If I had this in a trivia question, and I'm being honest, I'm not sure I'd have remembered Bernard Jackson.
Yeah I thought of putting Ritzmann or Hand, or young, but Bernard wasss the starter and not like any of those guys went on to do considerably more than him.

Either way, the other 3 are definitely memorable for me for what they contributed as a whole, to Vol football and the nfl.

seemingly dominant but

couldn't beat a backup QB from LSU and backup RB in Atlanta in '01 in SEC Championship Game.

sadness all around but really, great players.
To be fair, that’s not all on them.

They held the tigers to 3 yards per carry and the qb only completed a third of his passes. Our offense didn’t rush for shite, had multiple penalties, bad punts, and we coughed up the ball twice. Lsu didn’t have to go far for the scores they got. None of that is on the dline.

Ratliff and Walker was every bit as a force as H&H. Ellis and Terry as a combo very well could have been better than Overstreet and Jackson.

Loved both groups, but I liked this lineup more. I think they was more athletic as well. Been a long time though and memory is not near what it once was.

IMHO that game was fixed. Seemed like every time we ran a play in the second half the refs called a penalty.
