re: Off the wall question about the Billy Cannon punt return.

I do know that I was there. Overshadowed by the punt return was Ole Miss’ drive all the way to the Tiger goal line after the Cannon run. lSU then put on one of the greatest goal line stands in college football history, IMHO.

I was there too - in the north end zone almost directly in line with his run.

The end of the game was the payoff - I could tell nothing about the line of scrimmage on the other end of the field.

Was a real nail biter watching those last 3 plays.

Same here CB58. I’ve lived in Tennessee since 86, and I’ve enjoyed telling Vol fans how SEC 2OO1 Championship game was payback for being ROBBED by refs in 59 of back to back NC’s.

UT had won the NC in 1998, and a win against the Tigers would have had them in the NC game in the Rose Bowl. Matt Mauck ran between two future NFL All Pro DLs on Qb draws for my payback.
