Archer lost team before 1989 season after loss to Syracuse in bowl game. Also, recruiting was an issue. Look at instate talent that went out of state at that time.
The cracking started before even then. The Miami loss of 44-3 in 88' season in a rainstorm showed we could not compete with the elite. Our offense got beaten up by a 7-5 Florida team in a 6-19 loss(granted their D did end up 12th in Nation) in a game we should have won by a TD at least if we played to our abilities.
SEC was down that year and we took advantage. The Seniors on that team, guys like Ron Sancho and company along with Hodson carries us to a share of SEC. Senior leadership showed through in close games vs Auburn and Bama that year. However, the young Tiger pups did not offer enough depth since the drop off in talent from Arnie's guys and Archer's recruits were so noticeable.
