And even then, we had some growing pains that season. Against Houston and Georgia Tech, Lee and Dixon had like 3 or 4 fumbles on the read option, and it directly cost us the Houston game and a subsequent bowl birth. Also Lee not pitching to Dixon for the TD against LSU. Guys not recruited for the system.
