KNOXVILLE — Vol Network Classic returns this week with another thrilling win for the Big Orange.
The network will re-air the 1991 game against Notre Dame, which is known as the Miracle at South Bend.
In that tilt between two of college football’s most storied programs, the Volunteers fell behind the Fighting Irish, 31-7, late in the second quarter only to come back and nab one of the biggest come-from-behind victories in UT football history.
Tennessee won the game, 35-34, played on a cold Midwestern day on Nov. 9, 2019.
The Vols scored the winning touchdown when quarterback Andy Kelly threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Hayden with just over four minutes remaining in the contest.
The Vols, who entered the game ranked No. 13 in the country, sealed their victory over the No. 5 Irish when Jeremy Lincoln blocked a 27-yard field goal attempt by Notre Dame in the waning moments.
It was Tennessee’s second blocked field goal of the day. The Vols’ Darryl Hardy blocked a Craig Hentrich’s field goal attempt and Clyde Miley returned it 85 yards for a touchdown that made the halftime score 31-14.
The game will be re-broadcast as a tribute to late Tennessee head coach Johnny Majors, who died on June 3.
The game will re-air at noon (ET) in Knoxville on WNML-FM 99.1 and WNML-AM 990.
John Ward and Bill Anderson will be on the call.
