two votes on '95 i don't understand.. it isn't unusual for a team to find and exploit a mis-match which is exactly what happened in that situation. UT came back in that game after the half, and after Spurrier took to ground running the clock and controlling the tempo. it was classic 'fun-n-gun". Opening up the exploit allowed the D to falter on other threats as they were desperate to shut down the cross. '96 was the same, but Spurrier made the adjustment instead of UT, and man oh man did he... it was ugly.
last year is far and above the worst of the worst. it was the worst as the desparity between athletes/rosters, especially and specifically on the lines, was glaring. an exploit can be brushed off with adjustments and a loss can be mitigated by realizing 'you were simply had', which happens to everyone. last year? this wasn't the case. last year we saw instead exactly how far the program had to grow to compete again. the season was conceded after that game by most UT fans.
