In one the most dramatic finishes in UT history, Tennessee squeaked past Clemson 29-28, as Condredge Holloway reassumed his role as the Artful Dodger after being slowed by injuries since the season opener thriller vs UCLA. Tennessee had come from a touchdown behind twice in a seesaw fourth quarter to set the stage for an unbelievable climax.

Trailing 28-27 and needing a second two point conversion to pull out a victory, Tennessee sent Holloway on an option to the right, the same play that seven minutes earlier had gained the Vols a 21-21 all tie. This time Clemson was set and had the senior qb closed off on every option - except for one. Condredge became the scrambler of old, cut back and retreated to the 22. He spotted Larry Seivers at the goal line and , just before he was hit, lofted a pass that the gifted Seivers caught over his shoulder.
