[QUOTE="Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau, post: 36591, member: 1017"] I will say comparing eras is not possible. But for those that missed Dodd, I would suggest a major difference was his lean year still were good football teams. For example, 1960 5-5 four losses to Auburn, Florida, Alabama and Georgia were by a TOTAL of 5 points, and we lost to Duke 6-0. The next year, 1961, he went 7-3 in the regular season--the losses being at Knoxville, at Baton Rouge and at Birmingham against Alabama in the middle of their huge winning streak. He lost to Penn State in the Gator Bowl.. Even Dodd's "BAD" teams played great football most Saturdays, and if you didn't watch out, he'd beat you. It is definitely a different world now. [/QUOTE]
