Largent was the man!I think he was 0-2 in college when getting the majority of the snaps, but that was a wild year from everything I've read. Started out behind Condredge (73,74), then was hurt when CH left (75,76), and got a good amount of play in Majors' first year in 1977. Drafted 8 rounds behind our punter that year, the great Craig Colquitt who fathered a punting dynasty.
Crazier, he only got to start one year in high school. He was the backup to Tony Brantley who ended up as the punter at Notre Dame. Brantley probably looked a lot better than he was in high school because his main target was a guy named Steve Largent, who graduated the year before Ryan took over.
The Cardinals in general got no love from the media. Their defense was stellar and the talking heads talked more about the lack of production by Dax and Company. Kind of made me sick actually.Watched the Post TV NFL shows and kind of surprised at the lack of love thrown towards Dobbs. Yes, they said he did good but he, Dobbs slayed the Dragon! Talk about Sampson vs Goliath! And if the Cardinals had a defense, they would probably be 3-0. Whodathunkit??
Only the third Vols QB (not counting Peterman since he's a Panther) to record a win in the NFL in like 40 or 50 years. First since Peyton.
