Is this the Bill Battle fake punt game?

No, that was the '73 Georgia game. See Mattingly: 1973 was a season of living dangerously » GoVolsXtra.

What year did Curt Watson rush for 197 yards?

 

[Volosaurus rex]

That was 1969. I did not remember this factoid, however: "This was the year Dickey went to the veer offense. “We put in a mixture of the dropback pass with the Houston veer, Dickey said. “We got ahead of the learning curve on the defenses by doing that. They couldn’t blitz us because if they did we’d run the veer and Curt Watson would go sailing through there. We got a lot done offensively with that team."

Against the Bulldogs, "Crossville’s Curt Watson earned a school-record 197 yards and Jackson’s Don McLeary added 100 behind the blocking of Franklin’s Steve Robinson, Pulaski’s Don Denbo, Donelson’s Mike Bevans, Decatur, Georgia’s Chip Kell and Clarksville’s Joe Balthrop. The game ended 17-3" (TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA, 38 YEARS AGO TODAY | The Vol Historian | GoVolsXtra.com).

Funny how it looks like we're using 11 wide receivers on the offensive side of the ball...

Man, times have changed..

That block at the 6:25 mark was just nasty...

That game was all power football. Don't see that much anymore.

Chip Kell was damn strong. I got his autograph when I was in about middle school.
