2004 was a great win. Defensively dominated David Greene all game. 2006 was the Lamarcus Coker game where he went off and the game was over by half time. 2009 was the Crompton roll-out game, which was a fun one to watch.
This week will cannot pass quickly enough. Thought it might be fun the relive our favorite memories through the years against UGA.
What are the big hits, spectacular plays, lucky moments that are your favorites?
I'll start with the easiest...the catch.
I was in bumper to bumper traffic outside Atlanta. People were honking and cheering up until Jennings took their sole. Only one person was cheering in traffic afterward.
An acquaintance was texting me jabs. She could only muster "unbelievable" before blocking my number permanently.
I remember a perfect weather day back in ‘97 when Jamal Lewis ran all over the Dawgs. The Vols scored a late TD that cause Donnan to curse Fulmer at midfield
He was amazing up until he had the knee injury against Auburn in ‘98. When he came back he had a nagging shoulder injury and didn’t play as physically as before…. Then left early for the NFLI didn't start paying attention to the Vols or became a fan until 2000; but dang, every highlight I've seen, Lewis was just a beast. Just straight up trucking people, no stiff arms or jukes. lol
The blocked punt that led to the rout in 2006 is a fond memory. Dominating them in 07 at Neyland was nice too.
Of course 2015 and 2016
The early 90’s when they had Eric Zeier. Ray Goof was a horrible coach. The 1992 game is still a great watch.
I’m surprised no one mentioned 1996, when Peyton Manning failed on a QB sneak on 3rd and 1, then rolled out, and threw a TD to Marcus Nash.
Or, in 1998, when Jamal Lewis got injured and our offense looked awful against Auburn, everyone was picking UGA to beat us because Jamal was out, Al Wilson was questionable (didn’t play at Auburn), and the media was drooling over Champ Bailey and Quincy Carter. Then UT comes to Athens and completely dominates the Bulldogs, 22-3. That was the turning point for that ‘98 team in my opinion. It was after that game when I began to feel this team would truly be special. I thought we got lucky against Florida with all the turnovers, and plus our offense did not look very good after the first 4 games, but Tee Martin had a pretty good game against UGA, Travis Henry and Stephens kept the running game strong, and the defense looked like the best in the country at that time.
