Anyone remember Jeff "Toolshed" Tullis who was an undersized DE that was forced to move to DT in the early '90's because of injuries and because of his toughness did a credible job..........We desperately need someone to play that role this year.

If Dale Jones were on this team do you think he would start and or flourish? what about keith delong, who once had 22 tackles in a game for us i think it was

Wow! Keith Delong was an animal. Didn't he wear one of the first oversized helmets due to repeated concussions?

Delong could play and start now. Dale was undersized and played OLB in a 3-4 defense. I doubt he could handle the big tackles and TE that now play.

Wasn't he #46? Coach Brooks could really coach those DT's! Tullis was crazy and fun to watch! GBO!!! He played with Chuck Smith....

Late 70s/early 80s Jim Noonan and Danny "Pert" Jenkins were undersized DTs but they went all-out and played bigger than they were.

He's alive in St Louis, happily married. I bought his dad's house several years ago. Not a very good high school football player, but an excellent wrestler.

WHat about Bill Duff, who had that great 4 and goal stop of Eddie George in the Citrus Bowl. I bet he wasn't a big time recruit, and he did pretty well as DT?

COLLEGE FOOTBALL - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - A Big Ten-Style Offense Wins Day for Tennessee - NYTimes.com

The Buckeyes came right at the Vols, running George five consecutive plays to reach the Tennessee 2-yard line. It was fourth down, and a gain of less than a yard would give the Buckeyes a first down. From tackle to tackle, the Ohio State offensive line averages 295 pounds. At tailback is the player who gained 1,826 yards. There was little question about what was coming.

"We had no doubt they were going to run Eddie," said Tennessee defensive end Leonard Little.

They tried. On the snap, linebacker Jesse Sanders filled the hole and took on the lead blocker, fullback Nicky Sualua. That slowed George just enough to allow Tennessee defensive tackle Bill Duff to burrow under the offensive line charge. He was joined by Billy Beron. The linebackers, Tyrone Hines and Scott Galyon, were flying to the ball. George went down. No gain.
