6: John Darnell




Rebel Rex show

Summary: Today's guest is John Darnell, the quarterback of the 1989 Rebs that went 8-4, closing out the season with a win over Air Force in the Liberty Bowl. You're probably wondering what made an eight win season stand out and remain special to many Rebel fans. The Rebs were coming off two losing seasons with a total of eight wins. This team was one that truly lived up to the saying "never give up." A number of the wins were last-minute comebacks. Then there was the game - Vanderbilt - where Chucky Mullins was injured. Through all the adversity, they stuck together. In today's show, John talks about how Coach Brewer kept the team together and helped them handle the injury to Chucky as well as the emotional moment of Chucky visiting the team in the locker room prior to the Liberty Bowl game.
