This is a tough one. Tennessee was big. I'm gonna say Arkansas, they were undefeated in the SEC, won 10 straight games and had already clinched the SEC Champ game. We had to play them in Arkansas and a BCS at Large was at stake. We had a shot at the Rose Bowl and CLM really wanted this game.
easy. peach bowl over miami. as well as flynn's signature game. the marriage of les and matt began here and should end in new orleans.
Why? Is it because all of Ty's players are gone, and now in year 3 when most coaches really show what they're worth, his guys won't be up to the challenge? I'm going with Arizona St. in year 1. And the other 10 that season is a close second. After everything that happened leading up to that game, that team had every excuse in the world to quit. Fold up the tents and call it a year (much like the Saints, and Tulane did). But He wouldn't have it. We went in to an opponents stadium to play a "home" game. And even in that game, we were beaten. Done. That team came back and won the game, and eventually the west. Edit: I really started to like him after the blow-out loss to Georgia. He never made excuses (nor did he allow other coaches/players), about having camp interrupted, or the other distracions, or the not having an off-week during the season, or JR getting hurt in the game. He just took it on the chin. We lost to a team that played a great football game. No excuses.
