The 1965 Tennessee Volunteers football team (variously "Tennessee", "UT" or the "Vols") represented the University of Tennessee in the 1965 college football season. Playing as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the team was led by head coach Doug Dickey, in his second year, and played their home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. They finished the season with a record of eight wins, one loss and two ties (8–1–2 overall, 2–1–2 in the SEC) and a victory over Tulsa in the 1965 Bluebonnet Bowl.

1975 as well. Opened with a win at home vs a ranked Maryland team and ended the season with a win at Hawaii...but lost to Vandy.

Appears Neyland's capacity was ~75,000 in 1975.

The only other 1977 is 99gator, so let me the first Vol ---1977 @ UTMC. Funny too because the nurses put a sign on my crib? saying future UT offensive lineman-- just under 10lbs---grew to be an astounding 5'9".
Majors first year. 4-7

Coach: This guy!



College playing career

McDonald was a halfback and quarterback for the Ohio State University football team from 1935 to 1937. In his senior year he was a team co-captain, and was named as an All-America selection. McDonald's most memorable play that year was only worth one point. He was kicking a point after touchdown against Northwestern and the ball was blocked. The holder, Mike Kabealo, grabbed the ball, pitched it back to McDonald. McDonald ran the ball around the right side for the point. The final score was 7–0.

McDonald was also a three-year starter as a guard on the Ohio State basketball team from 1936 to 1938. As a senior, he served as team captain.

McDonald was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 1986.
Professional playing career

McDonald was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles as the second pick in the 1938 NFL Draft, but never played for that team. He played two seasons with the Detroit Lions, picking up a career total of 80 yards.
Coaching career

McDonald was an assistant football coach at the University of Tennessee under head coach Bowden Wyatt from 1955 to 1962. He succeeded Wyatt as head coach in 1963, but stayed at that position for only one year. McDonald remained at Tennessee as an assistant athletic director.
