The problem was '99 was his freshman year and by far his best. It was all downhill from there. He returned KO's all four years he played (although as I recall not many his senior year), which is why his career stats are up there, but he never took another one back after that one at Georgia as a freshman. And usually never looked like he might. He just wasn't one of those guys who could make people miss; he had to do it with speed alone running through an open lane. Obviously a world class sprinter who can make people miss would be the best of both worlds, but given the choice, I'll take the slightly slower guy who can make people miss over the sprinter. None of which is a reason not to give this new guy a shot--we should put him out there and see what he can do. My point was only that speed alone won't make him effective.

I pretty much agree with you on all points, except that I think that Leonard Scott was better than he gets credit for. Think it's because he did have track speed - everyone expected him to be a Devon Hester. But he was solid and noone remembers it because they hoped he'd return a lot more for scores. 77 returns for 1787 yds - both rank 2nd in UT history and reflect an average of over 23 yds/return.

That's not all-star material, but is respectable, imo.

I agree, he was decent player, that catch against ND in the corner of the endzone in 1999 was great.

I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy the game! I'll be watching the game at home on a 40" Sony Bravia HDTV. Lol. I'd love to go back to Neyland soon.

Minor correction here: James Banks had one that could talk.

According to ksush, Gaitlin's never spoke to her.
