The Vol Network will continue its weekly radio series this Saturday, June 13 called “Vol Network Classics”.
The aim is to give Tennessee fans the chance to relive some of the great moments and games from UT’s history. Each week through June a replay of a famous football or basketball game will be broadcast.
The Vol Network Classics show for this week will be the Tennessee football victory over Notre Dame at South Bend, Indiana on November 9, 1991. The broadcast will be dedicated to former Tennessee Coach Johnny Majors who passed away at the age of 85 last week and will feature Majors’ pre-game and post-game interviews on the Vol Network that day.
The Fighting Irish, ranked #5 , raced out to a 31-7 lead late in the first half before Tennessee, ranked #13, blocked a field goal and ran it back for a touchdown as the half expired to cut the lead to 31-14.
In the second half Tennessee completed one of the greatest comebacks in school history when running back Aaron Hayden scored on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Andy Kelly to put the Vols up 35-34 with 4:03 left in the game.
Notre Dame drove for the game-winning field goal but defensive back Jeremy Lincoln famously blocked the 27-yard field goal attempt with his backside to preserve the victory.
Catch the replay Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 p.m. on WJLE AM 1480/ FM 101.7 and the Vol Network.
