For best execution, it's this Peyton Manning TD against 'Bama.

That is when I realized that Manning was way smarter than anyone in CFB. If I remember correctly, he said after the game that nobody knew he was going to do that, not even the o-line. That was part of his plan to really fake out the D. Brilliant.

There have been some of my favorites already mentioned. I will add Gerald Riggs Jr's overtime winning touchdown vs LSU. That game was a crazy roller coaster ride of emotions for me!

The kneel down at the end of regulation at the Missouri game.

Nice way to guarantee a New Era for UT Football.

Manning to Kent on the 1st play was 95, not 96. And we didn't send the Tide home in tears. It was played at Bama.

Maybe you should look again. It was 96 and Alabama was winning 13-0 and yes it was in Knoxville, final score UT 20 and Alabama 13. Vols finished season 10-2 with win over Northwestern in a bowl game. 1996

Yeah, if I remember correctly, Alabama actually drove it back down into our territory with a minute to go and then Leonard Little nearly killed the Bama QB on a sack/fumble to end it.

The entire December 2001 game vs #2 undefeated Florida. Best heavy weight fight since 71 Nebraska Oklahoma. Vols sent Spurrier out of the swamp for the last time with a crushing loss -- 34-32.

Stand corrected - dang, my memory isn't what it used to be.

But I tell you why I loved that game so much. I was on a business trip to Italy, was waiting in JFK to depart and only saw the pounding we were taking in the first half. Right before I boarded, the last thing I saw was the runback before half-time, which was gratifying, but I still didn't feel good about our prospects. They don't cover college football in Italy, and it was before the interweb was ubiquitous, so it actually took me until the following Tuesday to discover that Tennessee had won, when USA Today International came out with rankings (I believe released in the US on Monday's back then?) and I could see that Notre Dame's and Tennesssee's W/L indicated Tennessee had won. Couldn't believe it, but I figured that pre-halftime score had to have been the turning point. Given my healthy, long-term disdain for ND, it had to become an all-time favorite play.

Have to say, though, I'm enjoy going back and watching all the ones the rest of you have brought up. Good times.

That was a glorious night indeed. For those of you who would like to relive that titanic battle again in its entirety, here is Fulmer's pregame speech: Fulmer Pre-Game Speech, 2001, vs Florida. - YouTube

You can tell our boys were primed for maximal effort.

For the first half of the game, see 2001 Tennessee 34 Florida 32 (Vols Drain the Swamp) - YouTube .

For second half highlights, see

My actual favorite is Manning's keeper against Bama at the goal line later that game. I'll never forget watching Fernando Bryant realize what had just happened and put his hands up on top of his helmet as Manning did his run-like forward motion in to the end zone.
