One of my all-time favorites! He was 5'9 and 185 lbs but played much larger. Will always remember that juke move against Mississippi State. I thought he was in the same mold as Reggie Cobb and Chuck Webb, only smaller. That dude could ball.
Always thought he was good enough to play at the next level.

I think LB speed killed that play.My memories of Tony... best play I enjoyed watching him execute was the tailback delay his release from the back field, then move out 4-5 yds beyond the line and takes the short pass... he always made great yardage with that play. I keep hoping to see it used again, but just don't see it. Of course, Tony had a special motor and could pull that play off.
Tennessee football at it's best. They trailed the entire game. But, they stuck with the game plan, and wore UVA down, late in the 4th. The Cavaliers could see the writing on the wall, alot earlier. The defense kept it close, and the o-line took over. Game. Set, and match.Tony Thompson going over the top to finish the comeback against UVA in the Sugar Bowl was about as good as it gets.
