Two plays from the Neyland era deserve special consideration: Hank Lauricella's 75-yard run against Texas in the 1951 Cotton Bowl and Johnny Butler's 56-yard touchdown run in the 1939 Alabama game, which Tennessee won 21-0. Lindsey Nelson described the latter run as "probably the most exciting run I ever saw." (See the 27:00 mark of 100 Years of Volunteers 1 - YouTube.) Butler's run was frequently used in movies for years thereafter, whenever a film clip of an exciting football play was desired. For the Lauricella run, fast-forward to the 41:30 mark of 100 Years of Volunteers 1 - YouTube.
1996 Bama Game. Graham puts it away. After Alabama had tied the score and got momentum. Then came Graham's big run.

I like the Mose Phillips screen play against U.S.C. during Johnny Majors last season. We ended in a tied game. Phillips ran around the defense and had 14 missed tackles. Yes, some of the U.S.C. defenders miss tackled him twice on that play.
Also, a little off subject, but have y'all noticed that we lost to Arkansas & Missouri during their inaugural seasons in the S.E.C. and we tied U.S.C. in their inaugural season??? You would have thought that we would have won all three of those games.
