OTHER NOTES
1997

  • Marshall won the MAC Championship in their first season in Division 1-A, thanks to Randy Moss and Chad Pennington
  • Charles Woodson became the only primarily defensive player to win the Heisman
1999
  • Added "Kansas State" rule to give any BCS top 4 team an automatic bid
  • Penalties behind the line of scrimmage were now assessed from the spot of the foul, intentional grounding became a pure spot foul, and 12 man huddles were banned
  • Eight WAC schools broke away to form the Mountain West
  • Freshman Michael Vick revolutionized the quarterback position, and got Virginia Tech to the national title game
  • Marshall followed Tulane in being an undefeated non-BCS conference champ left out
  • Florida State became the first wire to wire national champion

1997 - Manning's Folly
1998 Orange Bowl - Overshadowed in the offense’s effort was a defense that held UT quarterback Peyton Manning to a season-low 134 yards in the air.

Tee Martin did march down the field for a late TD in garbage time.   Tenn had some really nice rosters of talent those late 90s squads.

Manning held Fulmer hostage with his talent, forcing a run-first, lean on the defense roster to be pass-happy.  The moment he left campus, the roster could do what it was built to do...and did.

Without Wuerffel and 2 first-round WRs, Florida beat Manning.  He threw for a lot of yards, but had 2 INTs (including a pick-6) and they couldn't run the ball.
2nd half rushing: 
Vols:  -1
Fred Taylor:  131

He played, but their leading rusher was Mark Levine, with 4 carries and 23 yards.  Doesn't matter much when you get down 14-0 in the first and 26-7 early in the 2nd half.  Their OL was so overmatched.

I love Wisconsin Rose Bowl wins, but 1997 takes it here, by a mile.
