How many times have we been “handed” a win?

And I am sure you could go back to any of these games and find other plays that also influenced the outcome but focus is always on that one key moment.

Just like my previous answer, we've never had a win handed to us. Every win was earned through sheer grit, determination, athleticism, and superior tactics. Conversely, every loss was a combination of bad luck, climate change, poor officiating, and divine intervention by jealous gods on Mt Olympus.

we only needed that hail mary after Georgia had completed one of their own.

Yea, if remember watching our DB just stop…I yelled wtf at my tv…he was stride for stride and then pulled up

It's the least they could do after the Gaffney debacle. 25 years later and it still makes my blood boil

I was there. Still can't believe that.

Oh Lord.

Why did you have to resurrect that memory in my brain. I thought after multiple battles with a bottle of Jamison, I had managed to erase that one.

Nope. It was only hiding. Sneaky little booger

Handed a win by an officiating call or mistake? I can’t recall a time since I’ve been watching Tennessee football (Peyton’s freshman year) that such a thing has happened. I can probably count on two hands how often the refs have hosed us though.

In 2007 we had to beat Vandy at home to stay on path to amazingly win the East (after monster lopsided losses to Cal, FL, Bama). Vandy was dominating us and up 24-9 halfway through the 4th quarter. And we were punting around midfield. A win was a lock for Vandy. We couldn't stop them all day. Well, they roughed our punter. Total gift. We then scored a TD, held Vandy on a 3 and out, scored another TD but missed the 2 pointer, held Vandy on 3 and out again, then drove for the game winning field goal. Won 25-24. I was there and I could hardly believe it. I think those were the only two three and outs by Vandy all game.
