Damn! And that's no slouch he's knockin' over like a rag doll. Isn't that Denzel Perryman? He knocked him 4 yards backwards and made him do a backwards summersalt.

1. Mike Mooney
2. Dan Voss aka Pig Vomit
3. One of the first plays from scrimmage against Clemson years ago in Bobby Dodd when Anthony Allen took a pitch to the house for like an 80 yard TD to start the game, OL leveling people and opened the hole for AA
4. LSU in peach bowl against CPJ and Nesbitt. We got steamrolled and half the stadium was making paper airplanes by the second quarter and throwing them on the field out of pure boredom because the game was such a blowout. Painful to watch, we still refer to that game as the paper airplane bowl game

1. The Refrigerator mover.
2. This one is almost impossible for me to answer. I'll change it to most overachieving and go with Sean Bedford.
3. See #1 above vs the fridge.
4. I'm obviously too focused on pain mutts have put on me but will go with mutts in 09....they opened huge holes rushing all night and we could not stop them at all.

I remember this hoss named Jon Carman. Biggest dude I ever saw in a GT uni.

Favorite would be Mason followed by the Mover
Most Underated might be a long ago forgotten lineman from the 60s named Bill Curry. Anyone remember him? All American Center played both ways in 1964
Favorite single OL play would be 2014 against UGA
UGA against us in 2009 or the aforementioned LSU beatdown

Shaq Mason

Fwiw, a lot of guys played both ways in the 60s. Don't judge.

 

[Dustman]

He guessed cut block and Shaq brought the heat!

 

[takethepoints]

1. A tie: Rufus Guthrie and John Davis
2. A tie: Glenn Costello (the best 205lb OT I ever saw) and Billy Shields
3. I say all those belly series dives in the 14 Orange Bowl (pick one; they were all great)
4. I got nothin'

 

[SteamWhistle]

Shaq
Ray Beno

NC State in 2010. RUSSELL HAD ALL DAY!

Well, if you are talking about going both ways it would be hard to beat All American center and linebacker Maxie Baughn from the late 50s. As I recall it seems that 1964 had the "limited substitution" rule that allowed teams to have designated defensive specialists come in for selected offensive players. In any case, Bill Curry was a fine two way player.

 

[GTonTop88]

Favorite: Mason
Underrated: Trey Braun?
Best Oline play: GT vs UGA, FSU, MSSt all was pretty much a clinic.

So was Rufus. That's why I picked him.

I almost picked either Billy Martin or Ted Davis. They were both TEs so I assumed they didn't qualify. Ted is one of my all time favorites. Some of you may remember that the year after the Chick Graning incident, Ted got thrown out of the Bama game for kicking a DL in the head while he was down. They showed the film on tv and I must have awakened the whole neighborhood cheering.

Lord, do I hate Alabama.

No Ted kicked an Auburn player in the head. After all the hell raised over Holt incident, Dodd had no choice but to kick him off team.

1. Tie. J Davis, Rufus., Billy Shaw
BEST GT lineman ever - pound for pound - Joe Vitunic

Best opponent? A guy from n.d., one from ugag, and the big guy from uva about 10 years ago.

 

[takethepoints]

You're right, it was Awbun. I cheered anyway. I admit it; I was a pretty bad sport in those days. Got kicked and cleated when I was down more then once myself.
