Do you know TE personally? I don't think TE lacked the drive to be great. I don't know him personally, but the dude should have been a QB or played something on the offensive side of the ball at the college level. I believe at Sul Ross they had him on defense
I think what the missing component on the college career of TE was what the college coaches thought TE's best place to contribute to the team was. We can all talk at length about TE's abilities, but the coaches have the practical issue of turning those abilities into winning games. In this golden era of the transfer portal TE could have transferred until he found the right college team fit but life like football is a strange journey at best.
I know know him yes. He mentioned to me that there was a time when he was burned out with football. I don't know if that was right after HS or after Sul Ross. I agree that he would and could've been a great dual threat QB. Sul Ross was dumb if they didn't give him a shot at it.
Minus that 1 loss to Throck
In 1 division . They wasn’t split back then
Oh Gordon is definitely a guarantee last year possibly even 45. Abbott I think would have beat them but would have been close . You can’t compare d1 and d2 because a lot of top 10 teams in d 1 can beat the d2 champs . Not always .
Imagine critiquing a senior in high school constantly (2025) that no longer plays 6man football and is still undefeated and the best player on his team. Yet you bring up a player that last played in fall 2007...
