Just watched the entire game, FIVE Overtimes! This game had everything, trick plays, an interception in the end zone on a AL 2 point play, a blocked AL field goal, a TN td off a tipped ball in the end zone. It’s a who’s who of Tennessee legend players, Casey, Colquit (55 yard punt), Wilhoit (star of the Florida win), Banks, Munoz, Herrera, Fleming, Houston, everyone. Randy Sanders called a heck of a game. Chavis led the Defense.
We saw Smokey, Jill Arrington too, and heard lots of Loud Rocky Top.
TN just kept saving the game, got stronger as the game went on, and outlasted AL. With 1:52 left in regulation and no time outs, Casey and company drove the field to tie the game at 20. Then Wilhoit, our kicker, saved an AL touchdown on the kick off.
In the second overtime, it was 4th and 19 on the 34 yard line, and we converted. The announcer just quietly said’ “Unbelievable.” Then we scored a td on a tipped ball.
Both announcers agreed Casey scored that touchdown when he dove for the pylon in the 5th overtime, then Casey scored it twice when he did a quarterback sneak on the next play. For the 2 point play, Casey audibled to James Banks. Defense held on and we won a game for the ages.
Ah, the memories. Hope they show this game to our this year’s team.
GO VOLS!!!
