Tailbacks in single wing: Hank Lauricelli and Herky Paine. Bob Reichachar (sp) was wing back. Tommy Bronson at fullback. Doug Atkins at end. Don't remember if they all played at the same time but they all had to play offense and defense. The tailback would usually play safety, wing back would play "defensive back" and fullback would play linebacker.

Was gonna answer "we had on QB in the early fifties ran single wing". Johnny was the first I remember but started listening around 1950.

I believe Lindsay Nelson was the radio broadcaster during the Lauricelli days in early 50's. Listened to him on the Chattanooga local station. No TV.

Mallon Faircloth, a single wing tailback. Team finished 6-2-2. Par for the in those days. Lots of people saying in was time to give up single wing.

My first game I watched (on TV, which was a very big deal back then) was the 1980 Bama game. The VOLS looked like crap, but they were my team from then on. I was 8.

--edit-- It was the ABC Game of the Week and I remember getting tired of Keith Jackson fluffing the Tide.

I was at that game, I think. Did it rain like hell? Got killed on the field, badly.

Derek Dooley was your first Tennessee coach? On behalf of the entire Vol nation, I apologize. No one should have to start their Vol fan life that way.

I think it did, and that caused our kicker to miss our FG attempt. I remember just deflating after that. Tough loss. I remember we were outclassed. 2 years later I finally got to feel a win against Bama listening to John Ward on the radio.
