[video] After being stood up at the line of scrimmage on a quarterback sneak, UT's Peyton Manning sprints away from pressure to find Marcus Nash for an improbable 5-yard touchdown pass. Manning completed 31-of-41 passes for 371 yards and two scores as the Vols won their sixth straight game over the Bulldogs. Manning tied a then-UT record with 11 consecutive completions. Jeff Hall's three first-half field goals gave UT a 9-3 halftime advantage. Raymond Austin and Terry Fair each picked off Mike Bobo passes in the fourth quarter.

In 1997, the Volunteers defeated Auburn 30-29 in the conference title game in Atlanta. Manning completed 25-of-43 passes for 373 yards and four touchdowns, including a 73-yard pass to Marcus Nash for the winning TD with 11:14 to play. Tennessee trailed 20-7 in the second quarter “I think it was the first time I ever fumbled in my college career but everyone was fumbling or dropping passes. I thought I was over” - Marcus Nash.

Led by QB Mike Bobo … Mike’s the current head coach for Colorado State… When Peyton’s team cuts the lead to 20-17 early in the third quarter, Tigers respond with a touchdown and then Tennessee gets the balls but only to turn it over.
