IF you automatically think of 1988 as the season Tennessee went 0-6, then this show is for you! We hope to re-frame your memory of that season, because yes that team began 0-6, but after this episode is finished … if we’ve done our job … you’ll think of that season as the season we FINISHED 5-0! As the season that LAUNCHED the decade of dominance. As the season that turned a bunch of young talented inexperienced kids into a team of future SEC Champions!

Before Tennessee began its historic 1985 championship season, it was loaded with quality running backs. Keith Davis, Charles Wilson, Pete Panuska, William Howard and Big Sam Henderson were just some of the veteran backs who would be counted on. Nowhere in the preseason media guide was there any mention of a walk-on named Jeff Powell. In spite of his low profile Jeff Powell would go on to be remembered for one of the all time great runs in Tennessee football history when he came "roaring down the greensward of the super dome" in the 1986 Sugar Bowl against the Miami Hurricanes. This episode tells Jeff's fascinating story with interviews by him, his coach Doug Mathews, with archival sound from John Ward and Johnny Majors.
