He had a huge game against Iowa State in what might have been his debut - or the second game he started. I think most people projected him to be an All-MAC performer based on that one game. That turned out to be a career game for him. He took his highly developed brain and put it to better use in the medical profession. I don't think he even attempted to play his senior year.

Clint got a degree in bio-engineering at UT. Got his medical degree at UT, did a residency at Michigan and now is a pediatrician in Ann Arbor.

Am I mistaken but didn't Cochran get hurt? I think that had more to do with his discontinued production and that he made no illusions his goal was medical, not football. He wasn't going to risk that brain. I think UT did well in their support of his goals.

Aaron Opelt, I remember some of his downfield blocks. Kid was a gamer.

Cochran took a huge hit in the final OT at Iowa State. Don’t recall if there was a flag but I seem to recall that it was on the late side.
