98 squad vs 2001 squad

[BJWeeks]

Who would win?

 

[Mr. Rockytop]

Wouldn't some of a few players be on the same team ?

 

[bigtime]

yeah

 

[NEW COACH]

:blink:

 

[rustyshackleford]

2001 would have a better offense....
1998 would have a better defense....
...I'd take 98' that just had something special that year, that no matter what they could pull the games through

 

[BJWeeks]

01 squad was all freshman in 98 mostly. Im talkin about starters.

 

[Jaytrain5]

No doubt, the 98 team.

I'd just hand it to Jamal.

 

[NEW COACH]

:unsure: uhh, you're joking..........right?

 

[chavisut]

No doubt, the 98 team.

I'd just hand it to Jamal.

nothing against J. Lewis, but when I think of the 98 team, I think of Travis Henry.

 

[Jaytrain5]

:unsure: uhh, you're joking..........right?

About what?

 

[NEW COACH]

Jamal. I wouldn't count him since he didn't even play half the season.

 

[GenNeyland9]

'98 was probably better at every position except for TE (Finlayson v. Witten), and DT (2001 had Haynesworth and Henderson). Both teams loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, and strong in the trenches.

 

[Jaytrain5]

nothing against J. Lewis, but when I think of the 98 team, I think of Travis Henry.

Of course...Henry stepped up and had a great season.

Prior to his injury though, Jamal was having a fantastic year as Tennessee's feature back.

 

[Jaytrain5]

Jamal. I wouldn't count him since he didn't even play half the season.

How can you not "count him?" He was on the team.

He was largely responsible for Tennessee's wins over Syracuse and Auburn before going down for the season.

If 01 squad beat lsu in sec championship would we have beat miami to claim another championship?

I think it would have been a competitive game...but Miami was just too good.

 

[NEW COACH]

Miami would've spanked us.

 

[tennfanatic]

Miami would've spanked us.

That 01 team was capable of beating anyone. I think Miami would have probably won but they were definitely beatable.

 

[TheDeeble]

If 01 squad beat lsu in sec championship would we have beat miami to claim another championship?

I doubt it.

 

[ttrogvol]

Miami would have won by multiple TDs......IMO that was the best team I have ever seen in college football.

The only way I could have seen them losing that year was if there was a team that could sneak up on them. (Like Boston College or VT) Coker wasn't the best in game coach. But I doubt Miami would have had a hard time getting up for the championship. I would say Miami by 20-30.

Agreed.

 

[tvolsfan]

2001 would have a better offense....

Just so you know, the 1998 team scored more points a game than the 2001 team.

 

[kptvol]

The '98 team would completely destroy the 2001 team. There hasn't been an SEC team since 1998 that I don't think that team would beat.

1995 Nebraska would've beaten 2001 Miami like a redheaded step child.
