Tater Tot & Gus both had storybook seasons in their 1st years.

Yes and in 1993 Tot had Pat Dye's recruits with two stud RBs (Bostic and Davis) and a senior QB Stan White and Sanders at WR to work with. We also almost lost to Ole Ms and Vandy. Many of us remember when we were stuck with Demontray Carter as RB. The best Tot could recruit. His recruiting took a nose dive cause he could not compete with his diddy and the old ball coach. He ran us into the ground. And left in the middle of the season leaving Brother Oliver as interim HC.

Gus had a new approach that took others like Jeremy Pruitt a while to figure out and then Gus got lazy to change and adjust.
