His final year there were plans to use Ted on offense for some plays. They thought it might enhance his chances to win the Heisman. They put in some plays, maybe for goal line offense. I don't think they ever used him on offense that year. (As we know now, the proper use of a WR on goal line...

Some say we were the best team in the country that year. I first started seeing UM again in about '80. I think my first game in almost a decade was the 1980 UM-UFgame. I remember how shocked the announcers were that we went for that FG. That might have been the first time I had seen a Miami...

Tony Cline died last year. Found a few stories on Tony. https://www.thenewsdispatch.com/news/article_58899b0a-685e-55dc-b8c9-1fe14862afdc.html Here's one on his son, Tony Jr. who went to Stanford then signed with the Bills...

I remember how Tate used to talk about Tony Cline. He had an incredible rookie year sack number for the Raiders. Unfortunately it was unofficial since they didn't officially record sack records at the time. Do you remember which side **** Sorensen played on? I think he was on Hendrick's side...

I'm somewhat skeptical. We had guys who were light, like Fred Robinson, who was under 250, but seemed to have the frame to be much larger. We had a lot of other guys who seems like they would have been much bigger if they had been doing steroids. Maybe they didn't do them the way guys were...

Some of our former coaches and trainers ended up at Louisville a few years after leaving with Howard. One commented on how much bigger at least one of our OLs was then a year or two before that coach or trainer left Miami for Louisville. Said it was unnatural for that guy to get so much larger...

Might even be undersized now. Listen to the recent podcast by McKinnie and Romberg. They describe our current OL as huge compared to our 2001 OL. Without comparing them, the 1983 Nebraska line was probably smaller than our current OL and many college OLs today. Kevin ***an said when he lined...

Olivadotti's defense was not up-the-field attacking. It sat their and read.

Back in the '60's, especially early '60's, it was unususual to have linemen, including interior linemen, at 200 or under. In 1963, we had a center, Bob Hart, who was 195. He also played some LB. He sometimes was replaced by Bob Dentel, who was a big guy--220. Back then I'd look at the game...

You failed to mention that great coach, Harold Allen, a UM player from Key West and longtime DL coach. He coached a lot of great defensive linemen at the U. I suspect the biggest of that bunch was Chick at about 250. I read that he survived a bad pelvis or hip injury in a car accident then came...
