[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 931881, member: 4015"] "Fireball Frankie" as he was known was the real deal. A true triple threat tailback in the old single wing. Dodd said he was the best UGA player he ever coached against and that included Rauch (spelling?) and Charlie Trippi. He remains one of just three Dwags to have their jerseys retired the others being Herschel and Loran Sapp the "Drought Breaker". Upon further review, Charlie Trippi was probably just as good. He was SEC player of the year and was All American along with John Rauch. Somehow, he finished second in the Heisman balloting despite winning the Maxwell Award for college football's best player. After he and Rauch graduated it was pretty much down hill for Wally Butts until the late 1950s. He endured a long string of 8 consecutive losses to Tech among other indignities including being accused of throwing a game against Alabama by Furman Bisher that ignited a firestorm of sorts.
