Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 858699, member: 874"] And the good special teams goes back earlier than that. Qadry Ismail returning a kickoff for a TD against FSU in '91 came just a few weeks after Kirby Dar Dar ran a reverse all the way back on a kickoff in the game where we beat 5th ranked Florida (the game that caused Spurrier to never play an OOC game in the north ever again). Then, right around Tyree's time, there was JR Johnson who was the original beast gunner. Too many people forget about him because he never did anything after his time at the 'Cuse. He was a 225 lb 4.3 40 monster that could not be blocked on kickoffs and punts. He was never able to get the mental part of the defense down, so he wasn't able to make an impact there. And we can't forget how good Kevin Johnson was as a returner or Keith Bullock was in kick coverage. [/QUOTE]
