OXFORD, Miss. —
Trailing Ole Miss with just over seven minutes left, @ErikAinge3 connected with Bret Smith for a 30-yard touchdown to give Tennessee the lead in a 21-17 win at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in 2004.
Four former Tennessee players made the ultimate sacrifice during WWII. Their numbers have since been retired.
Rudy Klarer - killed in Europe, 1945
Bill Nowling - killed in Europe, 1944
Willis Tucker - killed in Europe, 1944
Clyde Fuson- killed in Europe, 1944

It’s been 15 years, and it’s finally time that the story of the worst possible way to lose a football game is told.
