Trivia for 4/9

[VolSwaff]

Tennessee has had 17 1000 yard rushing seasons. Of the backs that compiled those 17 seasons, which back has the shortest longest gain from scrimmage during a 1000 yard season? What was the gain on the carry?

Curt Watson ?

NM...Watson never had a 1000 yd rushing season...

I believe seaofORANGE22 has it right...

Hardesty's bio is wrong on UTSports..... shows Hardesty LP 27 yds gain vs Vandy in 2008 for 1,000.

Not Hardesty. He had a 60 or 70 yarder vs. Georgia

That blows my mind. He scored a ton of TDs that year. You'd think at least one of them would have been a long run.

I think the question was poorly phrased. There have been 17 seasons with a 1000 yard rusher, but there have been many more where Tennessee rushed for over 1000 yards.

Yeah and also considering that in 5 games in '89, he had several TDs of considerable yardage against UGA, Duke, and Auburn.

There was a reason that when Webb went down against Pacific in '90 that Majors said that we'd lost a back every bit as good as Dorsett and COBB.

If someone doesn't understand what the question is implying, they are probably on the wrong message board.

Easily understood...Very good question...Never did even consider looking at Cobb's stats...

I guess it was a 3 yards and a cloud of dust kind of a year.....make that 5.1 yards (Cobb's avg) and a cloud of dust. Another funny stat is Keith Davis and Big William Howard also had their longest gain against GT that year.
