I wouldn’t put Gary Hollingsworth in this category to be honest. In ‘90, he had a new OC (Coach Moore) and a new HC (Coach Stallings) that had a totally different philosophy about offensive football. Add to that, we lost 3 experienced/starters at skill positions in 3 consecutive weeks. Season opener against Brett Favre and USM, we lost Siran Stacy/‘89 SEC player of the year to a torn ACL. Led 24-20, lost 27-24.
Week 2 lost WR Prince Wimbley to a torn ACL. Led 16-10, lost 17-16. Week 3 lost WR Craig Sanderson to a torn ACL. Led 13-10, lost 17-13. We replaced all of that experience and production with redshirt freshmen.

I am aware of the difficulties we faced on offense that season but I'm basing my categorization solely on production and Hollingsworth's 1990 season was anything but productive. He completed less than 50% of his passes and had a TD-INT ratio of 4-13. The only reason I did not rate him as "BAD" is due to the fact the offense had all of those injuries and also due to his 1989 season (where he still had a TD-INT ratio of 14-16 but became our first ever 2,000+ yard passer).
