but strictly best defensive battle.



You're giving credit where credit isn't due.

Shanking 12 yard punts doesn't constitute a defensive battle.....neither does fumbling hand offs

#2 Georgia Tech and #3 Tennessee met in Atlanta for a game that proved to determine the SEC title. There were 23 punts altogether, and no score until midway through the third quarter, when Tennessee end Buddy Cruze noticed that Tech had stopped double-teaming him. Quarterback Johnny Majors (who would later be head coach for UT) passed to Cruze at the 35 yard line, and Cruze ran 64 yards down to the Tech goal line, setting up the touchdown that won the game, 6-0 [8]. In the poll that followed, Tennessee was the new #1 by a margin of 2 points (1,446 to 1,444) over Oklahoma.


Then GT drove down the field but UT stopped em short of the goal line. UT was backed up but Johnny Majors surprised the Jackets with by taking the ensuing snap and punting it almost 70 yards to win the game. He promptly finished second in the Heisman to Mr. 2-8, Paul Hornung.

For Tennessee, the best game i've seen is that Kentucky one. High stakes for both teams and very close and heart-stopping overtime action.

nice one
But i think the Bama/ULM game was worse because Bama wasn't terrible like UT was

Unfortunately...Arky vs. LSU in 07' was epic...

So many big plays late in the game and OT. 4th down conversions, time outs right before the plays, all decided on a missed 2 pt.
