Sorry, i have 3 kids under 4 years old and i don't sleep much.

Apparently my memory is fading as well.

I remember Burris and ? Was it Greg Lane who was a corner on that team? Was thinking Taylor was the Safety.

Apologies.


No problem...

Greg Lane and Tom Carter formed a significant duo in the early 90’s.

A lot of guys overlapped given their eligibility but notable duos off the top of my head from that era:

Lyght/Smagala
Carter/Lane
Taylor/Wooden
Walton/Duff

Guys like John Covington and Willie Clark were mixed into the Holtz era at CB as well. I’m probably forgetting a couple guys.


Covington was s safety. *

In '93 yes but played mostly corner in his career. *

Ivory played exclusively corner and i believe will always be remembered as the tiny corner who stuffed army's tight end at the goal line to avoid a potentially embarrassing loss
