Tennessee #SECNTakeover Game Highlights:
2014 South Carolina vs. Tennessee (Football)
Down by 14 points with less than five minutes remaining, the Vols staged a furious comeback led by quarterback Joshua Dobbs as Tennessee rallied from a 42-28 deficit late to beat the Gamecocks, 45-42, in overtime.

2008 Tennessee vs. Duke (Women’s Basketball)
Under legendary coach Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols ended Duke’s 24-game homecourt winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium with a 67-64 win on Jan. 28, 2008. National Player of the Year Candace Parker scored on a layup with 22 seconds to go to break a tie and seal the victory for the No. 2 Lady Vols over the No. 9 Blue Devils. Parker finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
1995 Tennessee vs. Georgia (Football)
With the game tied at 27 with less than two minutes to play, Georgia missed a potential game-winning field goal.

2002 Syracuse vs. Tennessee (Men’s Basketball)
After seeing Syracuse rally back from a 17-point halftime deficit, the Vols held off the No. 7 Orange to end their seven-game win streak, 66-62, at Thompson-Boling Arena. Jenis Grindstaff scored a career-high 18 points, including two free throws in the final seconds
