Peerless Price

Can't think of anyone good that played in the 90's against TN when I saw them and the only games I get to go see now are usually the cream puffs like Buffalo or Air Force.

My memory without looking it up was 31-11 in 1971 , and 28-21 in 1972. It seems like we were way ahead in the 2nd game, and Penn State came back .

Franco (see Franco Harris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) was a rookie with the Steelers in '72, so he didn't play in that second UT-PSU game. 'tis amazing that we convinced the Nittany Lions to visit us in back-to-back seasons without it being part of a home-and-away series. As john Ward pointed out, however, the '72 game was the first played under the lights at Neyland, so that was a big selling point back then for ABC.

If you were there for the '71 game, you saw one of the great individual single-game performance by a defensive/special teams player. On "Majors Family Day," Bobby Majors made his family and the Big Orange Nation proud, returning two punts for 82 yards, one for a score, and two kickoffs for 113 yards. See Vols Beat Penn State in Knoxville (1971) - YouTube .

If you were a UT student during that period, you must have taken particular delight in a 38-7 drubbing of Florida in 1970. See Vols Blast Gators 38-7 in 1970 - YouTube .

I was there for both Penn State games, and started to list Bobby Majors as a favorite Vol based on that 1971 game alone. A memory that I have of that game is a Penn State kickoff returner (I think Lydell Mitchell, but not positive), got confused and fair caught the kickoff at about the 5 or 6 yard line.

And yes, I do remember the Florida drubbing, as we students had some ill feelings toward Doug Dickey for leaving us to coach Florida. It was his alma mater, and he was going back home, but we hated him. In those days, Florida wasn't very good, and we seldom played. It was not a rivalry game back then. It was personal because they took our coach.
