1990 Tenn 6 Tide 9. Vols had kicked the $hit out of little Steve and the Gators the week before 45-3.
I agree with what you’re saying. I think if we did play revisionist history on that game the game could’ve possibly been a wider margin given the amount times that Grossman fumbled that were called incomplete passes. I seem to remember on more than one occasion where he was hit pretty good and with replay it would’ve been Tennessee ball. The flip side of that, is that we would’ve had about 10 targeting penalties in that game.Throwing shade? I included that game as one of the most crushing losses in UF history, I called it one of the greatest games I’ve seen UT play, I complimented UT’s talent on that team, I said it was a great game and I’m saying now it was well-deserved and earned by Tennessee. That’s throwing shade?
Someone came along and said it would have been a blowout if not for Witten having fumbles. That’s a weird take on a great UT win. Let the game stand without all the “ifs, ands, and buts,” because both sides can claim that. For every Witten drop, there was an equal screw up on the other side, from a Grossman pick to a couple costly missed tackles by Gus Scott. UT won, fair and square, no sense in revising the game with hypotheticals.
Georgia State
Your opinionNope. Memphis in 96 was much worse. We were ranked in the top 10. We had Peyton Manning. Memphis wasn’t even close to being ranked. We should have hung 60 on them.
It’s been stated on here that a success of a team seats on QB play. In 96 we had really good QB play. For Georgia State we didn’t have a QB that would have starter for the vast majority of P5 teams.
The Memphis loss is easily much worse than Georgia State.

The Memphis loss was dumbfounding but didn’t set us back.it cost us a chance at a major bowl and that’s it. We won the National championship 2 years later. The Ga St loss was less surprising but hurt worse because it clearly lost us some recruits. It might have stung enough to cost us the BYU game the next week.Your opinion
I was at that one. The roughing the passer penalty still chaps my butt.
LOL Targeting Penalties Dale Carter would have never had a complete game during the 1990 season !I agree with what you’re saying.
