65 years ago today, one of the greatest games in Vol History

[Savannahbayvol]

November 7, 1959, undefeated, #1 ranked, defending National Champions LSU with Heisman winner Billy Cannon comes to town. Vols win 14-13 in one of the epic upsets in Vol History.

Cannon stopped on 2 point conversion by Wayne Grubb, Bill Majors and Charley Severance. He absolutely did not make it. How do I know, I was sitting on about the 40th row in Section A with one of the best seats in the House. What a day for a 12 year old Vol fan.

I was also at that game. Wasn’t Gene Etter and Bill Majors the tailbacks in that game? Jim Cartwright play an outstanding defensive game that day.
