Tennessee squeaks by in double OT
UTWEB
AP photo John Bazemore--Tennessee sophomore WR Marquez Callaway makes a catch as Georgia Tech defensive back Step Durham drags him down Monday night in Atlanta.
The Vols allowed a school-record 535 yards rushing. They were dominated in total yards and time of possession.They never held the lead in regulation. And a walk-on who is not even on scholarship made one of the most crucial plays of the game.Yet somehow, Tennessee managed to win its season opener 42-41 over Georgia Tech in double overtime Monday night in Atlanta.Perhaps the biggest play in a game of nonstop excitement was a FG block by Vol Paul Bain on the last play of regulation.
