Vols biggest upset in program history?

[Necessary Roughness]

As I watched a few games today hoping for upsets it got me wondering about Vol history concerning upsets. What is the biggest upset that UT has ever pulled off in the history of the program?

Chattanooga this year

 

[Booker512]

Definitely the 85 Sugar-vols.

 

[NorCalVol67]

‘79 Notre Dame and ‘82 Bama would have to be up there.

 

[Boston Vol]

Sugar Bowl vs Miami has to be #1.

 

[revjayp]

91 Notre Dame.
2003 Miami
Next Weekend.

 

[GAVol]

82 Alabama
85 Auburn
85 Miami
2003 Miami

Maybe even 2009 UGA.

 

[Boston Vol]

82 Alabama
85 Auburn
85 Miami
2003 Miami

Maybe even 2009 UGA.

I assume you mean 2004 uga?

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

2019 UGA

 

[GAVol]

2001 vs. Florida

Hard to call it an upset when we were top 10. That was a case of a betting line that went nuts.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

85 Sugar Bowl

Winner

I think 09 UGA was probably bigger as we just totally dominated that game.

True but we were double digit underdogs

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I think 09 UGA was probably bigger as we just totally dominated that game.

What? Tennessee was favored to win that game

 

[Boston Vol]

I think 09 UGA was probably bigger as we just totally dominated that game.

But it wasn’t an upset. UGA was 3-2 and unranked.

 

[GAVol]

I assume you mean 2004 uga?

That was an upset I'd forgotten about, but I meant 2009. We had looked really bad to that point and UGA was overrated, but was supposed to beat us easily.

1998 UF - crowd hasnt rushed the field since then

 

[NorCalVol67]

This is a refreshing thread.

For now.

Peyton Manning not winning the Heisman!

 

[Volsfaninva917]

That 2001 team would probably be the best team in my lifetime, they would have drug that 98 team through the dirt.

 

[GAVol]

But it wasn’t an upset. UGA was 3-2 and unranked.

They were just outside the top 25 and the two losses were to top 10 teams. It sure didn't feel like we had any business playing with them as bad as we looked against Auburn and UCLA. It might not have been a huge upset, but is blowing them out was completely shocking.
