HISTORY
MEMPHIS — Two Vol sophomores teamed up for the winning score in the 1974 Liberty Bowl. Randy Wallace, subbing for the injured Condredge Holloway, threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Larry Seivers, who outleaped two defenders with 2:44 left in the game to subdue the Terps 7-3. Led by All-America tackle Randy White, Maryland had kept the Vols bottled up throughout the cold December night in Memphis. The Terps got a second quarter field goal and almost made it stand up. Mike Gayles, who gained 106 yards in 17 carries, was named the Vols’ outstanding offensive player. Defensive end Ron McCartney was the Vols’ defensive standout.
REVIEW
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tennessee and Texas Tech gave the 62,000-plus fans on hand an exciting offensive show that was another in a series of 1973 games that went down to the wire before a winner was determined. This time, however, it was Texas Tech jumping to an early lead and hanging on for a 28-19 victory. Texas Tech jumped to a 14-0 lead on the running and passing of quarterback Joe Barnes and led 14-3 at the half as Ricky Townsend got the Vols on the board with a 30yard field goal. Haskel Stanback led the Vols’ second-half rally, running for one touchdown and catching a pass from Condredge Holloway for another. The Vols closed to 21-19, but misfired on a two-point conversion and a field goal before a long run and subsequent touchdown put the game away for the Texans. Stanback gained 95 yards in 19 carries and was named Tennessee’s outstanding player.
