All-Time Canes Teams Tournament Round1 (A)

team A v. team B

Team B could run a nice 3-4 D with that personnel. Moss, OVernon big standup blitzing LBs...big plug Vince at nose and Tez disrupting on the strongside. Your secondary will get torched though...especially with Highsmith and Bratton's versatility catching balls out the backfield.

A is the team...cmon now with Beau Sandman and Isadora. Too many guys that youre praying will produce in the future.

Here's hoping Mr. Sandman (sic) brings us our dreams.

It hurts to go against Devin, but you walk onto a field with Bratton, Highsmith, and Brown and you are pretty set as a favorite.

Alonzo averaged 4.8 yds/carry at UM, and Melvin Bratton averaged 4.4. Both OK, neither stellar. Frank Gore averaged 5.7.

LOL. Is that the only stat of relevance?

Highsmith:

387 car 1873 yds 18 TD 4.8 avg
92 rec 977 yds 7 TD 10.6 avg

Bratton:

319 car 1417 yds 26 TD 4.4 avg
86 rec 1084 yds 6 TD 12.6 avg

Gore:

348 car 1975 yds 17 TD 5.7 avg
23 rec 225 yds 0 TD 9.8 avg

And Bratton & Highsmith had to share the backfield for a majority of their college careers.

No, I guess Highsmith was a good blocker, also. I rooted for the Canes during that time, and I always felt that our passing game and defense were outstanding, but our running game was only adequate. I am not merely coming up with talking points for this conversation. Those were my impressions at the time.
