No. But nobody proved they could stop the Wave, and were it not for the biased BCS, we should have played for a mythical national champions.

They need not embellish how good they were. They WERE that good.

Tulane would have given Tennessee issues, the first actually playing defense on the whole field, not just inside the hash marks...Tenneessee did not have enuff D backs to play against Tulane's spread O...their LB's, while very good would have never been able to play a complete 60 minutes covering all aspects of the field...when U ask most people how long is a football field, they tell you 100 yards...that is WRONG, the field is actually 120 yards long and RR made you play D on all of it

I remember hearing a radio interview here in the NYC market by one of our O-lineman (Bernard Robertson, perhaps) during the 1998 season about how the offense was eating up opposing D. The Tulane player said that (paraphrasing I'm sure) "We knew we had the other team when, typically in the second half, they were holding their hips and sucking wind because we were too quick for them. Against Rutgers that happened late in the first quarter."

Again, I don't know if we would have beaten Tennessee in 1998, but we would have given the world of college football a much better show, win or lose, than the boring Tennessee vs FSU game that gave the Vols the MNC.

Although I thoroughly enjoy the coverage, I thought this episode was a bit long on Ken and Graf and a lot short on actual game highlights.

That's a bummer not only for the fans, but for the players that are making the trip back as well.

Yes. And of course Shaun King can’t make it. USF playing.
