I was at that game. I don’t know if I’ve seen a collapse like that . We were a good football team that season too. I think it ended up 49-10.

They still show a clip of Richt’s eyes big as saucers waving Jones down the sideline .

I just watched the last minute of that half for the first time since that night. What a kick in the nuts.

I was at that game too. Surrounded by UGA fans. Brutal halftime and 2nd half.

That’s awful, that’s some bad luck. What was sweet though, was being in Athens next year and ruining their season with David Green and Pollack.

2001 SEC championship game is the beginning of the end. Several singular plays in that game come to mind, but Donte Stallworth’s fumble after catching a first down pass in my choice. So damn costly.

Fulmer Sucking up to Kelley Washington in 2002 added to the fall.

Fulmer had some occasional success between 2002-2007 - beating Miami, beating Florida back to back years, still beating GA and Bama a few times, winning the East a few times, but the overall body of work started to trend downwards in 2002. No excuse whatsoever for losing to Maryland and Clemson in back to back bowls. 2005 was awful being ranked top 5 to start the year. By 2008, it was well past time for Fulmer to step down. He was given about a 5 year ‘sabbatical’ to figure things out and he never did.

I grew up watching the Vols go from national relevance to whatever we were in the 2010s, supposedly I watched our NC but I have no memories from that. I've always pinpointed the beginning of the downfall as our loss to clempson in the Peach Bowl, not 2005 nor the UCLA nor Wyoming losses. In fact I've long maintained that they were only a powerhouse in the 4 team cfp era because we were not. Anyway, I remember my parents complaining about how uncharacteristically undisciplined we looked against the acc featherweights. And I remember nothing going our way, including one play that has haunted me... Clausen throwing a pick off a linemans heel while trying to spike the ball. But I've skimmed through Larry Smith's upload of the game and didn't see it. In fact I've checked several games from that early 2000s era from Larry Smith and Freak's yt channels as well as play by play recaps and I can't find it. I don't think this is a false memory since I've spoken with others about it, but it still eludes me. Hoping one of you absolute maniacs can help me track this play down.

Edit: it's worth noting that I was very young when this play happened so I'm absolutely an unreliable narrator here, very well could've been a different game or season or it could've even been a play for the other team that had a "positive" result for them. Please help me find this so I can put my mind at ease.

Was it Rick Clausen at Notre Dame? Intercepted by Mike Goolsby. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, maybe it was Rick Clausen & not Casey.

Oh wow, that one also looks incredibly close. Like I had to go find another source that wasn't a recording of a screen to double check close. In my mind the spike wasn't a save the clock spike but rather a save the sack spike, just like this throw here. It's not quite what how I remember it, but mix it with the fumble mentioned earlier and we're getting really close to what my brain remembers.

Sorry for the bad memories for everyone in here

I went to bed last night and it dawned on me that the clip I shared was in 2004. I wondered why it looked like it was filmed in 1966, 😂.

Try the Casey Clausen interception by Trev Faulk LSU 2001 title game.

Or try the int thrown by C Clausen to UF LB Mike Nattiel.

Clausen didn’t throw an interception in the SEC title game against LSU.

A major turning point for Phil was Mark Richt entering the conference (and division) in 2001. He never got UGA the national championship they thought he should have, but he was a great coach and huge upgrade over Goff/Donnan. To a lesser degree, Saban showing up at LSU in 2000 hurt as well. A pretty big part of Phil's success in the mid/late 90s is because the only consistently good SEC teams were us and UF. And UF consistently got the better of us.

By the time Urban showed up at UF in 2005, all bets were off.
