I think that class was before schollie limits right?
Making it tough to match
Yes Juan, there were no scholly limits then, but there are 2 ways to compare the 1967 bunch and the 2015 class if it does turn out to be a stellar class.
1. If the 2015 class sweeps the field with the commitments and the uncommitted leans that are highly rated like we all hope, then a comparison to the overall talent gathered could be measured / compared to the 1967 bunch. It could then be reasonably concluded that 2015 met, surpassed or not the 1967 class.
2. Another comparison could be made with on the field results from the 2 classes.
The 1967 bunch could not play as freshmen - the frosh had their own team, so the W-L record for that group was over 3 years. The '67 group record was (I believe): 30-2-1 (1968: 9-1-1, 1969: 11-0, 1970: 10-1) . This included the 30 game winning streak - the longest in UT history.
To be a fair comparison, the 2015 class would have to be measured for 3 years, Soph. - Senior years. On the other hand , one could argue it would not be fair to take away their freshman year results to make the comparison.
I really care little about comparing this class to other classes to prove anything. All I really care about is UT finishing the best we can with this 2015 class, putting a stick in aggy eyes and perhaps getting as high as the #2 class in all the land.
