Game 17 - Western Carolina at Tennessee

September 19 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN

Before we get to the game, which Tennessee won handily 55-10, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that we have to do something about the graffiti problem in Knoxville.














Anyway, the Vols had no problem with the visitors from Cullowhee, North Carolina (had to look that one up), piling up nearly 450 yards in the lopsided victory.

I covered Tennessee wide receiver Preston Williams when he was at Lovejoy High School (Clayton County, GA), but had honestly forgotten about him until the 6-4 wide out caught the first of two touchdowns.















It was the first collegiate catches for Williams & it was part of a big day for the hosts, who also got a kick off return (Evan Berry) and a punt return (Alvin Kamara) for scores in the same game for the first time since October 28, 1950.

I remember that win over Washington & Lee like it was 64 years and 356 days ago.
