Usually when you watch games from that era few of the players look like they would contribute today. Not so for that team.
Our defense that year was ridiculous. Cooks to me is still our best ever. Several others would play on SEC teams today.
On offense I'd forgotten how big McDole was and that we used him in the backfield. Dude could fly too.
It's a good watch because so many of this generation focus on stats and such. They need to look at the game then and see the guys that played. Understand the rules. Back then it was a 30 second clock and you could milk the clock easier. Cut blocks. DB's could mug you in pass coverage. Totally different game in the 80's
