Best single play

[orangebloodgmc]

So many good ones.

One was in early 90s, I think, Vols at LSU, they scored just before half-time to take lead and momentum. They kicked off, Pickens took it to the house to steal lead, momentum, their souls, the gumbo, everthang!

Shawn Bryson Full back dive against FL. They knew they were defeated.

 

[BIGAL27]

Hard to beat the 1998 Stoerner Fumble as a play of great consequence.

But my recent favorite is #15 Jauan Jennings beating out a handful of dawgs in the end zone to catch a Dobbs-tossed Hail Mary for the win.

Thanks for a good thread, Mike!

Go Vols!

I was at that game that crowd was rocking

If you know you know

Not sexy, but Jeff Hall's 41 yarder to beat Florida. It literally brought down the goal posts.

 

[The Original Fade]

Wilhoit’s 50 yarder to beat UF after missing the extra point earlier will always be one of my favorites just because I liked Wilhoit so much

 

[LittleVol]

Travis Stephens monster run against FLORIDA in the SWAMP for a game sealing TD

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Enough with the negativity so let's hear your best single play for Tennessee. We've had so many.
I guess mine might be the 79 yard run by Reggie Cobb against Auburn in 1989. Rained so hard that day, we were soaked.
But that run and that game were ssssooooooooo worth it.

Stumble and fumble

Maybe not the best, but this is one of my favorites:

[FLVOL_79]

Any Manning TD against Bama..but I'm really fond of the playaction pass fake that he kept and waltzed into the endzone unmolested. After that play you could hear the gnashing of tooth and lamentations of the Bammerites across the south. And all was good with the world.

“Gnashing of tooth”........lol, well done

Jason Whitten TD vs Michigan

There are so many to choose from and all the above are like walking through a time lapse of Tennessee greatness. I'll throw out one that may not get much recognition because we lost, but it was the Arkansas game within last 5-8 years ( can't remember the year). Evan Berry returned the opening kick off for a touchdown. Neyland was definitely rocking. It was my first game with my son being an adult. We were side by side and trying to talk to each other and all you could do is try and read lips. I'll never forget that moment!! Go Vols!!

Mine is not 1 play but the entire 1998 National Championship game. Not the game, but really the man calling the game on the radio. How sweet it must have been for John Ward to call that game as his last for Tennessee football. What a legend, and a true VFL he was.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

There are so many to choose from. I’ll go outside the box and say the final drive versus Arkansas in 98. That was the definition of physical football. We gave the ball to Travis Henry every time and they couldn’t stop it. They knew exactly what we were going to do and they couldn’t do anything about it. The O Line just mauled them.

 

[JRich]

There were so many crucial plays in that '98 season that everyone remembers. Jeff Hall's game winning FG against Syracuse, Cooper's missed FG in the Florida game, the Stoerner Stumble, and the pick 6 and bomb to Peerless in the NC game.

The Berry hit on Moreno is unforgettable, but for me the best single play is the Dobb Hail Boot against Georgia. That was the first time in a long time that the ball bounced our way. The sheer improbability of the end of that game is remarkable. What a thing to witness.

I was with my church at someone's house, probably 20 of them or more. It was such a beautiful moment when they all got mad

I was coaching my daughter's softball team. I'm first base coach and the third base coach is a huge GA fan. After Eason throws the bomb he is strutting around like a peacock. Then he's tucking his tail after the Dobb-nail boot.

Wilhoit’s 50 yarder to beat UF after missing the extra point earlier will always be one of my favorites just because I liked Wilhoit so much

Miss an extra point, then nail a 50 yarder with a few seconds left. Talk about from goat to hero in a few minutes.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I’m old.

Lots of great plays but the two that stick out in my mind were vs Penn State in 70 or 71.
Conrad Graham’s fumble recovery and TD and Bobby Majors punt return TD. To this day that was the best college game atmosphere I’ve ever been in. I was 14 or 15 at the time.

J. Jones TD run late in the 4th vs. Bama in '84 and both of J. Graham's runs vs. Bama in '95 and '96. Silly Willie's run "all the way to Baton Rouge's state capital was special." D. Carter's 2nd half KO return vs. Florida may have been the loudest I've ever heard Neyland.

So many awesome plays and great memories! Kinda depressing to see how far we have fallen as a program!

Loved that Dale Carter KO return vs. FL. Good call.

76 yard blocked field goal return to start the miracle at South Bend..... because I hate ND almost as much as bama and Kents play #1 already taken

 

[VOLSAO]

Before reading everyone else's replies....

First to come mind is Wilhoit. Next would be Berry's pick 6 on Tebow.

Withoit had one of the worst plays and then one of the best plays in a matter of minutes. I wish I could have been in the stadium, I bet it was electric
