On the other hand...LSU and TT forming their own conference with their own rules? They could add the very best state prison all star teams and the Arena teams to their schedules. They could play in the Spring. It might fill a niche.

Another surprise for me? Cole Hutson nowhere on the depth chart. I would have thought RG #2... .

Randle won 3-0. LWC carried over 30 times, averaged less than 5 YPC.

52-6 Texas

Re: best twosome, I had to look this up. For 2005: Crowder: 20 QB pressures, while recording 50 tackles, nine TFLs, three sacks, an interception and, a forced fumble. B-Rob: 58 tackles, 35 solo, and led the team in quarterback sacks with seven. He also had 15 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Robison was credited with 10 quarterback pressures, four pass deflections, and three forced fumbles. He also blocked one kick and recovered two fumbles.

I think definitely. YMMV.

Robison and Crowder were the best pair of DEs who played on the same team at the same time.

Do many guys still end up in Canada? The wider field would be good for Blue, I think.

You included Spence on the chart more than once which I understand completely. But doesn't the same logic place Cojoe second at both offensive tackle slots? Surely he would play ahead of Newman, correct?

Is McDermott on scholarship?

I listened to that game on the radio in my off campus room a few blocks from Rice Stadium. After what UT had done to Rice - my first ever trip to Austin was to see that game - I actually thought Texas was the best team that could possibly exist. So I was shocked by Kern Tips exploding with the Gibbs to Iles TD. Before Raymond Clayborn, Eric Metcalf, Nathan Vasher, or Ryan Niblett I would have said Saxton was the most exciting return man I had seen in burnt orange.

How are Taaffe and DJ Campbell doing?

When Earl and Shearer were juniors on the team Clayborn was the team's MVP! He was electrifying as a returner and for me is one of the five greatest DBs in UT history. He was so fast and so fluid. And strong enough to take turns at RB on a team that included Campbell and Leaks. I think he averaged near 7 yards per carry on offense.

Jeff, you are too young to have seen the amazing Raymond Clayborn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Clayborn In 1976, on a team that included juniors Earl Campbell and Brad Shearer, he was the team's MVP and a unanimous All American. Although he thrilled us with his TD KO and punt returns at Texas the only film of him I can find is from his rookie year in the NFL when he returned one over a hundred yards on national TV - his third KO return TD of the year. He and his teammate Lam Jones ran on the 440 relay together and he was an All American as a track star on the 1600M relay. I will add this: watching Jonah Williams play baseball as a freshman his fluidity reminded me immediately of Clayborn, which for me was high praise. Jonah is bigger than Raymond was, but he moved with that same gliding grace, as if his feet weren't actually touching the ground. That perception has had me wanting to see Jonah play DB and return man ever since.

Good news.
