What if....Rohan Davey never gets hurt and Tennessee wins?
- Chavis and UT were clearly prepared for Davey. The running QB and QB draw threw him waaay off.
- UT then is matched up against Miami in the NC. While I don't think Miami loses, it could be a much closer game than many would think at first glance. Let's look at the matchups:
1. UT had a much more balanced offense with Clausen, Stallworth, and Travis Stephens than Nebraska did. Miami struggled earlier that season with teams that had a balanced offense like BC.
2. Haynesworth/Henderson/Overstreet at DL teamed with Kevin Burnett at LB really can pose a huge dent in the Miami running game.
3. Jabari Greer and Andre Lott probably would've been the best secondary UM has faced all year.
Many could argue UT majorly underachieved in '01. I think given the motivation of the NC game, anything could've happened.
- Does this affect recruiting for UT and keep recruits coming in?
- How much does it hurt LSU to go 8-4 and go to a lower-tier bowl game. Does the 03 team have the confidence to beat UGA the next year?

What would a game in December of 01 against UT have to do with LSU's chances against UGA in September of 03?

What if Auburn didn't smoke cigars on our field in 1999 and stomp on our midfield logo before the game in 2001? Would LSU had not been motivated to win that game? Would Auburn had beaten Tennessee in Atlanta?

Tenn would win the 2001 NC
LSU would still win the 2003 NC
Saban still leaves for Dolphins
Saban still comes back to Bama and history is the same.
The better questions is what would have happened if Saban had not passed on Drew Brees (best thing he ever did for the state of Louisiana).

I've said it many times before but VOLS and Florida were the only 2 teams in the country that had the athletes to hang with Miami that year. Not saying they would beat them but they've would've easily given them much more of a game than Nebraska did.
Thinking about the 2001 VOLS still pisses me off to this day. Arguably the most talented team in our history and all we got out of it was a fricking Capitol One Bowl win.
