Throw back to Arkansas 98, final drive

[goldvol]

I found this interesting, so dont shoot me if it's old news. As you all know, after Tennessee miraculously recovered the fumble that saved the season ("He stumbled and fumbled...Billy Ratliff recovered),
Travis Henry goes on to provide one of the most memorable drives in Tennessee history, running 5 consecutive times for 43 yards in less than 2 minutes.

Coach Cut, speaking today to the Knoxville QB club, had the following story:

He told the story of the Arkansas win, which was hinged on a play made by Billy Ratliff to force a fumble and give UT the ball for the last drive of the game. Cutcliffe said on the final game-winning drive, former UT coach Phillip Fulmer got on the headset and told his offensive coordinator they had to start throwing the ball.
"I said, 'Hell no,' " Cutcliffe said. "We are running the ball. And trust me, I just talked to that offensive line. And we're going to stick it up their you-know-what – and yes, we did."

Also, interesting rest of the article where Cut speaks about meeting Heupel at UCF and seeing something special in his practices. see link above.
