Tee Martin. He was not a good passer. His accuracy was awful. When you look at his stats in the big games in 1998, Florida, Georgia, Syracuse, and Arkansas, he was below 50% as a passer. Below 100 yards vs. Florida.
But there are some people who still think that QBs deserve credit for wins and championships. As if this isn’t a team game. That defense and OLine/running game carried him to a championship.
Tee was an okay QB. But he’s regularly ranked among the best in UT history. He wasn’t close to that.
And yes, I know about the 23 straight completions. It came against a South Carolina team that won one game all year. And those passes were not downfield. He was a 57% passer WITH that game.
