Money only fuels the dysfunction.

That idiot had so much talent on his ‘16 team its incredible. I’m not even going to start listing NFL bound players, you know who they were.

I think he is a good coach perhaps even a great coach. However, I don't understand... Milton over Hooker No QB run attack with Nico Loss at Arky in '24 Very predictable alternating run calls in '24 Prep for Ohio State game in CFP I'm sure there are UGA, UF, Ala, etc. fans who question details...

QB - P Manning WR - J Hyatt WR - C Pickens WR - Alvin Harper TE - J Witten RB - Chuck Webb FB - Roland Poles

....to add to this a bit more. Miss State went 8-5 in 1998.....and represented the SEC west in the SECCG. They weren't even ranked! They had a 6-2 record in the SEC and tied Arky in the west. And....as you said,.....they led UT in the 4th quarter.

You didn't address the SEC level of play/quality. FSU's QB play, etc. Nevertheless, you're making my point. Re-read what you just posted. Miss State? Really? Beating draft picks isn't legit. If you want to use that logic, UT beat Miami with V Test at QB - the #1 pick and first $1 million QB in...

I went to several of the games that year and had tickets to the NC game but couldn't go due to work. It was a great season - no doubt. "Why?" you ask? Here's why.... The SEC was incredibly down that year - no Saban at Ala. No Meyers at UF. No one special at LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, South...

Thanks Freak. Can't always visit all the links. This helps.

This is definitely UT’s signature win of the era. Before then? UT vs Miami 85; UT vs Notre Dame at South Bend.

E$PN The second letter is ALL they care about.

I listened until nearly midnight as John Ward announced the 1998 national championship game and after game radio talk show. I heard him sign off the last time for UT football after that game. I knew that a significant page in UT history had ended as I had listed to him since the 1970s. Back when...
