It's amazing how many former UT qbs were good in both football and baseball. In addition to Cockrell and Todd Helton, I read somewhere that Condredge Holloway had a chance to play pro baseball straight out of high school, but since he was underage his mother refused to sign the required permission form, and he came to UT to play football (as well as baseball) instead. (a HUGH thank you to Condredge's mom :bow: )
Randall Morris fumbled going in for the winning touchdown. That loss cost us a Cotton Bowl bid. It was one of those ridiculous TBS primetime games. It was about 20 degrees.
Tennessee went to the Florida Citrus Bowl, knocked Boomer Esiason out of the game, and beat Maryland. A good win, but not near as important as a trip to Dallas would have been.Ugh. I still remember it after 25 years. At the time, that was the best team Tennessee had fielded in my lifetime. After losing to Pat Dye's first great Auburn team (11-1, with a legitimate argument that they deserved the national title), they went on a roll and would have finished 9-2 without that loss to the Rebels.
It was also one of many times that Johnny's teams blew a November game that kept us from going to a much better bowl game. This one was worse, because it cost us a major bowl bid, instead of just sending us to the Garden State Bowl or something like that.
