Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 691975, member: 716"] I'm a little too young to remember what went wrong, but there were some good pieces on both of those teams. Was line play a problem? We intercepted only 17 passes in those two years - 9 in '93 and 8 in '94 - so maybe we weren't getting a pass rush. On the other side, I don't know. Tuten was well-regarded, but maybe he didn't have great players alongside him. With Hill, Dar Dar, Richardson, Harrison, and Wooten, it looks like Marvin Graves had some options. Mason lost Hill (and Wilson and Maddox were not yet able to pick up the slack) but was lucky to have Malcolm Thomas step up to complement Dar Dar. Also, oddly enough, Young Hemsley [URL='http://www.suathletics.com/sports/2011/6/17/FB93Stats.aspx?id=7627']led the team[/URL] in tackles in '93. Not a lot of upperclass names on that list. Kevin Mitchell, Wilky Bazile, and a whole bunch of guys who either weren't standouts or wouldn't be big performers for two or three more years. [/QUOTE]
