No. 20 Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC) defeated UTSA (1-3, 0-0 AAC), 45-14, Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
The contest featured two historic moments.
Carlos Lopez (play-by-play) and former Vol Fuad Reveiz were on the call, featuring the first Spanish-language broadcast for University of Tennessee athletics.
“Gracias from my heart,” Lopez said after the game. “I said it before and I’ll say it again, God gets the credit and yesterday we all made history.”
Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III scored on an 81-yard rushing touchdown, the Vols’ first offensive play of the game. It was the longest run by a quarterback in Tennessee history and tied the tenth-longest rushing attempt by any player in program history.
Below is Lopez’s call in Spanish of Milton’s historic run.
GRACIAS from my ❤️. I said it before and I’ll say it again. God gets the credit and yesterday we ALL made history. @VolNetwork @Vol_Football and @UTKnoxville belongs with EVERYONE. Enjoy the FIRST EVER OFFICIAL SPANISH CALL.
