The real Jones from that '83 game was named Johnnie.

That game in 1983 was played in B'ham. Second unsuccessful trip.

Ol Johnnie could rip it up! See him here in Munford quite a bit.

Anybody remember the 82 game? Was that the biggest upset in UT history?

Have always liked Joey Jones. He wrote a great book about football back in the '80s called "In Good Hands". Still have it in my collection to this day.

I was there. Arguably the 1959 win over #1 LSU was bigger, but any win over a highly ranked Alabama team is a big win. They were #2 in that 1982 game.

Yep, I was there. Craziest night I ever experienced in Knoxville.

Yep I was there. In fact I was a UT Junior at the time. Don't remember Joey Jones, though.

How did you miss him? He caught a TD pass right before the half to put them up 21-13 at the half, IIRC. We stormed back in the second half to win, of course.
