Davis Tull didn’t belong in the Southern Conference.
Plenty of quality football players pass through that conference, and some even succeed in the NFL. But watching Tull, who starred for Tennessee-Chattanooga, play against that level of competition, it almost seemed unfair.
It became worse in nonconference games, when Tennessee-Chattanooga played the likes of Tennessee Tech. In those games, Tull, who was picked by the Saints in the fifth-round of the NFL draft, almost made a mockery of the proceedings.
Down after down, play after player, he was in the backfield, creating pressure or making life miserable for the quarterback.
