Absolutely....Ratliff was having a great game that day overall. Nutt should have had Stoerner just plowing ahead on the snap in order to waste some time. Vols had just one time out left.

Like I said Tennessee had nothing to apologize for that season.

I remember being in the Dome for that Syracuse Tenn game, was one of the best I saw as a teenager before moving to SEC country. Tenn offensive line was just blowing SU off the line by the 4th. The pi call was tough and depending on your color orange it was right or wrong. The 2 calls against SU for equipment violations, pants not covering knees, opened my eyes to SEC officials before I moved south. Had never seen that call before or after that day.

Ratliff knocked Burlsworth backwards so Stoener could trip over his ankle.

Ratliff only had one tackle in that game. Burlsworth was basically running him over every play until the very end. Billy Ratliff was a great player for us. He recovered fumbles in 3 consecutive games that year.
