Tony Robinson 6’3” 200 lbs vs Hendon Hooker 6’4” 218

[volfan2024]

True or False.
Equals one qb injury from a 500 season. I love his aggressiveness but that body frame I cringe sometimes when he takes off running.

 

[BACKDOC]

I will guarantee you that Robinson was taller than Hooker.

Not following the logic here. Robinson got hurt and his team was undefeated the rest of the season.

OP

WHY???

Yeah your right, but that was one of the best defenses UT ever put on the field.

You can throw "official" weight and height listings out the window. Along with 40 times.

Of all sports metrics 40 times are the most exaggerated.

Also what do height and weight have to do with knee injuries?

Some things you just don’t type out loud…

T Rob vs Bo Jackson, remember? Legendary- when Hooker gets an upset win over a ranked #1 team, get back to me on a comparison - OUT.

Robinson got hurt from a deliberate direct hit to his knee from a Alabama DL who later played at KC (can't remember his name). I'm not saying it was intentional, but neither am I saying it wasn't. However, we did win out after that game IIRC.

Wasnt it a tie against Ga Tech the following week?

Auburn might have been ranked #1 but they wouldn't even close to a number 1 team. Also, Tennessee might have had the best D in the country.

Well, I lived the ‘85 season. I don’t mean to belittle DD’s great season but Tennessee’s seasons have always been heavily loaded up thru Alabama. 1985 was no different.

Curt Jarvis is the jerk going for the knee.

Good thing we have QUALITY BACK UPS

I thought it was Cornelius Bennett who hit T Rob.

Robinson ran like JJ from good times.

Robinson ran like JJ from good times.

And he threw the ball like a legend. One of the best to wear the orange IMO

That Auburn team lost 4 games that season...Highly over ranked.

You must have just watched him for that half a season because the Robinson I watched made some serious boneheaded plays...Like throwing the ball halfway across the field instead of spiking the ball against Kentucky and watching the time run out while the ball was in mid air, Or hey how about the time he tried running the ball against Maryland while time was running out and we were in field goal range and of course tried to break tackles and fumbled the ball and we lost...I can name several others but I do not rank him even close to the top 10 qb's we have had...He had a monsterous arm and that was about it....Just my opinion and I know 99% of the people here rank him that higher because of that one Auburn game.

Got to believe the early season loss to TN deflated that team

Not really, they won 5 in a row after that and then lost to florida.
