VOLS - 2001 SECCG

VOLS would've been playing for their 2nd National Championship in four years and imo, they were one of only two teams in the country that could've hung with Miami that year (the other being Florida).

Instead, we blow an early lead with sloppy play, fumbles and John Chavis inexplicably forgets how to defend a QB sneak executed by a future dentist. Tennessee has not been an elite program since that night in Atlanta and yes, I'm still mad.

No doubt that team was loaded.
No way in the world I thought you'd lose to LSU

they had the CFB awards show the week of the game (remember everything got pushed back bc of 9/11) and when Josh Reed won the Biletnikoff award they announced he was back in BR getting ready for the SECCG, then they cut to Fulmer sitting in the audience with a not so bright look on his face. I knew right then we had a chance.
