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.
