[QUOTE="00Burdell, post: 82320, member: 5"] Lavette was really something to watch. Never seen anything quite like him - he'd run into a clogged up middle - 4 DL/LB would have a solid shot at him and not a one of them could knock him off balance - he wasn't big or all that fast - you just could not tackle the guy. Curry said about him that his upper body was on a swivel. As a freshman in the first game of the 1981 season, Tech travelled to Alabama to play the then #1 ranked Tide. Curry started Lavette who ran up and down the field including a come-from behind 4th qtr TD run where I think about half of Alabama's defense had a shot at him. That remarkable run gave us the lead and the first win over Bama in 20 years. Tech would not win another game that year and Bama would not lose another game that year. Lavette is still holds the career rushing record at Tech at just over 4,000 yards. Too bad there isn't much on youtube - I have that Bama TD run on VHS - still can't figure out how he scored. I did find this on youTube: [MEDIA=youtube]0kAQ35yWOoo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
