I have been a Tennessee Season ticket holder since 1993. Some of the people I work with were asking me about the best opposing teams and players I saw play. I had alot of fun giving my answers. I based my picks only on the preformance's I saw in person.
Best RB preformance: Robert Edwards Georgia 1996
Best QB: Danny Wuerffel Fla (I hated him but he was a great college QB).
Best Defense: 1992 Alabama
Best Offense: 1996 Fla
Best team: 2002 Miami.

Still have yet to be at a UTK game in person, but I saw the Ducks play in Eugene this year which was cool.

Thats a cool list OP, but TN never played Miami in 2001. Your list says it is teams that were "opposing" TN. Do you mean 2002?

I know people are gonna say I'm retarded when I say this but I couldn't believe how athletic Ryan Williams was from Va Tech last year.......Don't know if he was the "best" I've seen but pretty good....Also Oregon this season was by far the fastest team I have seen....Maybe there were faster players on teams we have played but that offense was RIDICULOUS!!

2010 Oregon is the best offense I've seen in person. 1998 Tennessee is the best defense.

edit: Missed where this was opposing teams only. In that case, the best defense I've seen is probably 2009 Virginia Tech.

I'm shocked that you've made nearly 30,000 posts here, but haven't been in Neyland.

How did you become a Vol fan?

Not trying to be a dick - just curious.

Saw an unbelievable LSU team with Shaq, Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts circa 1992? at Vanderbilt. Shaq had like 20 dunks. They were the best NCAAB team I have ever seen in person. They were major underachievers and had the talent to win the title.

Never really had a favorite team growing up (Oregon State kinda), and played HS ball a couple years behind Ainge, so I adopted UT as my favorite and went from there.

09 Bama is probably the best Defense I've seen IN PERSON. Leaving the UT fb qualification behind, as SDV did, I watched the Bulls @ Hawks in the early 90's, and Michael Vs Charles one year when SirChuck was still in Philly.

Performance: Hardesty's spin move vs South Carolina was special (09)

Quarterback: Manning vs Kentucky (97) Lexington

Defense: vs. Auburn (98) The Barn (The best goal line stand ever!)

Offense: vs. Flordia (92) in the rain

Interesting.

You've got to get to Knoxville some time. There's nothing like an SEC weekend.

Tim Couch at KY.. Tim was a great college QB and one heck of an athelete.. I was in Lexington at one of the UT games and he was grabbed by LB and was tied up he flicked his wrist and slung a pass and hit his reciever right in the numbers. It happened right in front of me and I was like WOW.. Another KY Guy was Moe Williams if hed played anywhere besides UK he would have been better off. I watched him mow down UT defenders trying to tackle him left and right.

UT Players- Heath Shuler
Little Man Stewart- Saw his first carry as a Vol and knew right then he was going to be a great one.
Eric Freaking Berry-
Manning

The 1992 Alabama Defense was just fearsome. UT had a very good offense that year, but Bama just throttled it. Every time Heath Shuler dropped back to pass I just had no expectation that anything good would happen. Eric Curry and John Copeland stand out.

The 1995 Gator game at the Swamp was the worst I have ever seen Tennessee collapse in person, but the team they were playing certainly had a lot to do with it, at least their second half performance.

Yep... The speed at which James, Barner and Thomas run everything is otherworldly.

I was sitting in the endzone 10 rows from the field when Oregon visited Neyland.

It was really hard to find the football the first 3 seconds of any play the Ducks ran.

Watching Jamarcus Russell warming up in 2006 was insane.

His arm could literally be considered a deadly weapon.

Can't remember which year, but when AU came into Neyland with Cadillac and Ronnie Brown...they ran it down our throat....all day.

Probably either '04 Auburn or '10 Oregon. Obviously '09 Alabama was a very good team as well but didn't do anything too impressive in their game against us.
