Can anybody tell me the last time Tennessee won a game on a last second hail Mary?

Never. There are several final pass completions on the final play for wins or ties, but no Hail Mary plays.

1968 Georgia and Clemson around 1974.

I honestly have no idea. The only hail Mary that even comes to mind is James Banks vs. Florida right before half-time.

Also before halftime in Gainesville in 93... Shuler to Billy Williams.

There was a Hail Mary before half roughly ten years ago, maybe a few more. I wanna say it was against Cal or UCLA and it was Kelly Washingnton that brought it down.

Ringing any bells? I was young.

That Clemson game didn't end on the pass from Holloway to Seivers. There was still just under two minutes left in the game. We held them and won.

You're probably thinking of the 03 hail mary caught by James Banks vs Florida.

Kelly Washington never played Cal or UCLA, his last year as a Vol was 2002, we didn't play either Cal(06/07 is when we played them) or UCLA(08/09) with Kelly.

Skip to 1:08:18 for the hail mary.

Yep, that's it. Thanks a lot for taking the time to do that. Posters on VN are the best.

That 2003 half time Hail Mary TD against Florida got me a free lap dance. What a glorious game that was

There is no sound but go to 39:34 to see the crazy two point conversion from Holloway to Seivers.

^^That brings back memories. What an incredible game that was. I was there.

On the Seivers catch of the 2-point conversion you can see Gus Manning running up to Seivers after the catch wearing a dark suit. There is a famous still photo of that moment that has been shared on here before

Gus was chomping on a cigar and had a briefcase full of cash in his hand. The cash was to be handed out to the players for meal money.
