pretty much nailed it for me but im gonna switch 1 and 2 and gonna replace 3 with Lucas Taylor tipping a pass for an INT in 07 SECCG or trey burton running for an 80 yard TD this past year because it completely deflated everyone

2. Blocked field goal attempt which resulted in a Bama victory in 1990 (lost game 6-3)
3. Ainge throwing it over his own shoulder from our own endzone
- tie -
3. Three consecutive pass plays/same route to Carl Pickens against Notre Dame which resulted in an INT in the endzone - 1990 (lost game - ESPN classic)

I think worst plays can't include the Cody block, because it was still a good play on his part

Fosters fumble against AL,that went for a touch back instead of a touchdown

I forgot the quarterback, it against I believe LSU, threw the ball while being tackled in the end zone and was picked off.

Running a play right before half time and bray broke his thumb...

The randy Sanders hail Mary call for ainge from our own 30 pretty much sums up the last few years. He went down, and was really never the same.

1) Hobnail boot DRIVE, not just the last play but that whole mustang defense nonsense from Chavis
2) Yes, the same play 3 times in a row against ND in 1990 (I was at the game, Ismail scored right in front of me)
3)13 men on the field against LSU's 12 men on the field I guess, still believe that should have been a wash

That was Cory Anderson.

This is one of my favorite errors regarding UT football...people who don't know who fumbled that ball, then incorrectly use it as a reason to hate Foster

1. Any Defensive
2. 3rd & Long
3. When Antwan Stewart was playing DB ('03-'06)

He truly embraced the Third & Chavis during Fulmer's late years.

1. The QB sneak with Ainge against ND - the one where Ainge got injured - completely transformed the late 2000s. It's the one play with the longest lasting ramifications for our Vols.

I would agree with this. The demise of UT football stems from 3 things, in my opinion. The injury to Ainge (caused the Rick Clausen times), the win over A&M (made there be "competition" when Ainge was healthy), and Fulmer's complacency as the SEC got better

In recent memory, I have never been so frustrated at our special teams as I was when Joe Adams of Arky made all 11 players miss him....twice.

How about the Joe whatever his last name was for Arky who ran that one back and juked about 15 defenders? They show it on ESPN every chance they get and it may be one of the main reasons he got drafted.

any tebow jump pass still makes me want to vomit.

Bray broke his thumb in the 4th quarter that game not before half time

Anybody remember the illegal hands to the face to Chris Leak in the Florida game? We had intercepted the ball at the 15. I believe gaither was the one that intercepted it. It was at Neyland and they ended up winning the national championship that year.

As far as the ainge injury.... Cutcliff did the same with him running a draw against south Carolina.

Here's my three in order:

1. Illegal hands against Florida
2. Rocky block/ Anderson's fumble through the endzone in 2005.
3. Clausens interception against LSU in the championship game.
