Felt like we got so lucky in that game.November 8, 2003.......
28 wins in a row, a 14 pt favorite, and a “soldier,” awaited the Vols at The Orange Bowl in Miami. The Vols could only muster 170 yrds of offense, but the defense forced 4 Hurricane turnovers in UT’s 10-6 victory over Miami. On 4th and goal from the two, Fulmer called an end-around to Derrick Tinsley, who scored the game’s only TD in the 2nd quarter. The defense held, thanks to a fumble recovery on a punt return late in the game.
Brock Berlin and Kellen Winslow, Jr still have nightmares over the defeat..........

Best road game I ever attended. Met Aaron Hayden’s dad, got on the field after the game, screamed my voice away. Good timesNovember 9, 1991.......
The “Miracle at South Bend”
Down 31-7 late it the first half, Darryl Hardy blocked a field goal and Floyd Miley returned it 85 yrds for a TD. Andy Kelly threw for 259 yrds and 3 TDs and Aaron Hayden had 2 TDs to help the Vols take the lead. With 4 seconds left, Jeremy Lincoln partially blocked a field goal to preserve the 35-34 victory. The 24 point comeback was the largest in Notre Dame Stadium history.

Btw.......best road unis ever!!!!!
I was 15 years old, was a sophomore at West High School, and I was selling Coca-Cola at the game. Time of my life.November 10, 1979.......
After one of the worst losses in school history to Rutgers, the Vols hosted #13 Notre Dame, who made their first visit to Knoxville. Jimmy Streater showed the 86,497 fans (school record at the time) a combination of fluent running and passing during the first half that allowed UT to score 30 pts. Jeff Olszewski lead the team in the second half after Streater’ knee injury, but the star of the day was Hubert Simpson. When Simpson signed with the Vols, he said, “I heard Tennessee doesn’t have a fullback. They do now.” The bruising fullback had 117 yrds and 4 TDs in the 40-18 Vols victory.

As I recall, Coach Majors dismissed Mr. Simpson from the team just weeks before the ‘80 season opener against eventual National Champion, Georgia. OMO, but I’ve always thought they don’t beat us if we have Simpson.November 10, 1979.......
