Having been present at both games, I think Harry may be right about the Rose
Bowl, but I beg to differ on the Citrus Bowl. I don't think we could have
beaten Payton Manning that day if we were permitted to play 13 men on defense!
He was too good, and Tennessee had too much speed and athleticism for us,
even if we did make a great comeback. The vision of Manning hitting Peerless
Price on that slant pass and Price taking it all the way down the field,
passing our defenders like they were sign posts, and going to "the house" just
before Halftime will always haunt me, as it was the pivot on which the game
turned against us for good. Would Ismaeli have made the difference there? Not
in my humble opinion.
