If you recall the SECCG against Ark that year, I believe that was where the blue print for beating us was designed. I remember sitting there and thinking that a team with real talent all-out blitzing DW and hitting him every play would be a nightmare. He left that game beaten to a pulp, and Nebraska had their game plan.
I won’t diminish that ‘95 team. It was a definite top 5 with a real argument for the best. But I agree that Spurrier’s stubbornness was a huge factor and Zook has an entire career resume that says he’s simply not cut out to be a DC or implement a defensive game plan. As great as they were, we had no business losing like that.
I recall the lswho DC was bragging he gave nu a clinic on his blitzing schemes because lswho , while losing at home, still gave UF some problems - might’ve been UF’s lowest offensive output that year. SOS beat the living crap outta lswho the following year in the Swamp. After the game, the HBC said, “I guess lsu won’t be giving any defensive coaching clinics this year.” Gotta love the HBC!
