After watching them on BTN they were a bunch of bad ass dudes at every position, and after looking at 2018 team I think only one player could possibly start for the 97 team J.D. Spielman.

Times change, unfortunately.After watching them on BTN they were a bunch of bad ass dudes at every position, and after looking at 2018 team I think only one player could possibly start for the 97 team J.D. Spielman.
You think he could beat out Matt Davison??After watching them on BTN they were a bunch of bad ass dudes at every position, and after looking at 2018 team I think only one player could possibly start for the 97 team J.D. Spielman.
YesYou think he could beat out Matt Davison??
There's only one D in his name.;-)Davidson had 6 TD’s in 4 years. If it wasn’t for the one catch nobody would know his name
Fact remains, he MADE that catch.Davidson had 6 TD’s in 4 years. If it wasn’t for the one catch nobody would know his name
In addition to what others have said, keep in mind the following stats from the years Davison was on the team:Davidson had 6 TD’s in 4 years. If it wasn’t for the one catch nobody would know his name
I think you are on to something about luck, calls, breaks...whatever you want to call it. There is a will present on the side of dominant programs as doubt to enters the mind of the other side.Just the mentality on those guys was far ahead of where we are today. Granted those guys were coming off from championship years, had an amazing and proven coaching staff to guide them. What sticks out in my mind more than anything is how luck follows the best teams. Teams like Bama, OSU, Georgia have the ball and calls go their way because they have a refuse to lose mentality. Just like we had it during the 90s.
I would hope mo Barry would be in the two deep roster back then but I concur JD for sure. I don't think Davison was a starter but was on the 2 deepAfter watching them on BTN they were a bunch of bad ass dudes at every position, and after looking at 2018 team I think only one player could possibly start for the 97 team J.D.

We need to realize that quite a few of the guys on our 2 deep now WOULD have been on the 2 deep back then IF they had been developed by Tom and his staff for a couple of years. There's talent on this team but in quite a few cases IMO we've only scratched the surface on what some of these guys could be. Frost was not lying when he stated last spring that we had more talent than a 4-8 team. It just has to be developed and integrated in to a completely new offensive and defensive system.I would hope mo Barry would be in the two deep roster back then but I concur JD for sure.

Yeah the fond memories of those gritty, gutty overachievers aren't necessarily inaccurate. They just happened to be surrounded by a bunch of NFL talent.But wait... The Grand Illusion that NU was just walk ons wasn't true in their championship years?
And for them to be motivated, I still say that's one of the biggest issue is some can't motivate themselvesWe need to realize that quite a few of the guys on our 2 deep now WOULD have been on the 2 deep back then IF they had been developed by Tom and his staff for a couple of years.
