Some cool stuff I thought y'all might like seeing. Ray Graves was a Knoxville boy and a General Neyland man through and through (He gave Neyland credit for his success as a coach and a did fantastic job building the gator program).
Here he is as UT's 1941 Captain:
And his old jersey from UT (may look a bit darker from the lighting):
Coach Graves was a great player, an even better man, and an amazing coach for you. Straight off the Neyland tree.

A fact some people don't know: Graves was at heart a very conservative coach (as were all SEC coaches back then)and he liked the old fashioned defense, field position and don't let the offense loose it for you gameplan.
Graves had Spurrier punt on third down several times during 1964-66. He was a terrific punter and shared duties with Hal Seymour.
It was Pepper Rodgers, the OC who really was the mastermind behind the offense and taking some chances. After Rodgers went to UCLA & Kansas (it was before he was HC at Ga Tech) our offense went south.
