A little more than 30 years ago.  And while I loved each and every one of those wins, saw them all, only really Tenn was at their best.  A couple you missed were the way we played Miami, Auburn in the Sugar, Colorado in the Fiesta , and LSU in the Hall of Fame bowl.  But one thing about those years, those Syracuse  teams played a lot of weak teams as well.  And we didn't get worn down by a  lack of depth that seems to happen to us each year.  Another thing that seemed to help us was that many teams in those days, didn't take option qbs. We did.  We got Donnie Mcpherson, McNabb, Graves, when other teams weren't as interested.  That changed.  We couldn't get those guys in todays football.  While we had some terrific players back then, we were never deep like those teams or as solid all over the field as those teams. We have had P., Robinson, Marrone, Shafer and Dino since then.  How many of those players kids chose Syracuse?  Almost none.  By the way, B.C. once beat Alabama and had some great wins just like we did.  Where are they now?  Neither of us ever recruited with the top teams.  Didn't mean we couldn't win with under recruited kids.  We could do that now if we got very lucky.  OG wasn't recruited by any school in Florida.
